3.8 billion people use Social Media worldwide. Translation: A huge cyber hunting ground for online fraudsters of all kinds.

Companies, non-profits and government agencies are all targets of social media scammers. These cyber-predators impersonate legitimate Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts to trick users into giving up their personal information or even unknowingly sending money to the bad guys. Other social media attacks include brand theft, identity fraud and account sabotage.

Fortunately, these and other scams have been around long enough for the good guys to figure out how organizations and individuals can protect themselves from them. Learn how to identify social media scams before it's too late….and how to train employees in how to avoid putting organizations at risk of these costly attacks.
