When it comes to social media, most people focus on engaging with family and friends. Others focus on how to increase sales, how to make more money, how to satisfy their customers. But have you sat down to think about what could happen if your account gets hacked by cybercriminals?

They could get their hands on confidential information about you that they could exploit. They could get their hands on your card details as most of us engage in online transactions. You know what happens next when they get their hands on it. But what can you do to prevent this from happening?

Do you use the same password for all your social media accounts? Well if you do, you need to start using different passwords for your social media accounts and also your email and any other confidential platforms you have.

Using different passwords helps to prevent your account from hackers. If one of your accounts is hacked then others will be hacked as well.

Another great way to protect your social media accounts is by using two-factor authentication. Two-factor authentication will require you to enter not just your login credentials, but also a unique code that will be sent to your phone. This makes it impossible for hackers to gain access to your accounts. If you are just hearing about two factor authentication for the first time and you are unable to set it up just type interested in the comment section and I’ll be happy to help you out.
