There is an increasing concern regarding hackers gaining access to the Facebook accounts of businesses and individuals who advertise on the platform.

Robert Sivertsen, the director of Brúsá, highlights the risks involved. He explains that if cybercriminals gain entry to these Facebook pages, they can also access the advertising accounts, potentially leading to significant financial losses for companies.

Sivertsen cites cases where organizations have reported losses exceeding 100,000 Danish kroner due to hackers taking control of their advertising accounts, illustrating the serious challenges that businesses face in protecting their online presence.

The issue underscores the necessity for stronger cybersecurity measures to safeguard against unauthorized access, particularly for those companies reliant on digital platforms for marketing.
