Facebook scammers are locking users out of their accounts and then soliciting their friends in private messages.
One woman is warning about a Facebook hack that caused her to lose access to her accounts.
"They immediately changed the recovery, phone number and email so that, whoever's account, they cannot recover their account," Eisenstadt said. "They start private messaging each of my friends, 5,000 people, one at a time, saying that they're me and soliciting my friends, family everyone to invest in this Bitcoin mining page," she said.She's gone through the procedure to recover her account, but it feels like she's going around in circles.
"They automate so many processes, so many of the things that you're able to change with your account, and often times these are critical things that become difficult to undo," said Dr. Clifford Neuman, a professor of Computer Science from University of Southern California.
