Social Media and Identity Theft
00This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA00This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SASocial media and the internet have been some of the most pervasive technologies in our lives. We use them not only as a form of entertainment but also for almost every aspect of our lives, such as interacting with others, uploading new knowledge and information, and even communicating with the workplace. This made our identities more and more integrated with our social media accounts to the point that most people even use it to verify our 'realness' for various transactions that require our own signature and confirmation.
However, this pervasiveness also increases the risks of identity theft through information and data phishing. Using subtle and illicit methods, others can use our digital presence (particularly social media accounts) to serve as an alternative representation in scamming others or for any other evil deeds. In 2020 alone, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reported that identity theft complaints have increased from 3.3 million to 4.8 million in the United States alone, thereby accounting for a 113% increase in just a year CITATION Ins21 \l 1033 (Insurance Information Institute, 2021). Another set of reports provided by the FTC showed that the two largest targets of phishing and identity fraud include attacks on Federal stimulus payments and credit card accounts, respectively.
