Facebook users are being warned about a new account hacking scam that could infect their devices with malware.
Posts featuring phrases like ‘I can’t believe he’s gone’ and ‘I’m going to miss him’ are circulating on the platform. Although it might be tempting to click on the links to learn more, doing so could result in downloading malicious software.
Facebook users will encounter this scam when another hacked account you’re connected to, or ‘friends’, post something to grab your attention, such as ‘I can’t believe he’s gone.’
Under this post, the hacked account will then post a link, attempting to give the impression that the link reveals the story behind the post.
Avoid! Don’t click the links.
