It seems there's no end to the Facebook spam and phishing attacks. Today my Facebook inbox shows there's another attack underway that's suckering even some of the most tech savvy users: I'm receiving Facebook mails with links to ".be" sites which are obviously nefarious. The subject line of the mails is "Look at This".

If you receive such a mail, DO NOT click links to the following sites:

goldbase.be greenbuddy.be silvertag.be picoband.be

As we saw with Twitter's Mikeyy attacks, these scams are particularly effective at weekends because the websites have less staff on hand to deal with them.

What To Do

If you receive one of these Facebook mails, simply delete it - one of your friends is infected but not you. If you find, however, that your account is sending the mails:

1. As a precaution, go to your browser settings and clear your cookies.

2. Change your Facebook password

3. Make sure your antivirus software is up to date and run a full system scan
