Alert yourself social engineering could be happening to you right now 🚨 🗣What is Social Engineering? It deals with the psychological manipulation of a human for extraction of information about an organization or other human. It does not deal with network security issues. There is no software or hardware which can be used to defend against a social engineering attack. 📎Phases of Social Engineering Attack 1. Research the organization-Dumpster diving, websites, etc. 2. Select a target-Identify a not happy/frustrated employee. 3. Develop a relationship with selected employees. 4. Exploit the relationship-Collect the sensitive information.

What is social engineering? Social engineering is the art of making someone do what you want them to do. It overlaps heavily with academic fields involving psychology, biology, and even mathematics! In cybersecurity, social engineering is the use of deception to manipulate individuals into divulging confidential or personal information that could then be used for fraudulent purposes. Basically, how could someone trick another person into giving up something that is private? Social engineering attacks are the dark art of using social interactions to trick someone into making a security mistake. Social engineering tactics can be employed in-person, over the phone, or online through websites, email, and social media. Once an attacker can make an individual perform a certain action, then the attacker can gain access to sensitive systems, steal assets, or advance a more complex attack. This notion of focusing on persuading or tricking people may sound unreliable. But, there are many case studies that show social engineering is an incredibly powerful technique for attackers. EXAMPLES Effective social engineering tactics can result in defrauding vulnerable individuals of their savings through scams and confidence tricks. For organizations with physical buildings, social engineering also includes tailgating, or closely following, individuals in order to gain access to secure areas. #SocialEngineering

Hey youuuuuu, Have you ever heard of social engineering? Well, if you haven't, I'm here for you! Social engineering is a means of obtaining confidential or personal information through deception for fraudulent purposes. For fraudulent persons, it's easier to gather information by posing as legit and honest people on various social media platforms. They carefully create a deceptive but believable personality depending on who their target is. While it's impossible to completely evade fraudulent persons, you can protect yourself by following the steps below; 1. Don't rush to open links or attachments, even from seemingly familiar senders. 2. Avoid sharing personal details or financial information online. 3. Enable two-factor authentication across all social media platforms. Social engineering is subtle and sometimes you may not notice it until it's too late. Don't be careful. Protect yourself by taking the above steps. Don't bother to thank me, share this post with others so that they can learn. Happy Wednesday! #tech #learn #tipsforyou #learnwithme #socialengineering

Introduction to Social Engineering in Cybersecurity As network security has become more advanced, the art of social engineering has become significantly more dangerous. Social engineering is a term attributed to an individual or group of individuals who are able to infiltrate a network and gain access to sensitive data simply by using often socially friendly gestures to obtain the required information. The tactics can be anything from email, telephone calls, or just face-to-face conversations. As our professional careers began in the networking field, we have both been able to speak from real-world examples of how security is often exploited and how often social engineering is used, either to gain illegal access to networks, bypass firewalls that have been installed, or gain access to protected or sensitive data. Here are some classic elements to observe of the audacity shows that make social engineering successful: - Manipulation - This is the art of manipulation and is the foundation of a well-constructed social engineering attack. In the eyes of the hacker, the target is an easy mark. - Gullibility - The basic art of being easily influenced or trusting depends on the belief you gain from unsuspecting individuals who are trying to help. - Controlling a person's behavior - Without realizing it, a social engineer can manipulate and dictate actions by pushing key buttons, feeding you your thoughts and fears, often while guiding you to further manipulate sensitive assets. - Advanced and evolved - What is the true art of social engineering? When successful, these serious breakthroughs become the difference between greatness and frustration. #cyberTrybe

Social Engineering: Social engineers use psychological manipulation to trick individuals into revealing confidential information. Common tactics include impersonating authority figures, creating a sense of urgency, and exploiting trust. For example, they might pose as IT support, claiming there's an urgent issue requiring immediate access to your account. To identify these tactics, watch for unsolicited requests for sensitive information, especially if they come with pressure to act quickly. Be cautious of emails or calls that seem too urgent or offer deals that sound too good to be true. Avoid falling victim by verifying the identity of the person contacting you. Use official channels to confirm their legitimacy before sharing any information. Educate yourself and others about these tactics to build awareness. Have you encountered social engineering attempts? Share your experiences in the comments! Your insights can help others stay safe. Remember, staying informed and skeptical is your best defense against social engineering attacks. Protect yourself and encourage others to do the same!

Guess who made it halfway through 💃🏻 Day 15🥳🥳 “My take on social engineering” Key Tips to Protect Against Social Engineering 📌Be Skeptical of Unsolicited Requests: If someone asks for sensitive information out of the blue, whether through email, phone, or in person, verify their identity through official channels before giving any information. 📌Don’t Share Sensitive Information Freely: Avoid sharing PINs, passwords, or other sensitive information, even with people you trust. Scammers can use personal relationships as leverage. 📌Use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Even if someone steals your password, they’d still need a second form of verification, like a code sent to your phone, to gain access. 📌Educate Yourself on Scams: Familiarize yourself with common tactics. Many scams rely on people not being aware of the threat. Stay updated on the latest scam tactics and be cautious of anything that feels “off.” 📌Verify Links and Emails: Don’t click on links or download attachments from unknown sources. Look out for subtle changes in email addresses and URLs, like “@paypall.com” instead of “@paypal.com”. Common Myths About Social Engineering 🫵🏾”I can trust family and friends with my information” 🫵🏾”Only tech-savvy people get targeted” 🫵🏾”Social engineers only go after big companies 🫵🏾”If I don’t use the internet, I’m safe” All these are terrible lies from the pit of hell😂. Let’s do well to stay informed and cautious after all social engineering is all about taking advantages of the human nature. Adesola Oguntimehin CyberPatron Network
