Meta blocks malicious bank ads in India

Meta has removed dozens of malicious ads on Facebook and Instagram in India, which used explicit sexual content to lure users to malicious apps, threatening the theft of banking data and draining accounts. The Indian government revealed that these advertisements caused estimated financial losses of around $2.4 billion in 2025 due to increasing cyber fraud, particularly through malicious Android apps disguised as pornographic content. After being notified, Meta deleted all questionable ads that used images from porn videos to attract victims. The company affirms that its policies prohibit sexual content and misleading advertising, although some ads continued to appear even after warnings. Indian authorities warned that such malicious apps could potentially steal passwords and bank account numbers, and facilitate illegal money transfers.
