VIRUS ALERT: Fake Facebook e-mail releases trojan virus

For all Facebook account holders, beware of a current e-mail that may be sent to you by a false Facebook support team. The e-mail claims that your account password had to be changed and instructs you to open an attachment included in the e-mail. The attachment contains a trojan called Bredolab.
