New rogue emails posing as official Facebook communications lead users to a website distributing a backdoor as an application called Facebook Messenger.
The emails bear a subject of "[user] listed you as his uncle" and make use of the real template corresponding to real Facebook notifications.
The body message informs recipients of several pending actions, including a friendship request and includes a www.facebook.com link that actually points to a third-party website.
The rogue page advertises a program called Facebook Messenger, which according to its description, is supposed to be an "app for quick access to messages from your Facebook account."
