Hackers are using fake Meta suspension emails to spread malware: How to keep your devices safe

A new wave of phishing attacks is making the rounds, and this time, cybercriminals are hiding behind Meta’s name. Users have started receiving emails warning that their Facebook or Instagram accounts are about to be suspended. But instead of coming from Meta, these messages are part of a sophisticated malware campaign designed to steal personal data.

How the scam works
The attack, first flagged by security firm Acronis and reported by Bleeping Computer, uses a technique called FileFix, a variant of the ClickFix malware family.
