The Art of Social Engineering
Social engineering is a dishonest technique used by individuals or organisations to trick others into disclosing sensitive information, taking actions, or making judgements that jeopardise security or secrecy (Nanda & De, 2022). It often entails attacking human psychology rather than technological flaws, making it an effective weapon in cyberattacks. This paper looks into the world of social engineering, looking at real-life instances, warning indicators, and preventative methods.
