Cyber Experts Warn Against Campaign To Victimize More Than 5 Million Facebook Users Worldwide
New Delhi, 26th June 2022: Millions of Facebook accounts are at risk. Hackers are targeting them to steal money. Cyber experts told that a campaign is being run to victimize more than 5 million Facebook users worldwide. It is being spread rapidly through Facebook Messenger on mobile.
The shocking thing is that even though information about its phishing attack has been received now, but it is being used for the last one year.
Nick Ascoli of the anti-phishing browser extension PIXM has uncovered this attack. His research team found that there are many websites that look like Facebook login pages. A large number of users enter their login details considering it to be the real Facebook. Links to these websites are increasingly being spread on Messenger.
Hackers are earning a lot
It has been said in the report that hackers are earning big in this way. Suppose once a user has entered their Facebook details into the fake website, they will be redirected to an advertising page. Hackers can even earn hundreds of dollars a month from a single victim on these fake login pages.
Save your Facebook account like this:
1. Researchers recommend that if you see any such suspicious online scam messages, do not click on any links or attachments.
2. If you feel that something is not right with a message or website, proceed with caution.
3. Never log in to Facebook through unknown websites.
4. If you come across such a fake website, you should immediately report it to the cybercrime cell.
