/ 1 min read

🕵️‍♂️ Cybercriminals exploit fake live support to target Meta users in sophisticated phishing scheme. A recent analysis reveals that attackers are using fraudulent live support chat services to deceive Meta/Facebook users into sharing sensitive information. By mimicking legitimate customer support interactions, these schemes lower users’ defenses, making them more susceptible to scams. The phishing process often begins with an email claiming unusual activity on a Facebook account, directing victims to a fake landing page that appears authentic. Attackers leverage trusted platforms like Salesforce to send these phishing emails, enhancing their credibility. As phishing tactics evolve, users are urged to verify communications and avoid sharing personal information through unsecured channels to protect themselves from these threats.
