Once profile information is stolen, it’s sold on the dark web for as little as £5.
And it’s not even super-sophisticated cyber criminals deploying this technique. Just about anyone can obtain your details and use them for phishing emails, scams, and other criminal activity.
Since 2018, 5 million people have had 26.6 million usernames and passwords stolen, giving access to accounts including Microsoft, Google, and Facebook.
All this means there are things you need to do – right now – to keep your profiles and your business protected from bot malware.
⦁ Update your antivirus software and keep it on at all times.
⦁ Use a password manager and Multi-Factor Authentication to keep your login credentials safer
⦁ And encrypt all your files so that, if anyone does access your profile, there’s very little to steal.
