We conducted a survey and found that 78% of social media users in Poland reported that they would consider their account being hacked to be a stressful incident. Despite this, only 30% of them currently use two-factor authentication, one of the most effective safeguards against hacking attempts.
When asked what would be the most impactful consequence of account compromise, 45% of Poles mentioned the possibility of fraud aimed at friends, 45% mentioned access to their private messages, and 43% mentioned potential reputation damage if a hacker posts or sends messages to friends.
