- BitDefender -Sece for creators is now monitoring Instagram, Facebook and YouTube for unauthorized account changes or mass -deletions
- Over 184 million Login -Legitimation Information is postponed, many tied to the Creator in Social Media Accounts
- Economic losses from online fraud have crossed $ 1 trillion where creators have become main target
Influencers and digital creative are increasingly targeting phishing fraud and hijacking of account, and Bitdefender has revealed a new platform to tackle this threat.
The company says it is expanding its reach to the online creator economy with new updates to its security for Creators Suite, which now offers coverage for Facebook and Instagram.
Bitdefender claims that its new product gives creators a more focused and proactive form of protection that covers not only their content accounts but also their devices.
Rising threats underlining the need for creator-focused security
Online fraud and identification agencies allegedly accelerate, with Bitdefender claiming over 184 million sets of login credentials were recently found postponed online, many attached to Instagram and Facebook.
At the same time, scam -driven economic losses have peaked $ 1 trillion globally according to the recent data.
“Online creators are increasingly targeting cyber criminals who weapons confidence to take over accounts and fraud supporters of money or to download malware,” said Ciprian Istrate, Senior Vice President of Operations, Consumer Solutions Group at BitDefender.
“BitDefender Security for Creators offers the first end-to-end service to help protect creators accounts, content and devices across Facebook, Instagram and YouTube that deliver continuous, always-on-security when online threats evolve.”
The continuous monitoring function across the various social media platforms looks after signs of unauthorized activity, such as mass joint detention of content or unapproved changes to profile settings.
Bitdefender says these signs can point to possible account takeover and that warnings are sent immediately if deviations are recorded.
Creators are also offered the opportunity to manage their account security, malware scans and threat alarms from a total control panel.
Regular antivirus scans mostly protect the device, and this all-in-one design can appeal to the influence that juggles with multiple platforms.
From a single dashboard, users can track device scans across different operating systems with support for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS.
BitDefender attaches particular importance to its AI-based anti-phishing features and claim that they can detect fraud disguised as partnership requests, and even see phishing content generated using large language models.
The company also introduces support for collaborative protection that allows creators to extend the coverage to team members such as editors or social media managers.
In the event of a compromise, users cause a recovery playbook to restore account access and manage communication with their audience.
For Bitdefender, the expansion reflects an attempt to capture a market it describes as underrated.
But whether digital creators will adopt a dedicated service instead of existing Android Antivirus apps or wider tools for managing social media remain the big question.
