Secret Facebook Army

July 29, 2021 by Diane Greig

There is a secret Iranian army on Facebook to surveil, steal and undermine U.S., European, and U.K. interests and products across all the major industrial sectors including aerospace/defence and medicine.

Facebook announced last week that this Iranian unit of IT spies has taken months encouraging and developing relationships with specific individuals in targeted industries. They have posed as defence contractor employees, recruiters and/or attractive women maintaining authentic looking profiles which are consistent across various social media platforms.

A major target has been American military personnel. For more information on cybercrime and how it affects all of us, read my article on Cyberspace Manipulation.
