News: Copyright Infringement Lure Used for Facebook Credential Harvesting

In recent weeks, Facebook users have been targeted by a new type of online scam that involves copyright infringement as a lure. Scammers are using fake copyright notices to trick users into clicking on malicious links that lead to phishing sites designed to steal login credentials. The goal of these scammers is to harvest personal information and compromise user accounts. Users should be cautious and diligent in protecting their online security.

How are scammers using copyright infringement as a lure?

Scammers are sending fake copyright infringement notices to users, claiming that their content has been illegally shared. The notices include links to websites that supposedly contain more information about the infringement. When users click on these links, they are directed to phishing sites that mimic legitimate login pages, prompting users to enter their credentials. Once entered, the scammers harvest the information for malicious purposes.

What should Facebook users do to avoid falling for this scam?

Facebook users should be wary of unsolicited emails or messages claiming copyright infringement. They should verify the authenticity of any copyright notice by checking the official source or contacting Facebook directly. It is important to never click on suspicious links or provide login information on unfamiliar websites. Users should also enable two-factor authentication on their accounts for added security.

How can users report suspected copyright infringement scams?

If users receive a suspicious copyright infringement notice or encounter a phishing site, they should report it to Facebook immediately. Users can use the platforms reporting tools to flag the content as fraudulent or deceptive. By reporting these scams, users can help protect themselves and others from falling victim to similar threats in the future.
