how to avoid getting hacked on social media
“The hacking of social media accounts is at an all-time high. Recent reports have shared that social media account hacking has gone up from 13% to 28% in 2021.” - Dee Boswell-Buck
When it comes to our social media accounts, sometimes we are our own biggest weakness.

A recent report has found that social media account hacking has increased by 15% in just the
past two years — and a lot of this hacking can be traced back to social media users’ own risky
behaviours. As social media users share more and more details about their everyday lives
online, it becomes much easier for hackers to attempt to take over your profile.

Being aware of your social media interactions and digital surroundings is more important than
ever before... especially if you use social media to promote your business.

Luckily, you can reduce the chances of your online accounts being breached by making
some simple changes to your online behaviours. With 5 easy-to-follow steps, you can ensure
that you are adding an extra layer of protection and safety to your social media accounts,
whether personal or professional.

In this week’s episode, you’ll learn how to spot red flags online, simple steps that you can take
to dramatically increase your online security, and the importance of awareness around social
media sharing and messaging.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
  • The high-risk online behaviours that can increase your chances of being hacked
