There’s been back and forth on this.
As a practical matter, I never click on an email link or any type of attachment no matter who ostensibly sent it. I assume they’re infected or spoofs or phishing and proceed with extreme skepticism. |

I saw those also. At any rate, I won't be taking any chances. My computer is my bread and butter.
I did hear that FB is coming out with a new way to set up privacy settings. |
