Researchers have uncovered a scam campaign that uses Facebook groups promoting social activities for seniors to trick victims into installing Android malware on their devices. The scheme first surfaced in Australia in August, when users reported suspicious groups advertising dance events, day trips and community gatherings for older people. Researchers at Dutch cybersecurity firm ThreatFabric later identified dozens of similar groups across Facebook, many relying on AI-generated content to lure victims into downloading malicious apps. “By focusing on seniors, fraudsters exploit trust and community-oriented activities to lure victims into installing malware,” the report said. Researchers also noted earlier campaigns targeting Chinese-speaking users, indicating Datzbro may have been deployed domestically before spreading globally.
