Hackers sending fake copyright complaint notice with malware to Facebook users: Expert

Cyber criminals are sending out fake copyright complaint notifications to Facebook users with malicious links that can harm computers, a security researcher warned on Thursday. Criminals have created several pages in the name of Copyright Constraints Page 2021. The warning message for users claims to be from Facebook Security Team.

The criminals are tagging politicians including Members of Parliament, MLAs, government officials, and celebrities.

“Beware!! Hackers are targeting almost all Politicians, Celebrities, Media and famous Facebook accounts globally. You may receive a fake Copyright Complaint notification on FB. Don’t click on the link. It’s Malware/Ransomware,” cyber security researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia tweeted.
