New feature helps protect against social media account takeovers and cyberbullying
NortonLifeLock introduced a new feature to help keep customers’ social media accounts safer by monitoring them for account takeovers, risky activity and inappropriate content. Social Media Monitoring keeps a pulse on customers’ social media accounts, notifying them of suspected account compromise or potentially risky links in their account feed.
Additionally, Social Media Monitoring helps protect children against cyberbullying on their social media feeds, with notifications of content that may be sexually explicit, drug-related or violent, and hate speech.

Features include3:
- Support across many of the most popular social media sites including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube.
- Account takeover protection notifies customers if it suspects their account may have been compromised, including suspicious posts and changes to account settings.
- Protection against risky online activity notifies customers of potentially risky links including scam or hacking attempts, phishing attempts and malware links in their account feed.
