Handing over official social media accounts to regular employees? If you think about it, it's actually pretty scary.
An employee earning a monthly salary of 20,000 could be holding the keys to an account that brings in a million USD a day. Can you imagine how tempting that is? Even hackers target celebrities and major organizations' Twitter accounts, and just by dropping a CA address, they can rake in millions of dollars.
What if an employee gets tempted? They don't need to do something bad every day—if they pick just one day out of 365 to pull something off, that's enough to live off for ten years. This kind of risk exposure is even more deadly than technical vulnerabilities—because human nature is always the hardest thing to guard against.
Many project teams may not realize that the biggest security risk isn't necessarily in the code, but in the hands of the person posting tweets every day.

The human heart is more toxic than any vulnerability.
