Social media’s history precedes the 21th century and ever since then malevolent people have attempted to infiltrate the computers of innocent people using these media in hope of
- Obtaining sensitive information such as bank details and personal information,
- Using the machine as a bridge in major cyber-attacks
- Impersonating you and using your account for their own ends,
- Installing some form of adware on your computer and bombarding your machine with endless pop-up ads, spreading spam through your computer for material gains, deceiving you to fill out a survey or by any other means try to acquire financial resources and transmitting the virus to more people via your machine with the hope of multiplying their material gains,
- Retaliating, gaining fame or proving that they can infiltrate someone’s machine or/and spreading the virus to a lot of people for the same reasons.
