Post by: Eric on September 22, 2010, 15:39:59 PM

BEWARE: E-mails are being sent with the following text (and an attached ZIP file);

"Dear user of facebook.

Because of the measures taken to provide safety to our clients, your
...password has been changed.
You can find your new password in attached document.

Thanks,
Your Facebook."

Delete the mail and DO NOT open the zipped file!

Thank you...  :)

Good idea Tinx.  This message was sent to me by Fi's eldest son who is a computer engineer, so it is a genuine risk not an urban myth.
