Beware of this recent Facebook scam

A Facebook hack targeting New Zealand users has the ability to change their passwords.

Facebook messaging services are being compromised to send a message to Facebook friends, claiming the account holder is in a YouTube video.

The message reads: “It’s you [account holder’s name]!”, or “Is this yours?” and could be mistaken for a harmless message.

If clicked, the link asks for a password login, and then forwards the message to more people.
