( Mashable ) -- A Facebook phishing attack is on the loose this weekend -- the third widespread attack on the site in the past three weeks . The attack attempts to steal your Facebook login credentials , install malware on your computer , and even get your home address . The attack is spread via a `` hilarious video '' posted to Facebook walls , reports WebSense -- when clicked , a form appears requesting your Facebook login . The attack then returns you to Facebook , installs an app called `` Media Player HD , '' and asks you to download the `` FLV player '' -- doing so installs malware on your machine . It gets worse : Depending on your location , you may also be presented with a contest to win an iPad ... if you just enter your home address . To avoid getting caught , simply remove the `` hilarious video '' if you find it on your Facebook wall . If you see it elsewhere on Facebook , do n't click it ... and of course remember the obvious rule : Do n't enter your Facebook login anywhere other than Facebook.com . If you already fell for the attack , change your Facebook password , uninstall the Facebook app ( often called `` Media Player HD '' ) , and run a virus/malware scan on your computer .
