Beware of fake links on Facebook
Cybersecurity experts warn that fraudsters have recently become more and more active on social media. They use hijacked or fake accounts and profiles to publish entries designed to encourage readers to click on a link.
The scheme of operation of fraudsters is as follows. When clicking on the malicious link, a false request to provide Facebook login details is displayed on the screen, e.g. to supposedly verify age. When you provide your data, criminals can take over your account and use it to continue publishing false entries or phishing for personal data, including e.g. payment card numbers.
