CSIRT Gnd Alert – Increased Phishing Attacks on Social Media Profiles and Pages

January 16, 2024 – The Grenada National Cyber Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT Gnd) is concerned about the increase in phishing attacks leveled against WhatsApp and Facebook social media accounts and pages belonging to Grenadians. In addition to the old phishing tricks, we are now seeing more malicious sponsored posts and an increase in fake lookalike profiles specifically designed for our people. We are also deeply troubled by the number of reported cases of compromised accounts resulting from users falling victim to these attacks.
