A new scam called 'Look who just died' is circulating on the internet, where hackers trick Facebook users by posing as friends or family members of the victim, claiming that someone they know has passed away.
The scam involves sending a message accompanied by a seemingly legitimate news article link. When users click on the link and enter their Facebook login details, hackers take over their accounts, potentially accessing personal information and even stealing money.
Once hacked, the scammers send the same message to the victim's friend list, spreading the scam further. The attackers can collect sensitive data like email addresses, phone numbers, birth dates, and gain access to non-Facebook accounts as well.
Risks include malware installation and data theft, urging caution and immediate password change.
