Threat Actors Exploit Social Media for Diverse Cyber Attacks
Threat actors are increasingly using social media to attack brands, VIPs, and customers. The anonymous nature and extensive reach of social media invite a broad spectrum of bad actors, exposing enterprises to substantial risk.
More than half of the world’s population actively engages in social media. Scammers target this audience with a broad array of threats, including social media impersonation schemes, defamation, physical violence, and counterfeit ads. As a result, businesses face costly cleanups, fraud losses, and brand damage.
