Exploration of Social Engineering in the Digital Era of Stealth
Abstract
Social engineering entails obtaining important information. Attackers may request varied victim details. After targeting someone, attackers aim to steal their bank account information or passwords or breach into their machine to install malicious software to take control. Social engineering is simpler than software infiltration because attackers exploit victim confidence. Tricking someone into giving their password is simpler than hacking it. Trusting people and things is crucial to security. Finding out if someone is who they say they are is crucial. Trusting a website and giving your personal information: when? Thus, every respected security expert agrees that the weakest link in the security system is the believer. Even with locks and deadbolts on our doors and windows, guard dogs, alarm systems, floodlights, barbed wire fences, and armed guards, the pizza delivery man at the gate can get in. This chapter expands on social engineering and safety.
