Technology is one of \u00a0many factors leading to a company’s success story.
\nIt fills the gaps of networking, allows companies to be researched, keeps your company up-to-date for potential clients, and creates opportunity to make every workday a productive one. As diverse (and complicated) as technology can be, Social Media and Email Marketing seem to be the middle ground.<\/p>\n
Social media profiles look like\u00a0a more\u00a0simplistic way to market. Surprisingly, social media is one of the first routes web hackers are prone to take advantage of. Vice President and General Manager of Social Media Security and Compliance with Proofpoint stated, “And you better believe that hackers are also taking advantage of the public perception of a company as presented on social media.” In simpler terms, attackers keep tabs on both positive and negative company feedback, and can pin-point the company decision makers from doing so.<\/p>\n

Then and there, a hacker got all information because of a simple name-drop.<\/p>\n
