This study was conducted to measure the relationship between social media use and cyberattacks on students. The
study also measures the moderating role of privacy issues, lack of information, and parental control concerning social
media use and cyberattacks on students. The quantitative data was used in this research to measure the relationship
between variables. Eight hundred fourteen responses were collected, and the respondents of this study were the
students at a school located in Shanghai and its remote areas. The motivation of this research was to provide theoretical
and practical findings to reduce the number of cyberattacks on students, which is necessary for their better social media
use experience. The study analyzed the collected data using R language, a novel contribution to the literature. The direct
and moderating relationships reported by this research were empirically analyzed to provide reliable findings in the
literature. The study also recommends policy implications to keep students informed and away from cyberattacks.
