Awareness of catfishing
It is important that parents are aware of the dangers that involves catfishing. Research has been conducted and has been found that most children will have communicated with someone online that they do not know.
What is catfishing?
Catfishing occurs when a cybercriminal creates a fake online profile to deceive victims into believing they know or are forming a connection with the individual. These perpetrators adopt a false identity and often go to great lengths to make their deception convincing, ensuring their target fully believes in their fabricated persona.
