A new phishing scam designed to steal your Facebook data has come to light. You might be receiving a mail or a message on social media asking you to recover your Facebook account, before it is permanently closed.
The scam is focused on getting Facebook credentials, along with phone number and date of birth of a user. The scam came to light beacuse of the bad English in the message.
Aside from that, the page where you enter your details (the phishing page) is hosted on cloud sharing website Dropbox, allowing for all data you input to be conveniently for the hacker or hackers.
The details are then posted online on a .PHP page, preferably to be sold. No official word is yet out from Facebook on the matter, but www.blog.malwarebytes.org has cautioned users to be careful before responding to any such message, suspected to be from hackers.
