“Look at This” Facebook Phishing spread ultra fast

(CNN)Facebook Hackers Phishing and Taking Over Facebook Accounts
Today i realised that the mails i get in my Facebook account with the title “Look at This” which holds a simple link and is all time difference is not a one time thing .
Mostly the links point too a site with Facebook site look and login window ,don’t follow the link and don’t enter any information there or your Facebook account could get rapped .
There could run some Activex malware too if your computer is not on a save status with the newest anti virus and protection with the right settings what is not easy for most people.
The FB mail comes mostly fromone of your friend even than dont open as it could spread the same massage over your account.

Still now the urls are mostly European like ****.bl and even *****.at Austrian ones.
It looks that it spreads very fast
Proffen Phishing sites i get reported
FbStarter.**
goldbase.**
picoband.**

Recived from my Frind Justyna G.

“FACEBOOK has detected suspicious activity on my Facebook account and has reset my password as a security precaution. It is possible that malicious software was downloaded to my computer or that my password was stolen by a phishing website designed to look like Facebook. ” DON’T GO TO THIS “tinyurl(.)com/****/*****”

I get already multi of this over Facebook mails.
Hoppe Facebook Admins soon find the intruder and source of this malware.

what to do ?
First of all when you ben on one of the Pages the Url change very often and are hostet on free parking domains .To make it hard for Facebook Admins to track they show you a Url like gro**rd(insert dot)ru
Change your Facebook Passwords immidietly if you don’t want they get misused and your friends get the same Phishing Email and Virus on there Account.
Make a Scan with a update Virus Scanner or one of the Free Tools below
(Video solution Works only for ealy viruses )
The research of Professors Dan Boneh and John Mitchell Spoof Guard developed as an extension of Internet Explorer. Pwd Hash, however, is also available for Firefox. The version for Firefox is compatible with the version 0.8 of new and significantly more mature than the version 0.4 for the IE Both programs are still to be as prototypes.
