I’m specifically referring to things like the ads for cheap sunglasses that I’ve been seeing for what seems like over a decade now and the more recent “look who died in an accident” video links that three of my elderly aunts have had on their accounts in the last year. Who is “hacking” these accounts and what are they gaining from it?

Getting phished is one thing, but when people say “hacked” on Facebook, it’s often just a fake new account that copied the victim’s profile pic. Their social connections suddenly get a new friend request from their existing Facebook friend, and if they accept, they might have their “friend” try to get money out of them.
