Facebook has filed a new lawsuit against a Hong Kong-based advertising company and two Chinese individuals for allegedly abusing its ad platform to distribute malware and Ad fraud. The suit seeks to hold accountable ILikeAd Media International Company Ltd. and Chen Xiao Cong and Huang Tao for creating the malware, tricking people into installing it, compromising people’s Facebook accounts and then using those hacked accounts to run deceptive ads. Facebook said the defendants made use of improper practices such as “celeb bait” and “cloaking” to bait users into downloading and installing malware that eventually compromised their Facebook accounts.
