FACEBOOK SECURITY BREACH, PHISHING EMAIL FROM FACEBOOKMAIL.COM

While Facebook’s One Click feature isn’t new, it’s rarely talked about—save for confused users trying to look up whether it’s a scam. It’s a valid question, particularly in light of Facebook’s most recent security breach, wherein hackers used a bug in the platform’s code to gain access to millions of users accounts. Experts say the hack will likely lead to a rise in phishing attacks. While One Click is in fact real and not a phishing scam, it is riddled with unsafe security practices—perhaps all in the name of driving Facebook user numbers. I had sent Facebook an email to ask about when One Click was launched, and why ? I didn’t receive answers to those specific questions, but after sending an example of a One Click email to the company, a representative confirmed it came from the social network. The reporter also pointed me in the direction of Facebook’s Security Settings page, where users can confirm whether or not Facebook has sent them an email.

That tool is a helpful one, especially since users who receive a One Click access email from Facebook are greeted by the rather suspicious-looking “security@facebookmail.com” address. The email explains that Facebook has noticed the user was having trouble logging in. The note is accompanied by a button that reads: “Log In With One Click.” Click it, and the user will be automatically logged back into Facebook. (Facebook also asks users to let the company know if the unsuccessful attempt to login did not come from them.)

Everything about the One Click method seems scammy, from the “@facebookmail.com” email suffix to the password-less entry. “Sending a single-click login link via email is bad enough but also sending that email unsolicited is an extremely poor security practice.”  Some People claims they are getting this message on their email when they have no account with that email address also. Which makes it clear that it is absolutely intended for phishing or hacking your email address or Facebook address. 

 How to stay safe, just don't click on that link that they have sent you on email address. And delete this type of message from your inbox to make sure you will never going to click on this link in future.
