Got a report of someone having their Facebook status changed to this:

“”Hey, your profile image is featured on ubzcode.com”

The same message was written on all of the person’s friends walls…… and hopefully, her friends were suspicious enough not to follow the link!

Essentially, this is a “phishing scam” — For those of you who have never heard of this, “Phishing” is when people are lured into giving out their private information (login names, passwords, credit card information) to the bad guys. It could be a phony version of a legitimate website; it could be a phony website designed to look like a legitimate service. Regardless of how they ask, you’ll know you are being phished when you get that funny feeling when you are being asked.

Listen to that feeling, m’kay?

After a little poking around, I found this blog posting (as well as this one) with some additional details.

If you see your Facebook status changed without your knowledge, you should immediately change your password! Also a good idea to check out the Facebook Security Resources on their website — lots of good information, on-line virus scanners, etc.

Not sure what these guys are all about, but it looks like one of the more bizarre approaches to Phishing that I’ve ever come across!
