Social media and instant messaging software have become essential tools for our daily social interaction and communication. Therefore it is important to protect the user accounts of relevant software. In many cases, users have not changed or strengthened the security settings of the account after first registering the account and pose a significant security risk of identity theft. With insufficient security measure, hackers may take control of the vulnerable account easily by using password attacks, which leads to personal information leakage or account identity being stolen for other social engineering attacks.
