The area of cybersecurity has gained strength in recent years due to the progressive increase in the population and devices that have access to the internet, subscribed to it strategies that criminals apply to breach security, stealing, kidnapping or damaging the information that lies in them, has mutated from generation to generation becoming a problem that transcends time. Social networks are also a window that cybercriminals use to access the information, since the aim of these is to show people in a digital showcase and allow them to communicate with any user of the same social network regardless of gender, age or geographical location. This is a cause for concern as the most frequent users of social networks are teenagers and they, being in a life learning stage, may be unaware of cybersecurity techniques to ensure that their information is protected. For this reason, this document aims to explain by reviewing literature, the types of cyber-attacks that can be run through social media to suggest an educational strategy that will illustrate young people about cyber-attacks so that they can protect themselves.
