Facebook has filed lawsuits against two groups of suspects who took over advertising agency employees’ accounts and abused its ad platform to run unauthorized or deceptive ads. Facebook refunded and helped the victims secure their accounts. The social network also sued California marketing company N&J USA Incorporated and its agents for running a bait-and-switch advertising scheme on Facebook’s ad platform. This is the second time the social network giant has sued ad platform abusers for orchestrating account takeover attacks targeting Facebook accounts. In 2019, Facebook sued one entity and two individuals for tricking its users into installing malware via Facebook ads.
