Cyber criminals routinely impersonate companies and key personnel on social media. Motivations vary but can include social engineering attacks such as business email compromise or to redirect users to malicious sites carrying malware. However, there can also be malicious attempts to spread disinformation about a company or its brands. Customer service professionals and company handles are also in the cross hairs of cyber criminals.
