Social Media Scams Impacting Businesses and Individuals Today

John Wilson of Fortra’s Agari breaks down common social media scams, their impact on businesses, and how to protect yourself against them. Social media has become the proverbial double-edged sword, equal parts meaningful connection, and highly convincing fraud. The challenge is that it’s sometimes hard to spot the difference. Threat actors use social media to target companies and individuals alike with the goal of stealing information they can monetize or hocking lookalike goods. As a Senior Fellow for Threat Research, I work daily with those targeted by these criminals to take down their scams. According to research from Fortra’s PhishLabs, attacks on businesses were nearly 19 percent more common in Q4 of 2022 than in the same quarter of 2021. Companies faced an average of 73 attacks per month on their social channels. On the consumer side, the Federal Trade Commission found that in 2022, end-users lost $1.2 billion as a result of scams originating on social media. Fraudsters worldwide are flocking to these platforms as an attractive attack vector. It’s easy to see why: they offer the ability to reach a mass audience quickly and at a very low cost. Here, we’ll highlight the most common scams and how to protect yourself, your organization, and your data.

Compounding the challenge are the blurred lines between builders, operators, and defenders, who all have a hand in building and deploying software securely. Software’s security stakeholders have exploded beyond the core developer in the rapid-release world of agile, DevOps, and CI/CD. Cross-functional skills are more critical than ever; however, long-established training methods aren’t keeping up with emerging technologies, methodologies, and roles.
