Experts from the Security Web-Center discovered a number of 35 websites designed to fully or partially replicate Facebook pages with the purpose of phishing the credentials of unsuspecting members.

Among the 35, a French site is the best. It perfectly copies the log-in page of the genuine social network to make sure visitors don’t hesitate in handing over their account details.

By utilizing a domain called frfacebook.fr, the crooks want to make sure that only some minor aspects differentiate the fake page from the legitimate one.

This is how some of the other false domains look like:

http://www.facebook.pcriot.com/login.php
http://deadlyplayerx.binhoster.com/Facebook/securelogin.php
http://facelook.shop.co/login.php
http://sigininto.horizon-host.com/facbook/facebook.php
http://custom-facebook.info/facebook.htm


Users are advised to check before entering information on a website, to avoid becoming a victim of a clever phishing expedition.

In this case, I advise you to take a peek at the sites to see what a phishing site looks like and, if they seem familiar, be sure to immediately change your password as you might have already taken the bait.
