PROTECTING YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS

The Internet has made our lives easier in so many ways. However, you need to know how you can protect your privacy and avoid fraud. With all of the personally identifiable information we share on social sites – Hackers have only become more adept at locating that information and using it to gain access to our accounts.

What’s worse, if you’re on social media while at work and connected to the corporate network and your account gets hacked, you’ve now made your entire company vulnerable.

Social media represents the largest modern threat vector – it has more connectivity (billions of people), it’s more trusted (everyone is your friend) and its less visibility (simply by its nature) than any other communication or business platform.
