Don’t get hacked by social media phishing attacks! Find out which of your users are vulnerable now!
Social media phishing is one of the fastest-growing attack methods, and attackers increasingly rely on social media phishing tools to target employees on platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, and X (Twitter).
The bad actors use these platforms to scrape profile information of your users and organization to create targeted spear phishing campaigns in an attempt to hijack accounts, damage your organization's reputation, or gain access to your network.

KnowBe4’s new Social Media Phishing Test (SPT) is a complimentary IT security tool that helps you identify which users in your organization are vulnerable to these types of phishing attacks that could put your users and organization at risk. Unlike traditional email phishing tests, social media phishing tests focus on how users respond to messages and login prompts that originate outside the inbox.
Social Media Phishing Test will give you quick insights into how many users will fall victim so you can take action to train your users and better protect your organization from these social media phishing attacks!
Here's how the Social Media Phishing Test works:
- Launch your test using one of three realistic social media phishing templates
- Choose the landing page users see after clicking, including awareness feedback or a simulated login page
- Show users which social engineering red flags they missed
- Receive a PDF report within 24 hours detailing click rates and data entry
- Identify which users are most vulnerable to social media–based phishing attacks
Find out how many of your users are vulnerable to social media related phishing attacks now!
Note: SPT only tracks whether the user clicked on a link or attempted to enter data. SPT does not collect data and will never save any data entered on landing pages.
