SARONNO – Beware of fake web TVs, promising direct local eventsthey try to “steal” users’ data: to warn is Saronno softball, which takes its cue from a campaign started by the softball federation but which also concerns local sports and events.
Campagna di phishing ongoing to the baseball and softball community. Some simple tricks to eliminate the problem: several users have reported to us that a phishing campaign is underway against the baseball and softball community by fake social profiles, especially Facebook and Instagram, which promote non-existent live streaming on fake platforms who pass themselves off as Fibstv.
Fraudulent attempts generally present themselves with comments on the pages and profiles of Facebook and Instagram users who are interested in our sports and, more often than not, invite you to subscribe to a fake webtv through the LinkTree web platform, which is not illegal. per se, but is used in this case illegally, with the purpose of collecting data from recipients, invited to register.
Recognizing fraud is quite simple: generally the posts invite you to watch live streams of matches that are not actually scheduled on www.fibstv.com, as can be easily verified through the articles on fibs.it and the posts on the official Facebook profiles and Fibs Instagram; the link to which most often, but not only, they direct is https://linktr.ee/Fibstv which has nothing to do with the real one www.fibstv.com; once the link is clicked, a form to register appears, entering your data (name, surname, email): the real Fibs webtv, www.fibstv.com is currently fully open and requires no registration.
We have reported the ongoing phishing campaign to the relevant security bodies and LinkTree.
However, it is advisable for each user to pay attention to stem the problem: the social profiles that invite to false direct are automatically generated by special software in large quantities and can be limited through the action of each recipient, who can use the functions reporting, cancellation and deletion of messages that are equipped with both Facebook and Instagram.
Even the live shows of Saronno Softball are always announced through our social channels and do not include links or registrations with data requests.
