[QUOTE="ChemicalB, post: 778089, member: 74974"] No idea but I feel strange a piece of malware or an attacker warn you with a message as: "attack in progress, I'm stealing your data. ..." Normally, an attack is made in background so that the victim is not aware of that. BTW everything is possible, have you recently installed some new apps? There are malware that steal data from FB but in this case Eset would have detected it. However, you can start a scan with Malwarebytes and Kaspersky for Android and see if they detect something. Is your problem isolated just to that phone? Can you try to enter FB using another device and see what happens? Some malware can be rooted so deeply that not even a hard reset can delete them, but they are not so common. In this case it is almost impossible to fix the problem. Again, it is also possible an attack based on your FB account and in this case you could try changing the login password by using a clean device, your PC, for example. Just my opinion, you can wait for other members comments. [/QUOTE]
