What is Facebook Phishing?

Ok I heard about this on the news one night but I don't really understand it. So what exactly is Facebook Phishing?What is Facebook Phishing?
It's simply like this..



phishing site is a exactly same page of the normal facebook login page. But when you enter your email and the password on login field, phishing sites save those login details. then the owner of the phishing site can login to your facebook account with your details later!

only way to recognize a phishing site is reading the address bar of the browser. it should be the normal facebook login URL. if you see something like "www.newfacebook.com/login.php" or "www.facebookbeta.com/login.php" DONT try to login with your real details!



XDWhat is Facebook Phishing?
There is an email scam going round at the moment telling you that your Facebook password has been changed and asking you to log on to find your new password. Don't, it just let's some phoney into your private details and goodness knows how they'll use them once they have them.
