Rogue and compromised Facebook accounts are being used to share a phoney 'Facebook recovery' message that contains a page designed to defraud Facebook users of their login details, initially and, ultimately, their bank details.
Clicking on the url takes the user to the following page, from which the hackers look to acquire login details. Note the url - no mention of 'facebook' in the address bar, at all. Also note the poor use of English, a common marker in many a phishing scam.
On clicking 'Log In' the fraud ramps up. The hackers go from taking Facebook details to gaining banking information by way of the following page. Again, note the url and more dreadful English.
Most of the users affected so far have been located in north America and Asia. However, all users are potentially vulnerable and should pay attention to any messages pertaining to come from Facebook that are written in broken English with links to non-Facebook related urls.
