Researcher continues saying that “While using YM recently I received new IM Spam from my one [sic.] of my friends. Just by the look of it I could tell that it was most likely a malware related IM Spammed Message. Following spammed link hxxp://priv{REMOVED}deo.com/live lead me to a fake Facebook Login webpage. If I had entered my Username and Password and clicked login button, my details would’ve been sent to remote server hxxp://priv{REMOVED}deo.com/live/logs.php via HTTP POST.
