A persistent Facebook phishing campaign is circulating posts that appear to come from friends and link to fake news/video pages which prompt users to enter Facebook credentials. Mobile users are redirected to a fake 'NewsAmericaVideos' site that requests login details, while desktop redirects lead to Google or other scam pages; compromised accounts are likely reused to amplify the scam. The campaign is widespread and ongoing, and the article recommends enabling 2FA (preferably via an authenticator app) to mitigate account takeover.
