There's a new way of hacking your Facebook account, through the ads account and publishing under your name.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A new email communication is circulating that tries to scare the owners of Facebook Pages and Ad Accounts into getting access to it and starting to advertise using their Payment Method!<\/p>\n

To try, the hackers send an email, which appears to be completely trustworthy, stating that the website associated with the ad account is no longer working and needs to be updated in order to continue to have access to the business's verification status.<\/p>\n

As a means of resolution they present 2 options, however, if the person is unable to do it themselves, they leave a button there to help them make the change.<\/p>\n

Be careful, it's an attempt at fraud!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t

How can protect<\/span> of these types of scams?<\/strong><\/p>

To protect yourself against this type of email phishing attack, you need to be aware of the warning signs and adopt appropriate security measures on your accounts. Here are some tips to help you protect yourself:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

1.<\/strong><\/span> Check the sender carefully: Before interacting with an email supposedly from Facebook, check the sender's email address. Legitimate Facebook emails usually come from an address ending in \"@facebook.com\". Keep an eye out for suspicious email addresses or those that don't match Facebook's official domain.<\/p>

2.<\/span><\/strong> Don't click on suspicious links: Avoid clicking on links provided in emails, especially if you are asked to log in or provide personal information.<\/p>

3.<\/span><\/strong> Check the authenticity of the site: Before logging in to Facebook, check that you are on the official website. Make sure the URL starts with \"https:\/\/\" to indicate a secure connection.<\/p>

4.<\/strong> <\/span>Be aware of requests for personal information: Facebook never<\/strong> asks for personal information, such as passwords, credit card numbers or bank details, by e-mail. If you receive an e-mail asking for this information, ignore it and report it as phishing.<\/p>

5.<\/strong><\/span> Strengthen your online security: Use strong, unique passwords for your Facebook account and activate two-factor authentication to reinforce account security.<\/p>

6.<\/strong><\/span> Watch out for grammatical and spelling mistakes: Many phishing emails contain grammatical or spelling mistakes. If the email looks badly written or contains obvious errors, be wary of its authenticity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We remind you that, in case of doubt, it is always advisable to contact Facebook's official support directly for further advice on how to deal with possible phishing attacks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t
