In response to hybrid threats and the systematic misuse of hyperlinks by malicious actors, we have implemented a strict no URL policy for social media communications.
Malicious actors frequently copy legitimate social media posts and republish them with the original links replaced by attacker controlled URLs. Because the text, branding, and timing closely mirror the original message, the altered post appears to originate from a trusted source. Attackers often use fake profiles posing as colleagues or senior executives, which further reinforces credibility. In such cases, the link is perceived as trustworthy. This exploitation of trust significantly increases the likelihood of successful compromise.
