1.  Baiting - Leaving a seemingly unused usb drive available in an office environment that is infected with malware/viruses.  An unknowing victim sees the unused drive and uses it for personal use.
2.  Phishing - Sending an email to a group of recipients urging them to take immediate action due to a recent cyber attack on their company.  In order to protect themselves, they must provide login credentials to a fictitious administrator that will go into their account and remove the effects of said attack.
3. Scare-ware - Creating a popup that a user sees scaring them into thinking their credit card information has been obtained by a malicious 3rd party. As a result they need to provide their credit card information to the nonexistent authority to protect themselves from attack.]]> 2021-10-10 22:09:35 UTC https://padlet.com/semc2429/Bookmarks/wish/1806150844 semc2429 https://padlet.com/semc2429/Bookmarks/wish/1806165240 Social Engineering Effects
