Identity theft on Social Media

Radio Interview with 702 Talk Radio – Clement Manyathela Show

“Recent research reveals that identity theft affects millions of people a year, costing victims countless hours and money in identity recovery and repair. What causes this pattern of online theft and fraud?  

It’s a combination of factors: a lack of consumer knowledge regarding protecting your identity online; growing comfort with, and trust in, social platform providers; the need for social platforms to generate revenue; and a lack of standards or policing of these standards.

Although this issue is not yet in the mainstream consciousness, it likely will be sooner rather than later.” – Kent Lewis, Entrepreneurs’ Organisation

WASPA’s General Manager, Ilonka Badenhorst, chats with Clement Manyanthela from 702 Talk Radio to review this new threat and how consumers can protect themselves.
