Digital Trends – Discovered by Kaspersky Lab Expert David Jacoby, a complex Facebook phishing scheme first obtains access to a userâs Facebook account through standard phishing methods. Once the scam artist gains access to any account, they change the user picture to the Facebook logo or icon and alter the userâs name to âFacebook Securityâ that contains specific ascii characters to replace a few select letters. While pretending to appear as an official Facebook account, the scam artist initiates a chat dialogue with all friends to that account and posts a link that states âYour Facebook account will be turned off because someone has reported you. Please do re-confirm your account security by: âInsert Linkâ Thank you, The Facebook Team.âÂ
