AB  - Owing to their dynamic user interactions, ever-changing structure, and real-time content changes, dynamic social networks pose significant privacy and security risks. The state of security and privacy-preserving techniques in these developing platforms is thoroughly examined in this study. We highlight the benefits and drawbacks of various approaches as we review recent studies on privacy-preserving tactics, security updates, and anonymisation methods. Important findings indicate that present approaches often fail in dynamic situations, even when they operate well in static network conditions. Beyond common problems, we also point out important security aspects influenced by hierarchical systems and community formation. While hierarchical positions like leaders and influencers are high-value targets for adversaries, communities can hasten the dissemination of false information or coordinated attacks while also promoting trust and connection. Important topics including scalability, privacy, information sharing, and identity and access management are also covered. The need for adaptable, scalable, and context-aware security solutions that can handle the complexity of dynamic social networks is emphasised in the paper's conclusion, which also outlines open issues and future research directions.
