The Social Engineering Issue

The Social Engineering Issue

This newsletter adds some context to the most successful attack method ever devised - Social Engineering.  Yes, Social Engineering attacks work because the bad guys attack YOU - the human - and not the technology. We’ll look at Social Engineering throughout history, going back more than three millennia. Then we will find out what a Social Engineer looks like! And today in Hollywood, USA, Social Engineering is embedded into all forms of Pop Culture - from Die Hard to Inception.  Remember, only you can prevent Social Engineering!
