Friend Jacking: "The Social Media Deception" # Cybersecurity

Friend-Jacking: Manipulating Trust in Social Networks Social media platforms have become breeding grounds for social engineering attacks. Friend-Jacking is a technique where attackers exploit the trust between users by compromising or impersonating their friends or connections. By gaining control of a trusted account, attackers can send malicious links or messages that appear legitimate, increasing the likelihood of the victim falling prey to the attack. This technique preys on the inherent trust within social networks, making it imperative for users to exercise caution when interacting with messages or links from even their closest connections. hacking, social engineering, social engineering village, stop social puppeteering, online hacking, real hacking, social engineering techniques,
