| چکیده مقاله: |
| This article examines the vulnerability of social media accounts against cyber attacks. With the increasing number of users on these platforms and the accumulation of sensitive information in user accounts, the security of these networks is facing cyber threats. The article analyzes phishing attacks and brute- force attacks as penetration methods and investigates the weaknesses of social media networks against these attacks. Additionally, social engineering, as a deception-based and psychological attack on individuals within social networks, is analyzed. Through a questionnaire, users' attitudes and behaviors regarding security measures are evaluated. The results indicate that some users use strong passwords but do not change them regularly, and users' awareness of security practices is inadequate. The security of social media accounts is of utmost importance, and this article emphasizes that increasing users' and administrators' awareness of cyber threats and countermeasures is crucial to strengthening the security of these platforms. The information presented in this article can contribute to enhancing the security of accounts and protecting users' personal information against cyber attacks. |
