    An image of what is supposedly Fox News breaking reports that Brad Pitt is dead has been doing the rounds on Facebook, and if you happen to click on it, you could end up exposing your phone, computer or any other device to hackers.

    Yup, hackers are cleverly playing on people’s current interests, using Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s recent divorce announcement to lure people into giving away their personal information.

    Basically, here’s what the worst type of clickbait ever looks like:

    According to Snopes:

    The clickbait web site responsible for creating the above-quoted story has published several other celebrity death hoaxes. In recent weeks, this outlet has falsely claimed that Vin Diesel, Nicolas Cage, Jaden Smith, Jim Carrey, Sylvester Stallone and John Cena have passed away.

    If you are one of the unlucky ones that have already fallen for it, check your Facebook apps for any suspicious additions, change your password, and run a malware software scanner.

    In the future check other news sources (HERE) first if something as suspicious comes through, and make sure NEWORDER are on your side.

    And please, don’t be afraid to use Google before you freak out over some outlandish news story (HERE).

    Oh, and you should really PRESS CANCEL.

    Tsk tsk.
