THE RISE OF CYBER THREATS ON SOCIAL MEDIA

SOCIAL MEDIA ADDICTION

HOW?

1.Oversharing Personal Data: Addicted users frequently share

excessive personal information, creating a wealth of data for

cybercriminals to exploit for social engineering, phishing, and

identity theft.

2.Reduced Vigilance & Impulsivity: Constant engagement can

lead to clicking suspicious links, neglecting security practices

(e.g., weak passwords, no 2FA), and diminished judgment,

making users vulnerable to malware and account

compromises.
