Malware has also been flung as a fake Java update

Emails purporting to be from Facebook and claiming that the recipient’s account has been temporarily disabled have been observed in the wild distributing a link to a malicious file.

Cybercriminals often rely on this theme as a lure since there is a high chance that the recipient of the message has a Facebook account and would be interested in the modification added to the social network platform.

In this case, the reason claimed for the alleged account suspension is a renewal of the terms and policies document.

Facebook does make changes to its policies but these are signaled once the user logs into their account in order to make sure that the new terms enjoy the desired visibility and are not lost in the email feed.
