Scammers are relentless. Phishing emails fill out inboxes, text messages with suspicious links are becoming more popular, and even using LinkedIn to grow a professional network is becoming more of a risk.

With over 1 billion registered users, LinkedIn is one of the companies that we see at our cybersecurity firm in Miami being targeted by hackers more often.

Social media’s 4.48 billion people love to connect with their friends and family online. If you have Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, VK, X or one of the many other social media platform accounts, you’ll always be at risk of the account being hacked.

Any account you have online can be the focus of an attack, but without a phone number to call, it can be tricky to regain access to your social account.

How many social media accounts do you log into every day? If you’re like most people, you probably log into at least one. 

Think about how much personal information is stored on these accounts. Sure, your password helps keep your information out of the wrong hands, but even passwords are vulnerable to cyberattacks.

Social media is all around us and is an integral part of the society that we live in. We see people from all walks of life spending time on social media, and one platform has become increasingly popular this year: TikTok.

In September 2021, the platform had over 1 billion monthly active users, and it is still growing.

It seems like every week, there is a story about a celebrity, politician, or news source that has posted something crazy on one of their social media accounts and then claimed that it was not them who put it on there but someone who had hacked their account.

A few years ago, then President Donald Trump told Americans to be careful about using the social media platform TikTok, explaining that this posed a serious security risk to the individual. The media widely ignored that, but more are starting to speak out and express their concern about the social media giant.

Social media networks can be used by healthcare organizations to advertise their services as well as communicate with patients and get them more involved in their own healthcare. However, there’s always a risk that Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) rules and patient privacy will be violated on social media networks.

Millions of people use social media every day to stay connected with friends, family, colleagues, customers, and more. However, many don’t realize that they are also putting their personal data at risk by not taking the proper precautions to safeguard their accounts.

Social engineering is a term that is used in the cybersecurity world, but many individuals and businesses don’t know what this term refers to.
What is Social Engineering?
Social engineering is an attack that a hacker will use to try and gain sensitive data from you or employees of a business.

Grabbing people’s attention and converting them to prospective customers is the hallmark of a great professional website. To achieve this goal, you need to create a professional-looking and user-friendly site that encourages visitors to sign up for eBooks, consultations, and other services.
