Chewae et al. (2015) observe that the popularity of social network platforms and the ballooning number of users have focused attention on privacy as an important issue online. The internet space is open for individuals and businesses, but malicious entities also have taken advantage of the digital setting to perpetrate crimes like identity theft.

However, observers consider the inadequacy of the privacy and security controls by social media sites a significant contributor to the exposure of individuals to identity theft.
