Fake “I Can’t Believe He’s Gone” Facebook Posts
We’ve all seen those fake “I Can’t Believe He’s Gone” posts on Facebook. You didn’t click on them, did you? I hope not.
But I couldn’t figure out what they were up to. This post (archive.org) on KnowBe4 explains it.
These posts never have the name of the deceased person in them. They have a link that you need to click on to find out who is deceased. DON’T!
If you click on it, you are taken to a page that asks you to login with your Facebook credentials.
It goes downhill from there.
There are more details on Bleeping Computer (archive.org).
