Meta cracks down on Israeli marketing company running hundreds of fake Facebook accounts

Meta (formerly the Facebook company) has clamped down on an Israeli marketing firm running hundreds of fake Facebook accounts targeting America and Canada.

The company stated in its most recent report on coordinated inauthentic behavior that the scam posted about the Israel-Hamas conflict and targeted individuals in the US and Canada.

The total number of Facebook accounts, pages, Instagram accounts, and one group linked to the project was 510, including phony and previously compromised accounts, according to Meta’s researchers.
