Keywords:
Phishing, Social Media, Information Security, Digital YouthAbstract
Phishing through social media has become one of the growing cyber threats, especially for digital teenagers who are highly exposed to online media. This study aims to identify trends, techniques, and the impact of phishing attacks via social media on teenagers' information security. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA guidelines. Data was collected from various scientific databases such as IEEE Xplore, SINTA, Researchget, and Google Scholar using strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. The analysis results indicate that social engineering techniques are the most dominant method in social media phishing. The main impacts identified include credential theft, personal data breaches, and a decline in digital trust. This study provides insights for policymakers and cybersecurity practitioners in designing prevention strategies based on education and technology.
