Securing Social Media Vulnerabilities Security alert in this new year, the more hackers are developing new tactics to attack us also is expected of us to be at alert and guarded upon every of the means they are trying to use, we need to be more security conscious with all our social media accounts, there's a need to be very mindful of our emails used and the phone number used as well in the registration process for those handles because hacker are now on the go for using the user's privacy information from their social media accounts to spy, monitor, track and phish on them, this call for the attention on the recent attack believed to be coming from twitter users targeted on over two millions users data leak and were related on a hacking platform after the security bridge for vulnerability attacks.
I have experienced different encounters whereby people got series of social media attacks through imposters, the take hostility of the victim's account to perpetrate their own crevices and begin to behave weirdly on the platform to devalue the victim's reputation and makes demands from their contacts, they also go through the extent of posting irrelevant things on their behalf, and the ugliest is once they have this full access to their emails and mobile number, they reset all their accounts and gain access to their wallets through the process of password reset.
Additional Tips to be Security Conscious1. Don't leave your email and phone number open to public access
2. Don't visit any unsolicited link, downloads or websites.
3. Verify every web address to be accurately typed before launch and observe the security signs
4. Don't backup your password or private keys on google drive, icloud or any online storage
5. don't sell any of your old devices used in handling your wallets to any body and dont repair them if damaged but instead destroy them and get another one if possible, they may spy your details during maintenance and attack.
