Facebook is under a serious phishing attack campaign, as highlighted by security experts at Check Point. Targeting email accounts, the campaign has deceived over 12,000 individual addresses and affected many organizations. The emails falsely claim that users are violating copyright laws, leading them to a counterfeit Facebook support page where they are prompted to provide sensitive credentials. Most of these attacks are directed towards users in the U.S. and Europe, and the use of a reputable sender address adds to the deception, making these attacks particularly dangerous.
When a phishing campaign leverages the Facebook brand, the implications are particularly consequential. This kind of deceit can result in massive information breaches.
The phishing emails adopt a strategy of a false copyright infringement notification from Facebook which tricks users into thinking they need to take immediate action.
