Phacebook Phishers Phinding Ways To Steal Your Account
Phishing isn’t anything new to the Internet–it’s a sneaky way for scammers to trick you into giving up your information (names, passwords, account numbers), allowing them to snatch up your profiles, logins, and other personal accounts.
But what Facebook phishers are doing is finding ways to obtain your information, then selling the Facebook accounts to spammers, who will use the stolen accounts to promote illegal products, malware, and other illicit websites. They will spam the hell out of these accounts until they are suspended or banned, and then move on to the next one, without any regard for the original account holder.
While Facebook hackers might not be as dangerous as stealing your Paypal account or your bank account, still they have complete access to all of your personal information, which can then be used to apply for credit cards and other forms of fraudulent credit and identity theft.
While it might seem like an obvious cautionary warning, never give out your personal details to anyone, always use different passwords (and not easy-to-figure-out passwords at that) for different websites, and always verify that the page you are logging-in to is the actual website, and not some spoof of Facebook, Paypal, eBay, or other.
All it takes is one slip up for a Facebook hacker to snatch up all your details and use your account for spamming, scamming, or worse.
