Well... where I work, we have people whose job it is to locate persons. One of the sources they use is Facebook. For whatever reason, a lot of less than intelligent crooks will try to send us false contact data but then post all about themselves on social media. :)
But I was thinking of places like hospitals and medical centers. In
October last year a large medical center with offices all over the province/country was struck with a security breach. Then, a month later
it was announced that is was ransomware. This was clearly activated by clicking on a false link.

OK.. I see the relevance for collection agencies especially when needing
to locate persons. But even then, it would be wise to isolate work terminals for internet searches from the internal network used for accessing company accounts.

One reason why I do not use social sites because they seem
to be getting hacked. Take a look this https://www.bbc.com/ news/technology-51424352#:~: text=Facebook%27s%20social%20m
Twiter got hacked.
To bad they do not have a methode to check the site to see
if it's a security risk and block it before the user
connects to it. Where I work they have security software
that does it.
