Phacebook Phish Attack

There is a Phishing Swarm Attack targeting Facebook users and their Passwords
Supposedly Facebook has blocked the problem URL, but even I fell for this one the other day. What I will say is that my Google Chrome browser alerted me immediately to the scam right after I entered my password.

The problem is that it follows a very plausible sequence that when someone writes something on your wall, you enter your password to enter your account to respond.

So even the mighty Facebook has fallen prey to a widespread attack I got fooled by the credible looking site that displays a fake Facebook login. I immediately changed my password.
