{"success":true,"data":{"id":"fake-instagram-facebook-copyright-strike-account-phish","label":"Fake Instagram / Facebook copyright strike account phishing — DMCA/copyright infringement notice threatening account deletion unless credentials submitted to \"appeal\" + sender is never @instagram.com or @facebookmail.com + real Meta copyright actions happen in-app with no credential re-entry","description":"Credential phishing disguised as a copyright infringement strike from Instagram, Facebook, or Meta — the email claims the recipient's account or page has received a DMCA / copyright violation report and will be permanently deleted or disabled within 12-48 hours unless they submit an appeal by logging in. The link leads to a fake Meta login page. Key facts: (1) Check Point Research named Meta (Facebook + Instagram) the most impersonated brand in phishing worldwide for multiple quarters; (2) Real Instagram/Facebook copyright notices come exclusively from @instagram.com and @facebookmail.com domains — never from instagram-policy-team.com or similar lookalikes; (3) Real copyright appeals happen inside the Instagram or Facebook app (Profile > Settings > Help > Copyright Reporting) — there is no separate web portal requiring credential re-entry; (4) After credential theft, attackers sell or use the account for further social engineering, scam ads, or sextortion; (5) The Meta Platform Terms state that Meta will never ask for your password via email. Warning signs: non-official sender domain, 12-48 hour deletion threat, request to log in via an external link, \"DMCA counter-notice\" framing with credential requirement.","tier":"danger","category":"phishing","isThin":false}}
