Abstract |
The advent of social media has revolutionized the speed of communication between millions of people around the world in various cultures and disciplines. Social media is the best platform for exchanging opinions and ideas, interacting with other users of similar interests and sharing different types of media and files. With the phenomenal increase in the use of social media platforms, the need to pay attention to protection and security from attacks and misuse has also increased. The present study conducts a comprehensive survey of the latest and most important research studies published from 2018-20 on security and privacy on social media and types of threats and attacks that affect the users. We have also reviewed the recent challenges that affect security features in social media. Furthermore, this research pursuit also presents effective and feasible solutions that address these threats and attacks and cites recommendations to increase security and privacy for the users of social media. |
