Nice information to get out to the gang here in this world of ours.
This is a variation of Zeuss that attacked Facebook. Most people on Facebook should have gotten notifications if they were one of the 45,000 accounts hacked at the end of 2011. Speculation is that it actually was closer to three times that many accounts that were hacked. All types of data was "slurped"; personal, financial, contacts.
The basic thing for all things on the web or email is to NEVER, NEVER, NEVER click on links from people you are not absolutely sure are legitimate.
And remember even if you know the senders email, what if their account is hacked..... it is a vicious cycle.
One more time, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER click on links unless you are positive they are for you.
Happy Tech to all!!!
