➡️ The Impact of Social Media and Entertainment Software Hacks
What’s the harm in social media and entertainment software cyberattacks? Quite a bit. Criminals can use cybercrime exploits or social media campaigns to:
  • Spread misinformation. This high-impact result of cybercrime shows why preventing social media cybercrime is more important than ever. Cyberattackers can use social account information to target you for organized misinformation campaigns, which can have personal, financial, or political consequences.
  • Cyberattackers are creative. They can scam or rob you for money or gaming tokens. By combining personal information gathered from your social media accounts, they’ll ply you with opportunities to support Ukrainian orphans or pandemic-burdened single parents.
  • Steal your money. Not only do you lose funds, but it often occurs without your knowing that anything happened. Fraud and scams can also include outright theft enabled by lax security of bank and credit card accounts.
  • Steal your identity. After breaching your personal account information, attackers will go on a spending spree or commit crimes in your name.
