The anatomy of Facebook malware-laced ads

Criminals are hijacking business social media accounts to misuse them, according to a report by G Data Software. It details a recent attack on a marketing agency, where an ad was laced with malware to steal a browser session cookie and gain access to the agency’s Facebook account. The report advises against saving passwords in a browser, recommends using multifactor authentication, never clicking on suspicious links, and always logging out after sessions.
