Six Types of Social Engineering Attacks

Some examples of social engineering attacks include phishing, pretexting, scareware, baiting, vishing, smishing and CEO fraud. If you are unsure what qualifies as social engineering, imagine how many ways someone can manipulate you to reveal private information. Threat actors use these psychological techniques, both in person and online, to gain access to your personal or organizational information. These bad actors can install malware on your device, steal your information and even take your identity.

Best Practices For Pen Testing

Threat actors are leaping over traditional barriers with ease, demanding sharper defenses for our widening attack surfaces. They are constantly on the move, probing IT infrastructure to identify vulnerable systems – including unpatched endpoints, network misconfigurations, unsecured APIs, and long-forgotten cloud permissions. Keeping up with network changes and closing these security gaps is a never-ending, manual endeavor that saps IT resources, time, and morale. The result: unnecessary security risk. After all, you can’t secure what you don’t know about.

This intel helps them craft compelling and realistic phishing scams or impersonate you or trusted sources to steal private info or money.
