I received this Facebook Password Reset Confirmation Email but did not open it coz I did not request for password reset from Facebook. It was sent to my other email address and not with the one I’m using for Facebook. Funny! 
Facebook Password Reset Confirmation Email from Facebook with attached zip file
I initially thought it has a virus. It contains attachment and the email details in the message headers did not come from Facebook email servers.

According to Mashable
Another new virus is spreading through social networks, this time, via Facebook. This one – known as Bredolab – masks itself as a “Password Reset Confirmation Email,” appears to come from Facebook, and attaches a file that purports to contain a new password.
That file is actually a trojan horse that will download a host of nasty files from the Web and infect your computer with them.
So if you didn’t ask for password confirmation, don’t dare open any password reset email especially if it has attachment. Just ignore and delete it.

But my gmail has learned a lesson and blocked such mail confirming me with following :

yes indeed, the mail you have received are spam mails containing backdoors and trojans, they trick the users or recipients that this is a legitimate mail coming from facebook since its one of the most popular social networking sites in the world.
What you did is the best way to verify if the email is legitimate or not, by looking at the email headers.
It its an email from facebook, you will see the return path and the receive:from from facebook servers like the ones below…
Return-Path: <notification+ivihu1hm@facebookmail.com>
Received: from mx-out.facebook.com (outmail010.snc1.tfbnw.net [69.63.178.169])

Hi Sernan. Thanks for your comment. I received 5 more Password Reset email a while ago. It’s annoying.

if your email is hosted in a medium-large organization and you are using the email for business, i suggest you an anti spam service for your email (contact me if you need one). if you own the mail server and its an open source, spam assassin should work but you need to do some configuration.. if its just a personal use, you might want to use outlooks junk email features, or if a webmail, just add some filtering… and if you cant do anything above, just keep on ignoring them.. they would stop in time.. or much longer time

Thank you. My Spam assassin is turned on, pero nasa number 5 lang yung score nya. Should I make it higher? Dati may mga filtering ako but when I changed webhost nawala na, di na ulit ako naglagay. Naka enable lang Boxtrapper ko. Un na nga lang ginagawa ko, ignore and delete, pero nakakairita pa rin.
Good thing that I am not active at Facebook.

Obvious nga na spam kasi di naman naisend sa email na ginagamit mo sa FB. Pero di pa ako nakareceived nito. Teka, baka nasa ibang email ko rin, hehee.
