A new phishing scam designed to trick facebook fan page owners into divulging their facebook login details.
Phishing emails claiming to come from "Facebook Security" are hitting Facebook page owners inboxes, and claims that a new security feature called the "Fan Page Verification Program" is being implemented and that page owners must click a link and choose a security code to complete the process. and also warned that their Facebook Page will be suspended permanently if the process is not completed by May 30, 2013.
According to Hoax-Slayer (Security Researchers), The scam email purports to notify creators of Fan Pages of an "Original Solution" for keeping their pages safe, but is unfortunately meant to do quite the opposite.
Example:
After victim enter all their detials and information, they are told that they will recieve a confirmation email within 1 day. But this is fake, and victim just handed all the keys and login details to attacker. and attacker can use victim detials and information to hijack Facebook accounts and pages and spam with malicious link to a large number of Fan Page users.
