The spam has hit the fan. News from ZD Net has stated that “Facebook” has been targeted by a malicious campaign. “Malicious attackers are currently spamvertising malicious attachments impersonating Facebook’s Support Team. Upon execution the sample Mal/Zbot-AV drops additional malware”. I also included the sample texts from the ZDnet website.

Sample subjects: “Facebook. Your password has been changed! [NUMBER]”
“Facebook. The new password to your account. [NUMBER]”
“Facebook Support. Personal data has been changed! [NUMBER]“

Sample message: Dear user of FaceBook. Your password is not safe! To secure your account the password has been changed automatically. Attached document contains a new password to your account and detailed information about new security measures.

Thank you for attention,
Administration of Facebook.
