BEWARE: Phony Facebook Phishes The French

![][1]It's [phishing][2] season in France, and the bait is email from Facebook impostor www.frfacebook.fr.

While we normally hyperlink to relevant websites and posts, we will not hyperlink to the URL above, as [Security Web-Center][3] reported that the clever fake domain was used to steal more than 5,000 Facebook user names and passwords.

Security Web-Center suggests that potential victims:

* Change all exposed passwords;
* Contact the company or organization that was being spoofed (Facebook, in this case);
* Alert it that your personal information was exposed;
* Ask it to cancel any accounts affected (Note: We don't recommend this for Facebook, obviously, but view it more as a general tip); and
* If the information provided can be used to access other institutions, such as credit-card companies, contact them, as well.
