Scammers are using fake copyright notices to obtain login credentials from Instagram users, cybersecurity firm Kaspersky reveals. The recipients are told that their account will be suspended for copyright infringement within 24 hours. They can, however, ”verify” their account if they believe it’s a mistake.
There is no denying that many people spend several hours per day on their social media accounts.
Those who gain enough status on sites such as Instagram can even make a living out of it.
When this livelihood is threatened, panic and fear can ensue. This is something scammers are well aware of and some are gladly exploiting it for their benefit.
