Everyone must be wiser when they post on social media to prevent identity theft. Firstly, most people don't know how to stay safe online. They either forget or don't know about social engineering and identity theft. Most cybercriminals target unassuming victims who innocently believe that data security is only about a password. The victims will continue to post on social media and engage with scammers and other cybercriminals. There is a critical need for public education on cyber security, especially in the social media realm.

Secondly, the case of catfishing is a prime example of identity theft. And most victims do not realize they are talking with a fake person. They use a real person's photograph and identity details to scam others. Catfishing is a criminal act. And it's possible when people are not careful with their data..

Finally, everyone needs to understand that data is the new currency. A hacker can obtain data by only sharing the same Wi-Fi network. The huge demand for data worldwide means more cases of identity theft. While catfishing may sound like a harmless version of identity theft, there is a larger crime ring that uses stolen identities for bank loans and credit card bills. Millions of people may lose their money instantly.

While we can't control everyone, we can set personal limitations on what to share on social media. Knowing the distinction between what is personal and what can be in the public domain is crucial to keeping things private.

Another security measure is to limit social media interaction to only friends and family. We can also take the necessary security measures by being cautious when online and having a strong password that is regularly changed.
