It is important to explain the different ways that those attackers do to get the information they need. ]]> 2021-03-15 03:09:02 UTC https://padlet.com/bharbi454/Social_Engineering/wish/1308779950 What are some of the most common ways social engineering affects cybersecurity? bharbi454 https://padlet.com/bharbi454/Social_Engineering/wish/1308780863 Social engineering targets people’s weaknesses instead of technology vulnerabilities. However, both share the same goal which is breaking system confidentiality. Cybersecurity is all about assuring system confidentiality by preventing any possible vulnerabilities in the system, and these vulnerabilities could be in the system itself or by people who are using the system. ]]> 2021-03-15 03:09:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bharbi454/Social_Engineering/wish/1308780863 How do cyber attackers leverage social engineering to go after a target? bharbi454 https://padlet.com/bharbi454/Social_Engineering/wish/1308783354 The majority of the internet users are not experts and most of them have low knowledge about these kinds of phishing. It is easy to target people by making them feel that if they do not act fast enough, they will lose their bank account for example. Also, people always want to win free stuff, this is another way to target them.  Sometimes, it is hard to make sure if a website real or a phishing website.  ]]> 2021-03-15 03:10:35 UTC https://padlet.com/bharbi454/Social_Engineering/wish/1308783354 Article 1: bharbi454 https://padlet.com/bharbi454/Social_Engineering/wish/1308784081 2021-03-15 03:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/bharbi454/Social_Engineering/wish/1308784081 Article 2: bharbi454 https://padlet.com/bharbi454/Social_Engineering/wish/1308791909 2021-03-15 03:14:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bharbi454/Social_Engineering/wish/1308791909 Article 3: bharbi454 https://padlet.com/bharbi454/Social_Engineering/wish/1308794963 2021-03-15 03:16:18 UTC https://padlet.com/bharbi454/Social_Engineering/wish/1308794963 Video 1: bharbi454 https://padlet.com/bharbi454/Social_Engineering/wish/1308800293 2021-03-15 03:18:48 UTC https://padlet.com/bharbi454/Social_Engineering/wish/1308800293 Video 2: bharbi454 https://padlet.com/bharbi454/Social_Engineering/wish/1308801592 2021-03-15 03:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/bharbi454/Social_Engineering/wish/1308801592 Video 3: bharbi454 https://padlet.com/bharbi454/Social_Engineering/wish/1308803424 2021-03-15 03:20:17 UTC https://padlet.com/bharbi454/Social_Engineering/wish/1308803424 How does the social engineering piece intertwine with the technical aspect of cyber attacks? bharbi454 https://padlet.com/bharbi454/Social_Engineering/wish/1308812494 https://drive.google.com/file/d/17F0dQ8bszjjs8haXvCF0xksuEWiiqcn4/view?usp=sharing]]> 2021-03-15 03:24:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bharbi454/Social_Engineering/wish/1308812494
