Meta pulls India-based ads using porn to bait users into banking fraud

Meta has taken down a series of Facebook and Instagram advertisements following a warning from Indian authorities. The government alerted the company that sexually explicit content was being utilized to trick users into installing malware designed to compromise their bank accounts. Officials noted that promotions for services like "Night Play" and "Kyss" were leading people to phishing sites. Following an inquiry from Reuters, Meta confirmed the removal of 39 of these advertisements.
