Somebody was phishing my account on facebook :(?

[Anna]

Sb followed me on twitter, I clicked on his facebook account link, but my own facebook account appeared. Then I looked at the link again and the link was like http://www.facebook.com/editprofilephp?sk-contact. I changed my facebook and yahoo mail password immediately. Is everything ok now, or this person can still enter in my personal account?
I clicked in this link ''www.facebook.com/editprofile.php?sk=contact'', because I thought it was the link of the facebook of this person and I wanted to friend him on facebook, but when I clicked on the link my own personal account appeared. As the link had the ''php'' in it, I thought it was a phishing link

Can you give some more details? I'm not 100% clear on what happened based on what you said. I do know that facebook can be strange sometimes. It sounds like you didn't even need to change your passwords, but I may be misunderstanding what happened.

Ah, I see. You are perfectly safe and didn't even have to change your passwords (although it never hurts to do so). PHP is a server side scripting service, and a php file is a script that will run and return the results to you (All of the commands and actual work are carried out on the server, the results are all that are returned to you) and so I believe PHP is actually safe regardless as all it does is return information.

In this case, that particular link is facebook's link for editing whoever's logged in at the moment. In other words, if your friend is logged into facebook and they follow that link, it will take them to their edit profile page, if you are logged into facebook and you follow that link, it will take you to your edit profile page, and if I am logged into facebook and I follow that link, it will take me to my edit profile page, and it did just that when I clicked it.

In short, you are perfectly fine, there is nothing to worry about

Your Fine and Thats Not A Phishing Link A Phishing Link is a Fake Website that Looks Like Facebook and That Link is A Link to Facebook.com
