Social networking platforms have become one of the most popular online activities, with billions of users worldwide sharing personal information, connecting with friends, and engaging with brands. However, this widespread popularity also makes social networks a prime target for cybercriminals.
Social networks are fertile ground for cybercriminals due to the vast amount of personal information shared by users, including names, addresses, phone numbers, and even credit card details. This wealth of data provides cybercriminals with valuable information for conducting various forms of online fraud.
