Warn HN: Facebook notification tricked me into downloading a malicious file

Be careful which notifications you choose to open. A new kind of threat, which can do some nasty things now exists : it shows you that a friend of yours mentioned you in a comment and it automatically downloads ( not sure if auto executes ) a .jse file which is a malicious script

Care to provide some screenshots?
Deleted the data and it also seemed Facebook managed to detect the malware application that distributed the data although it was quite late ( I already clicked on it )
What browser?
Happened on Chrome mobile, but pretty sure it's reproducible on desktop too.
