Introduction
Fake social media profiles, also known as "Sockpuppet" accounts, are fake or misleading accounts that are created on social media platforms. These profiles are often used to impersonate real individuals, organizations or companies.
They can be used for a variety of purposes, such as to spread misinformation, influence public opinion, or to conduct phishing and other cybercrimes.
Fake social media profiles can be created by individuals, organizations, or even governments. They can be difficult to detect, as they may be created using real personal information and photographs.
