Phishing Scam Targets Business Pages on Facebook: Kaspersky
Kaspersky researchers have discovered a new phishing scam targeting businesses promoting their Facebook pages. The scam uses emails that appear to be from Meta for Business, falsely claiming the recipient’s page has prohibited content.
These emails, first appearing on December 14th, urge businesses to provide explanations through a link to avoid account blockage. However, the link directs users to a fake Facebook Messenger support account designed to steal login credentials.
Kaspersky’s investigation revealed that the emails originated from various unrelated domains, not from Facebook.
Andrey Kovtun, Email Threats Protection Group Manager at Kaspersky, warned of increased such attacks in 2025 and advised businesses to be vigilant. He recommends enabling two-factor authentication, using strong passwords, and employing reliable security solutions. If targeted by this scam, Kovtun urged businesses to report the incident to Facebook and immediately change compromised passwords.
