Computer users are receiving emails claiming that the popular social network has automatically changed their password to secure their account.

Here's a typical message:

Your alarm bells should be ringing instantly when you receive this message for a number of reason, not least that it can't decide if it's "Facebook" or "FaceBook", but also because why would Facebook ever email you an attachment? And why are they being so impersonal and not using your name?

Its really convincing for receiving an email from facebook about changing the password but with this sending with attachment well you might think it first if facebook really sends you with attachement.
