Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has warned its users about hundreds of apps on Apple and Google’s app stores that were especially designed to steal login credentials to the social network app.
According to The Verge, the company has said that over 400 malicious apps disguised as games, photo editors, and other utilities have been identified by them.
Facebook is notifying users who “may have unknowingly self-compromised their accounts by downloading these apps and sharing their credentials.”
In its post, Meta said that the apps tricked people into downloading them with fake reviews and promises of useful functionality; both are common tactics for other scam apps that are trying to take money rather than your login info. (With inputs form Agencies)
