If you get a Facebook Password Reset Confirmation email, don't open it. It contains the Bredolab trojan, which will play havoc with your hapless PC. (Folks are calling it a virus, but it's actually a trojan- you must download it yourself for it to take effect)
If you see this message in your inbox:
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,
The Facebook Team
... It's not really from the Facebook Team. It's from bad guys.
The attachment has the name Facebook_Password_4cf91.zip and includes the file Facebook_Password_4cf91.exe. the part between _ and .zip at the end is choosen randomly and contains letters and numbers.
