We often think of social media as harmless. A place to network, promote, or share updates. But in the hands of a cybercriminal, your public posts can become tools for phishing, impersonation, or even a full-scale data breach.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗲 (𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝘀𝗲):
• Employee names, roles, and email patterns on LinkedIn
• Personal info like birthdays, pets, and locations on Facebook or Instagram
• Hints that help answer security questions or reset passwords
• Posts that expose confidential details about clients, systems, or travel plans

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀:
Cyber attackers use this data to build trust, impersonate executives, and launch highly convincing social engineering scams. One careless post could be all they need to get inside your organization.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗱𝗼:
• Train staff on oversharing risks and phishing awareness
• Limit what can be posted from corporate devices
• Use strong access controls and remote wipe for lost phones
• Monitor brand impersonation across platforms
• Implement mobile security solutions to protect data on the go
