In an exclusive report by SET News on June 30, 2024, hackers are increasingly stealing Facebook accounts and even engaging in 'parasitic accounts.' Instead of scamming the victim's friends, hackers are changing their photos to 'someone else's,' creating a new 'identity' to sell accounts and engage in fraudulent activities. Cybersecurity experts analyze that Facebook accounts with over 10 years of activity are quite valuable, easily fetching over ten thousand dollars. Victims like Mr. Lin express helplessness as hackers not only change their profiles but also taunt them after reporting the incident. Experts warn against suspicious games and unauthorized requests for Facebook account passwords, recommending regular password updates and two-factor authentication to lower the risk of being hacked.
