Summary/Abstract: Social Media fundamentally changed the way we communicate, relate and gather our information. The benefits of these technology innovations can be overshadowed by the multitude of threats and risks that social media platforms generate at both individual and governmental levels. Social engineering threats have been refined and have reached a new level by exploiting these online resources. The objective of the present article is to present and raise awareness for a topic that lacks of debate in the Romanian public space, especially considering that one of the effective solutions in combating this type of threats can come from informing Social Media users regarding the risks and educating them in order to secure the use of the tools delivered via Internet.
