-> For some attack scenarios, social engineering can be as simple as making a phone call and impersonating an insider to elicit classified information. 
-> The defense of software mainly focuses on the digital domain yet overlooks human factors in security. As the security technology develops day by day, the classical attacks become harder and more and more attackers turn to social engineering. 
-> Human vulnerabilities seem inevitable, after all, there is not a cyber system that doesn't rely on humans or involve human factors on earth and these human factors are vulnerable obviously or can be largely turned into security vulnerabilities by skilled attackers.

Also only defining is not enough, work in terms of policies and education must be done to make those entities aware and secure against those attacks.]]> 2021-11-19 21:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/akth6342/50njd38ltc0y06eh/wish/1902984335 How do cyber attackers leverage social engineering to go after a target? akth6342 https://padlet.com/akth6342/50njd38ltc0y06eh/wish/1902984557 The attackers may manipulate a small number of employees and use their credentials to access the company's internal systems. That’s what happened with one of twitter's hacks. They might take time and scout out the easiest entity working for their target, who can give them what they want and then get the sensitive information.
