While investigating a basic phishing attack, security researchers from GFI Sunbelt have discovered a public cache containing almost 3,000 stolen Facebook credentials.

Sunbelt researcher Christopher Boyd was looking into a rudimentary FarmVille phish, consisting of a blank a plain HTML with only a username/password form and the text "Log in to use your Facebook account with FarmVille."

It's hard to believe that someone could actually fall for that trick, but a separate page on the same domain displays a list of what appear to be Facebook logins dating from July to present. "Welcome to our website, here you can view thousands facebook passwords. Please check the end of table, every minute there is a new hacked facebook accounts at the end of table," the page reads.
