Security Stop-Press : Facebook Phishing Scam

Security

Security company PIXM has warned of a Facebook scam, active since Q4 2021, which has ensnared nearly 10 million users. The credential harvesting scam uses a fake Facebook login page. When a user logs in, the threat actor gets their credentials and can then use an automated program to send out the link to the user’s Friends via Facebook Messenger. The advice is to take extra care with any messages received through Facebook Messenger.
