Attackers use emails, social media, instant messaging, and SMS to trick victims into providing sensitive information or visiting malicious URLs in an attempt to compromise their systems.
A watering hole attack consists of injecting malicious code into the public web pages of a site that the targets used to visit.
Pretexting indicates the practice of presenting oneself as someone else to obtain private information. Usually, attackers create a fake identity and use it to manipulate the receipt of information.]]> 2021-11-22 19:18:34 UTC https://padlet.com/vish4271/rxvbew1a052zgiry/wish/1906853856 What can we do to help prevent attackers from leveraging social engineering for their own benefit? vish4271 https://padlet.com/vish4271/rxvbew1a052zgiry/wish/1906862336 Delete any request for financial information or passwords. If you get asked to reply to a message with personal information, it’s a scam.
Reject requests for help or offers of help. Legitimate companies and organizations do not contact you to provide help.
Set your spam filters to high. Every email program has spam filters.
Secure your computing devices. Install anti-virus software, firewalls, email filters, and keep these up-to-date. Use an anti-phishing tool offered by your web browser or third party to alert you to risks.]]> 2021-11-22 19:23:23 UTC https://padlet.com/vish4271/rxvbew1a052zgiry/wish/1906862336 How do cyber attackers leverage social engineering to go after a target? vish4271 https://padlet.com/vish4271/rxvbew1a052zgiry/wish/1906875968 A social engineering attack persuades the target to click on a link, open an attachment, install a program, or download a file. The link may redirect the target to a website that solicits personal information (that is then collected by the attacker) or has malware on it that then infects the target's computer.
Phone calls—often called “vishing,” for “voice fishing”—sometimes require the malicious actor to adopt a persona to persuade the target to give up critical information. 
Targeted phishing is known as spear phishing, where the “bait” is directed at a specific individual or company. Customizing the attack increases the probability that the victim will fall for the spear-phishing campaign.]]> 2021-11-22 19:31:16 UTC https://padlet.com/vish4271/rxvbew1a052zgiry/wish/1906875968
