Scammers are targeting your social network accounts with phishing emails that pretend to be copyright violations or promises of a shiny ‘blue checkmark’ next to your name.
With social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok becoming a significant component in people’s lives, attackers target them for malicious purposes.
These stolen accounts are then used for disinformation campaigns, cryptocurrency scams like the recent Twitter hacks, or sold on underground markets.
Due to this, social accounts should be treated as a valuable commodity and protected as such.
