Fbstarter.com, avoid that link.




Fbstarter, the new one after kromked.net. Yes, I'm sure that Face book is really under attact. Now, What is Fb Starter?

As to Fbaction.net, Facebook had said:

"We are aware of this phishing domain and have already begun to take action. Specifically, we have passed the domain on to Markmonitor who pushes the domain to the browsers for blacklisting. They will also actively try to disable the site at the server/domain level for people who don’t have updated browsers. Our user operations team has blocked the domain from being shared on Facebook and is removing the content retroactively from any messages. They will also be resetting passwords of senders to remove access from an attacker. We’re also reaching out to the ISPs to get information and will attempt to build a civil and/or criminal case against the owners."

Here is the message :

“Look at this!” and gave a link to “fbstarter.com”.

This is the complete mesage :

YOURFRIEND sent you a message.

Subject: Hello

“Visit http://www.facebook.com/l/4253f;http://fbaction.net/”

Remember: Do not enter your Facebook password if the above url is not facebook.

" I discovered that Facebook is being used to send phishing attacks. Neither the fbstarter.com nor another domain being used, fbaction.net, are dangerous, but both will try to steal your login credentials so your account can be used to launch future attacks. If you use the same login credentials on other sites, I strongly encourage you to change your passwords as well." Face book official continues.
