Phishers have been targeting Facebook users with an attack designed to
steal account usernames, passwords and other sensitive information.
Victims receive massages indicating their passwords have been reset as
a security precaution; an accompanying attachment purports to contain
the new password, but actually contains a Trojan downloader program
known as Bredolab. Infected computers could potentially become part
of a botnet. A second Facebook attack arrives as an invitation to use
a new login procedure; the spoofed login page appears with the
username already filled in and asks for the password. Users are then
prompted to download the update, which is actually a variant of the
Zbot Trojan.

I have gotten a truck load of these emails and I don't even have a facebook account, so please do not open it.
