Cisco said Friday that groups of cybercriminals continue to use Facebook Inc. as an open-air market to sell their services
Cisco Systems Inc.’s security research group Talos said Friday that groups of cybercriminals continue to use Facebook Inc. as an open-air market to sell their services.
“The majority of these groups use fairly obvious group names, including ‘Spam Professional,’ ‘Spammer & Hacker Professional,’ ‘Buy Cvv On THIS SHOP PAYMENT BY BTC...,’ and ‘Facebook hack .’” Cisco’s Talos said. “Despite the fairly obvious names, some of these groups have managed to remain on Facebook for up to eight years, and in the process acquire tens of thousands of group members.”
Talos said it had tried to get the groups taken down through Facebook’s abuse reporting system, but those efforts have appeared to resembled a whack-a-mole game. Facebook said Cisco flagged the groups in batches: 41 in February over reporting tools with an email followup, with an additional 25 groups in late March, followed by a third set of eight over the past week.
