People in general try to be helpful and cooperative social creatures. As part of this social characteristic people tend to talk to others and often give out more information than they should. The bad guys are aware of this and will use crafty ways to get people to divulge seemingly innocent information that can be pieced with other information or used alone to gain access to networks, systems, and unauthorized areas (digital and physical). Research articles on social engineering and carry on discussions about the following topics
- Different types of social engineering
- What different types of information can be gleaned from this type of attack
- What can be done to help employees at an organization avoid being the pawn in these attacks
- Share personal experiences where you either gave or were given too much information that could be used in a social engineering attack.
