‘Is it you in the video?’ Don’t fall for this new Facebook Messenger scam

Cybersecurity firm Sophos has issued a warning for a new Facebook scam. The researchers at the firm say that cybercriminals are sending a video link from the user’s account, which will ask their friends to enter their Facebook username and password. The video link is called ‘Is it you in the video?’ If a user falls for the scam and enters their details in the link, they stand to lose access to the Facebook account.

When the username and password are added to the fake login page, it will get submitted to a server running on a low-cost web hosting service in the USA. This service is “using a vaguely legitimate-looking domain name that was registered less than a month ago,” as per a report by Sophos.
