And it’s spreading fast! The email is short, cheesy and semi-Engrish, but nonetheless contains a password stealer that is instantly activated once you open it. The password stealer may grab more than just your Facebook credentials, so please do not open this email. The email itself has the following elements:

From: help@facebook.com
Subject: Facebook Password Reset Confirmation Customer Support
Email Body: Dear user of facebook,

Because of the measures taken to provide safety to our clients, your password has been changed.
You can find your new password in attached document.

Thanks,
Your Facebook

You can tell from reading the email, that the grammar is atrocious, the subject line is overly long and somewhat contradictory (you wouldn’t confirm something the user hasn’t done yet), and customer support would not be in charge of an email server operation. The opening, “Dear user of facebook” is clearly not how Facebook would address you. It would have your name, and if they did reference themselves, they would certainly capitalize Facebook. And ending with “Your Facebook?” Please.
