Government of Romania: New Cyber ​​Warning regarding Social Networks

The Romanian government is talking below about an important warning regarding a serious cyber security problem at the center of which are social networks, so you should look carefully at what is being sent to Romanians.

"Pay attention to the notifications received on social media. Always check how plausible the received information is, validate its transmission with the sender when in doubt, and also scan the link with a security solution before clicking!
Attackers use the method of registering pages with names that seem to represent the notification system of a social network (eg: Information Pages), to give an image of authority in the eyes of those who interact with posts like the one below.
Next, you have an example of one such Facebook account publishing a 'warning' post for tagged pages, threatening to suspend the page's activity if they don't 'verify their identity' by accessing a link strategically placed in the text of the post .
Once that link is accessed, it can infect the device with malware, or alternatively, it can lead to a phishing site that usually asks for social media account credentials. Once entered, this data is in the possession of attackers, who can hijack the accounts to perform activities for personal purposes.
Thank you once again to those who report such attempts to us, so that we can alert users in Romania about the latest online threats!"
