hi I'm Joe your AI generated newscaster
with bad news for all Facebook users you
are being targeted online criminals have
flooded the platform with phishing links
on clickbait posts they would lead
unsuspecting users to external websites
and then thoroughly scan them out of
hundreds of dollars with fake browser
alerts what's so special about this case
is that threat actors have abused Google
Cloud run to generate new malicious
links every few minutes making it much
harder to stop their activity Google
Cloud run is a managed computer platform
that allows developers to ignore a need
for a server and focus on code instead
threat actors likely didn't even have to
pay to use it Cloud run offers
first-time customers 300 in free credits
and 2 million requests per month more
than enough to create a load of
malicious phishing links clicking on one
of those links without a VPN would lead
you to a fake Microsoft alert screen
using a 302 redirect for seamless
website transition this page will notify
you about a threat and urge to contact a
customer support center obviously
through a fake phone number where a
support agent will scam you out of your
money now you are prepared and thus
protected to keep yourself up to date
