Most of the Cyber Attacks happening around the globe are due to Social Engineering Attacks.
- What is a Social Engineering Attack?
It is a Non-Technical Attack using Psychology and Trickery. It does not involve technical offensive cyber weaponry. A classical example is when someone pretending to be calling from IT Support tricking a Non-Technical User such as a Receptionist of an Accounts/HR Officer, telling them of their password has expired and needed to give a new one. During their conversation, the impersonated IT Officer might ask for the old password and ask them if they want to retain that. In most cases Non-Technical Employees without realizing, they will disclose their current password. That same can then be used to launch further cyber attacks.
