Hackers Continue To Leverage Facebook’s Ads Manager To Send Credential Harvesting Links: Avanan

A few weeks ago, researchers at Avanan observed how threat actors are using the Facebook Ad Manager to send credential harvesting links. Since then, Avanan has continued to see this campaign being used to get into the inbox and steal credentials. 

Similar to the previous attack, users of Facebook Ads get an email that they have violated the Terms of Service. In order to avoid losing permanent access to the account, users are encouraged to create an appeal by clicking on the link provided. Users are warned that if they do not complete the form within 24 hours, their account may be disabled.
