Why are social networking sites particularly susceptible to CSRF attacks?
Social networking sites are particularly susceptible to CSRF attacks due to their inherent nature of promoting user interactivity and sharing. These platforms often contain personal data, making them attractive targets for attackers. The high volume of requests and interactions on these sites can make it difficult to distinguish between legitimate and malicious requests. Additionally, users tend to stay logged in for extended periods, increasing the window of opportunity for an attack. Furthermore, if a site doesn’t implement anti-CSRF tokens or similar security measures, it becomes even more vulnerable.
