Facebook Granted Spammers Control Over The Pages For 'Christianity' And 'Islam'
Stolen JK Rowling Facebook page with more than 1 million fans, and a Bella Thorne profile photo
But the page doesn't belong to Bella Thorne, or JK Rowling. Instead, it's the work of a spammer who essentially hijacked a Facebook page to harvest advertising dollars. The existence of this scam, and its ability to steal pages with millions of fans without being detected by Facebook for weeks, shows how the world’s biggest social network continues to be exploited by bad actors. In this case, they were able to steal pages that had been auto-generated by Facebook itself without the company realizing it.
The new owners of stolen interest pages can then use them to reshare content to generate additional engagement, or promote links to sites in order to drive traffic and earn ad revenue.
