Spammers Impersonate Facebook Staff to Push Trojans

Security researchers from Websense warn that a new round of spam emails carrying malicious attachments pose as password reset notifications sent by Facebook employees. An example of such an email bears a subject of "Facebook Password Reset Confirmation" and its From field lists "Facebook Security-Manager, Sylvia Eary" as sender. Compared to previous spam campaigns with a Facebook password reset theme, the contained message is well formulated and reads:

"Hey,

You have a requested a new password.

You can find your new password in attached file.

Please pay attention to the fact that this email has been sent to all contact emails connected to your account. If you did not request a new password, it's likely that another user has mistakenly attempted to log in with the help of your login.
