Phishing Attack in Social Media ( Conclusion)

 In conclusion, Social media attacks usually are not discussed as original attack. Therefore, the lack of awareness will probably cause reinforcement in social media attacks. Hence, identify the motives of phishing could decrease the probability of phishing, as well as avoid the causative factors which are encouraging fraudsters concentrating on your accounts. Ideally, ‘if users were motivated to systematically process the information they receive, checking it for validity, there would presumably be less victims of phishing’ (Flowerday, V and Frauenstein, D,2016).
