Facebook was running ads of malicious apps pretending to be Clubhouse for PC

Recently, a lot of ads for Clubhouse PC app are doing rounds on social media giant Facebook. However, these ads are being run by cybercriminals who are looking to target unsuspecting users with malware. Clubhouse, which is an invite-only mega-exclusive app, only has an iOS app at the moment. As per reports, these ads trace back to some Facebook pages which impersonate the audio chat social media platform.

Once a user clicks on these ads, they are directed to a fake website of Clubhouse, where a mock-up image has also been placed to show what the platform’s PC version looks like, or could have looked like if it were real. The website also has a download link for the alleged PC app for users to download.
