"Shock! Itai Levy canceled the wedding with Hadar Hayon because of a leaked sex video": In the last day there is a campaign to distribute Pike News, and a misrepresentation with me Levy canceled the wedding because of a leaked video. The page that published the false news is a Facebook page that pretends to "Mako" and calls itself "Makoo", and along with the couple's photo, there is a link that links to the website. In recent months, similar campaigns have been posted such as the announcement of singer Ronnie Dalumi's death, and nude photos of singer Nasrin Kadri. A study we conducted with Ido Naor, a research manager at Kaspersky, shows that the current announcement also belongs to the Yemeni hackers group.

"According to our indicators, this is a widespread disinformation campaign aimed at generating economic profit. The campaign has its roots in click-fishing attempts since 2016, and it appears to be associated with a group that originated in Yemen," says Naor. "Kaspersky intelligence has identified dozens of similar sites that also have similar news content as they impersonate news sites from the Arab world and the Gulf. Despite spelling errors, the links to the articles appear to be viral, indicating low awareness among attackers' target audience. Much resemblance to global disinformation attacks that actually originated in Iran, in most cases. " Currently, the Facebook page appears to have been removed, after reporting the page as an impostor.

What to do if I click the link?

Almost all the times when "naked pictures" are circulated on Facebook, these are attempts to redirect a suspicious site that will infect your Facebook account, or attempt to make money from advertisements. Facebook has added to official news sites "Blue Way", indicating that the page has been verified and is a real news body. Move the mouse cursor over the page and check if it has a blue vi, if so, this is an official page that will probably not distribute links that endanger the computer. Never submit your Facebook information outside of the official site or app.
