Phishers are deploying what appears to be a clever new trick to obtain people’s Facebook passwords by presenting convincing replicas of single sign-on login windows on malicious sites, researchers said this week.
Single sign-on, or SSO, is a feature that allows people to use their accounts on other sites—typically Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, or Twitter—to log in to third-party websites. SSO is designed to make things easier for both end users and websites. Rather than having to create and remember a password for hundreds or thousands of third-party sites, people can log in using the credentials for a single site.
