I did a little research on social media phishing. It was interesting to read about the different types of phishing, how they work, and what they are meant to steal from you(personal info, passwords, access etc).
EXAMPLES:
click on this link too..
avoid financial loss
for a special offer
the links take us to a website that requests for confidential details/or cause a device to be infecter malware
asks you to make a phone call (asking for confidential details/ premium rate, costs a lot of $ for the call)
impersonation
pretending to be someone else to damage "that person's" reputations (ex.pretending to be a celebrity to ruin his/her reputation)
propagating attacks
trick the users into logging into fake landing pages to steal info
data dumps
stolen data from the database
data gathering
they can collect data from YOU(from the SNS posts that you posted) to reset passwords or to get access
HOW IT WORKS
VOCAB
malware= software that is designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to a computer system
