   Fake Facebook businesses lure 5k honest

   More than 5,000 businesses that use Facebook for advertising were   
   bombarded by tens of thousands of phishing emails in a credential- and   
   data-stealing campaign.   
      
   Check Point researchers say that they spotted about 40,000 phishing   
   emails sent to their customers across the US, Europe, Canada, and   
   Australia - and they were sent from the legitimate facebookmail.com   
   domain.   
      
   While most organizations received fewer than 300 messages, one company   
   alone was hit with more than 4,200.   
      
   To pull off this phishing expedition, the criminals created shell   
   Facebook Business pages representing businesses that don't exist, and   
   then used the Business invitation feature to send phishing emails that   
   look like the real deal.
