Social network begins to suffer with cybercrime
The company assures that the massification of each new technology or platform leads the creators of malware to have it as an emerging focus of attack, and that is why the trend begins to be noticed with Twitter, since during June false profiles of the social network appeared that seek to obtain the entry data of real users and spread malicious links through the network.
Eset claimed that some of the deception methodologies on that social network are as follows: the creation of accounts by malicious users who then add random contacts to send their messages. The theft of personal information from user profiles to send messages to their followers posing as the legitimate contact. The use of application vulnerabilities to put illegitimate messages on real users.
