Facebook Phishing Scam

Monday, 30 November 2009

I logged into Facebook this morning to see I had notifications. Including a photo comment, which is something I usually check.

Facebook notifications

Clicking on it, I realise I have to log into Facebook again.

Facebook login page

Like, wtf mate. I just logged in! You can’t do this to me! You always do this to me! ARGH!

Until of course I checked the URL.

It’s a good habit because…

…I was about to give away personal details to Faceboo. Which sounds more like a Halloween prank than a social networking site.

HAHA squids. So delicious.

Please check the URL’s of any site you’re logging into. Otherwise someone’s going to log into your account, steal all your pictures and the next thing you know you’re the poster girl for the Facebook of Sex.

(Actually no, the skanky photos come from MySpace.)
