41 Closing Social media has become an important part of our daily lives, but the more we use it, the more likely it is that we will be hacked. To avoid these threats, people should be careful when clicking on links or downloading attachments from sources they do not know. They should also use strong passwords and turn on two-factor authentication, be aware of their privacy settings, and think about what they post. In addition, organisations should also take steps to protect themselves from cybersecurity threats on social media by implementing security measures, providing cybersecurity training for employees, and monitoring social media activity for suspicious activity.
