Finland warns of Facebook accounts hijacked via Messenger phishing

/in


Facebook

Finland’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-FI) warns of an ongoing phishing campaign attempting to hijack Facebook accounts by impersonating victims’ friends in Facebook Messenger chats.

In the alert, the NCSC-FI says that all Facebook users who received messages from online acquaintances asking for their phone numbers and a verification number delivered via SMS are the targets of this ongoing scam.

If they provide the information they’re asked for, the attackers will take control of their accounts by changing the password and associated email address.

Once hijacked, the Facebook accounts will target other potential victims from their friend list in similar scams.

“In the attempts, a hacked account is used to send messages with the aim of obtaining the recipients’ telephone numbers and two-factor authentication codes to hijack their Facebook accounts,” the cybersecurity agency explained.

To successfully hijack their targets’ Facebook accounts, the scammers will go through the following steps:

  1. They first send a message from the previously compromised friend’s account via Facebook Messenger.
  2. They ask for the target’s phone number, saying they want to help with registering for an online contest promising prizes of thousands of euros.
  3. The next stage involves asking for a code sent via SMS allegedly sent by the contest’s organizers to confirm the entry.
  4. If the SMS confirmation code is shared with the scammers, they will use it together with the phone number to access and hijack the victim’s Facebook account.
  5. Next, they will change the account password and email address and start forwarding similar scams to the victims’ friends.

“The best way to protect yourself from this scam is to be wary of Facebook messages from all senders, including people you know,” the NCSC-FI advised.

“If the message sender is a friend, you can contact him, for example, by phone and ask if he is aware of this message. This information should not be disclosed to strangers.”

Meta (formerly known as Facebook) has recently filed a federal lawsuit in a California court to disrupt other ongoing phishing attacks targeting Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp users.

Finland Fending Off FluBot Malware, Again

/in


The Finnish National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-FI) has issued a warning to citizens about the current version of the FluBot malware campaign which is affecting “tens of thousands of people in Finland.”

The malware campaign leverages SMS by sending out numerous text messages, according to NCSC-FI. The messages, all of which are written in Finnish, use different verbiage.

A telltale way to identify the messages as illegitimate is to look at the alphabet used in the creation of the messages; they are missing certain Scandinavian letters (å, ä and ö) and include symbols in odd places. The analysis by the NCSC-FI is that the insertion of these symbols is by design—to make it difficult for telecom operators to filter out the FluBot SMS messages.

While the individual message text may vary, the underlying theme and the socially engineered “hook” is that the recipient has received a voicemail. Clicking on an included link will prompt them to allow installation of an app onto their device to listen to the fake voicemail; if they allow it, the malware is then installed.

The NCSC-FI advises that the malware, once in place, steals the individual’s data and also sends additional “malware-spreading scam messages.”

Déjà FluBot

This is not the first instance of the FluBot malware appearing in Finland. The June 2021 campaign saw thousands of victims falling for the scam. Back in June, the hook was that the recipient had a “package awaiting delivery” and the link ostensibly took the user to a package tracking site.

The current campaign is targeting Android devices with a mobile subscription from a local telecommunications operator. Apple device owners are redirected to another website controlled by the cybercriminals.

Antti Turunen, head of anti-fraud at Telia, said this instance of FluBot is worse than the summer campaign. Teemu Makela, chief information security officer (CISO) at Elisa Oyj, added, “The malware attack is highly unusual and very alarming. A significant number of text messages are passing through. It is estimated [that] millions of SMS messages are passing through the various mobile service providers with Telia indicating it had intercepted several hundred…
