Malwarebytes documents an ongoing Facebook malvertising/phishing campaign that impersonates tragic news (e.g., fatal accident fundraisers) to trick users into clicking links; the malicious flow fingerprints visitors (IP, OS, browser, VPN/proxy) and redirects them to scam pages hosted on abused domains (examples: altairaquilae.top, windyplentiful.com, storage.googleapis.com redirects), leading to phishing, adult-content/notification scams, or further account compromise. The post includes observed IOCs, screenshots, variant updates, and practical recovery advice (remove unknown Facebook apps, enable 2FA, change passwords).
