Hackers went after high-profile social media accounts belonging to celebrities and famous brands. They tricked them into clicking zero-click exploit sent through private messages, to take control of the accounts.
Kaspersky has some useful tips if you feel someone is attacking your social media account:
Use strong and unique passwords. The weakest link is often the entry point to the platform, which is the password. This should be unique and not one that you re-use on multiple social media platforms. If you struggle to come up with a unique password, consider using a password manager to generate a unique and strong password.
Two-factor authentication. While many people choose to use SMS or email as the source of the second verification, Kaspersky recommend using an authenticator app.
Avoid people you do not know. People you do not know, do not click to read the direct message. There is no reason for you to assume that you should click on any link sent from people you do not know. It may be a goal to chase the influencer wagon and make fast cash, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
