Security experts from Kaspersky Lab have spotted an ongoing cross-platform malware campaign on Facebook Messenger. Spammers are actually infecting users of all platforms with adware. Users receive a video link that redirects them to a bogus website set up to lure them to install a malware. Researchers believe threat actors leverage compromised accounts, hijacked browsers, or clickjacking techniques to spread the malicious link. They use social engineering to trick users into clicking the video link, which pretends to be sent from one of their Facebook contacts.”]
