The types of information sought by these criminals vary, but when people are targeted, the criminals are frequently attempting to deceive you into giving them your passwords or bank information, or accessing your computer to discreetly install dangerous software—giving them access to your passwords and bank information as well as control over your computer.
Criminals use social engineering strategies because it is typically simpler to take advantage of your inherent tendency to trust others than it is to figure out how to hack your program. ]]> 2022-09-10 17:19:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kabu9868/3kw1cli24vmxn70q/wish/2290754661 kabu9868 https://padlet.com/kabu9868/3kw1cli24vmxn70q/wish/2290755494 Knowing who and what to trust is the foundation of security. It's crucial to understand when to believe someone when they say they do and when to verify that the person you are speaking with is who they claim to be. The same is true of utilizing websites and engaging in online activities: when do you feel confident that the website you are accessing is reliable or secure enough for you to give personal information?

Baiting- An attacker places a physical object that has been infected with malware in a location where it will be discovered, like a USB flash drive. When the target picks up the object and places it inside their computer, the malware is unintentionally installed.

Phishing- When a malicious attacker sends an email that looks authentic but is actually fraudulent and typically poses as coming from a reliable source. The goal of the message is to deceive the receiver into disclosing financial or personal information or clicking on a malicious link.

Spear Phishing- This is similar to phishing, except the attack is targeted at a particular person or business.

Vishing- Vishing, also referred to as voice phishing, is the practice of using social engineering to get financial or personal information from a target over the phone.

Whaling- Whaling attacks are a particular kind of phishing scam that target high-profile workers like the CEO or CFO in an effort to deceive the targeted employee into providing confidential information.]]> 2022-09-10 17:46:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kabu9868/3kw1cli24vmxn70q/wish/2290766837 Don’t become a victim kabu9868 https://padlet.com/kabu9868/3kw1cli24vmxn70q/wish/2290773570 Slow down- Spammers urge you to take action without thinking. Never let their sense of urgency influence your cautious analysis if the communication uses high-pressure sales tactics or portrays a sense of urgency.
Research the facts- Any unsolicited messages should raise suspicions. Make your own inquiries if the email appears to be coming from a business you deal with. To find the true company's website or phone number, use a search engine to navigate there.
Don’t let a link be in control of where you land- Stay in control by finding the website yourself using a search engine to be sure you land where you intend to land. Hovering over links in email will show the actual URL at the bottom, but a good fake can still steer you wrong.
Email hijacking is rampant- People's email accounts (as well as other communication accounts) being taken over by hackers, spammers, and social engineers has become commonplace. Once they have access to an email account, they abuse the contacts' confidence. If you aren't expecting an email with a link or attachment, check with your friend before opening any links or downloading anything, even if the sender seems to be someone you know.
Beware of any download- Downloading anything is a mistake if you don't know the sender personally AND anticipate receiving a file from them.
Foreign offers are fake- It is always a fraud if you receive an email asking you to send money from abroad to get a piece of the money, enter a foreign lottery or sweepstakes, or accept money from an unidentified family.]]> 2022-09-10 18:01:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kabu9868/3kw1cli24vmxn70q/wish/2290773570 Social Engineering and Cyber Security kabu9868 https://padlet.com/kabu9868/3kw1cli24vmxn70q/wish/2290791669 Social engineering is closely related to and entwined with nearly all cyberattacks.
