It is interesting to note that certain false reports keep making the rounds. Like those of Fabrizio Brambilla!
Fabrizio Brambilla? No, that Fabrizio is not a hacker who can hack your account. His name now joins the ranks of the “hackers” named Christoph and Jessica Davies , Peter Enis , Marcel Hohmann , Ute Christoff and Paolo Tizzanini . All names that appeared in these or similar “warnings about hackers”, but whose namesakes are probably happy when they are finally no longer referred to as “Facebook profile hackers”.

This is the repeated message that is making the rounds on Facebook and also on WhatsApp. From the screen you can see that this post only made the rounds a few days ago, on October 26th, 2019:

“IMPORTANT Please tell all contacts in your Messenger list not to accept anything from Fabrizio Brambilla. He has a photo with a dog. He is a hacker and has connected the system to your messenger account. If one of your contacts accepts it, you will also be hacked, so make sure all of your friends know. Thank you . Please forward”
The fact check
Two things stand out clearly in the “Fabrizio Brambilla” description. On the one hand, the information that a danger is spreading via the messenger, and on the other hand, that you are being “hacked” through it. If you now reduce this warning to these two core elements, you will notice a strong similarity to the feeling of concern with the so-called “YouTube virus”. Those affected always believe that they have been attacked by a hacker via messenger.
It is therefore a chain letter that may have arisen from a wide variety of observations. Nobody can prove anything anymore, you can only make assumptions.
Our tip: In general, you should not accept friend requests from strangers without checking them. Ignore such texts and do not forward them!
