Protecting Your Business Social Media Accounts

Truscott Insurance Solutions
August 8, 2026
4 min read

Your business social media accounts are part of your brand and, increasingly, part of your cyber risk. A hijacked account can be used to scam your followers, post damaging content, or lock you out entirely.

How accounts get taken over

Most takeovers start with a phishing message aimed at whoever runs the account, or with a reused password exposed in another breach. Once inside, an attacker can change the recovery details and hold the account hostage.

How to protect them

  • Use MFA on every business account.
  • Use unique passwords, not ones shared with other logins.
  • Limit who has access and remove those who leave.
  • Be cautious with messages claiming account problems.

What Truscott recommends

Account security is one more reason to build good cyber habits across the business. Explore cyber insurance for Florida businesses or start a quote.
