Brad Pitt committed suicide! Following the impending divorce from Angelina Jolie, an article that looks like it was published by Fox News began circulating on Facebook with the extremely clickable title “RIP Brad Pitt.”
No, Brad Pitt is not dead. The post is just a malicious hoax created to deceive vulnerable users.
The goal of the hoax is to collect email addresses, passwords, and other personal information.
If you click on the title it will redirect you to an application filled with malware.
A Facebook login page appears, which after logging in and obtaining the user's password, begins scanning their profile and devices for personal information that they relay to the hacker.
If you've already been a victim of fraud, change your social network password immediately. If you use the same login credentials on multiple different services, you should change them everywhere.
Facebook also recommends running an up-to-date antivirus to determine if your device has been compromised.
Or use Facebook's malware scanner
