Facebook has been targeted in a new wave of phishing scams by someone who likes Austrian (,at) domain names.
The latest emails send viewers to the following Austrian registered domains: Areps.at, Bests.at, Kirgo.at, Nutpick.at, and Brunga.at. Like phishing attacks before it, the message is usually something simple, such as a subject line of “Hello.”
If a user falls for the scam, the email is sent to their friends, and the cycle continues. So far it’s not clear exactly what the intentions are with the scam besides the harvesting of login details.
If you’re not sure if the Facebook email you’ve received contains a legitimate link, be sure to check the URL before logging in, or if still in doubt, don’t click on any links received via email, and log in to Facebook directly to follow up.

It’s not a phishing scam, it’s an open door into your facebook account and possibly a virus!
After getting a FB email from a friend, clicked on the link Brunga.at: I never entered any info when I followed the link, cause it looked like a phishing scam… but my account got hacked today sending out a different link to my friends today whitemart.be.
DELETE YOUR COOKIES, if you followed the link to the login page, even if you didn’t enter any info; then it put cookies on your computer!
