Phishing Campaign Impersonates Major Brands to Steal Facebook Credentials
🎙️ Paranoid Newscast
HackRead reports that widely known brands, including KFC, Red Bull, and Ferrari, have been impersonated in fraudulent job postings aimed at compromising Facebook login details as part of a sweeping credential phishing campaign. Threat actors have delivered malicious emails with a suspected templated or large language model-generated text that includes a link redirecting to a phony image challenge security check, which then takes targets to a bogus job on a Glassdoor-looking website, according to a Sublime Security report.
Targets are then lured to use either their email or Facebook account to login, with the latter prompting the appearance of a progress indicator that never finishes loading, said researchers, who noted that such a scam is indicated by the use of suspicious URLs and email addresses that are not aligned with the spoofed brand's actual website. Such a development comes after Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace users were reported by Sublime Security researchers to have their login details targeted through fake Google job offers.
