The increase in social media hacking in the United Kingdom highlights concerns about cybersecurity

According to PANews, there has been a significant rise in social media hacking incidents in the United Kingdom, with cases increasing from 22,530 in 2023 to 35,434 in 2024. Hackers often take control of social media or email accounts, impersonate users, and trick their friends into providing security codes.

Blockchain researcher ZachXBT pointed out that the United Kingdom imposes relatively light penalties for cyber crimes. Even when scams are reported, perpetrators often face minimal consequences. Furthermore, law enforcement agencies are struggling with resource shortages when addressing these cases.$BTC $ETH $XRP
