Facebook hacked again

Hackers on Thursday broke into accounts and sent e-mails to friends urging them to log on to fake Facebook sites.

The hackers got passwords through what is known as a phishing attack, breaking into accounts of some Facebook members, then sending e-mails to friends and urging them to click on links to fake Web sites.Those sites were designed to look like the Facebook home page. The victims were directed to log back in to the site, but actually logged into the one controlled by the hackers, unwittingly giving away their passwords.
