Social media has become an important part of everyday life, allowing people to communicate, share information, and connect globally. Along with its advantages, it has also created new opportunities for cybercriminals to exploit users through various online threats. Social media platforms are increasingly being used for cyberattacks, making cybersecurity a major concern for individuals, organizations, and governments.This paper focuses on different cybersecurity threats found on social media platforms, including phishing attacks, identity theft, malware attacks, social engineering, and data privacy issues. The research is based on the review of existing literature related to cybersecurity risks and social media security. Platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are considered highly vulnerable because they store large amounts of personal information and involve continuous user interaction. These platforms are widely used for communication and information sharing, but they can also be misused for spreading misinformation, conducting cyberattacks, and stealing sensitive data.The paper highlights important cybersecurity concerns associated with social media and discusses practical preventive measures that can help users protect their personal information and maintain online safety.
