Social Engineering Threats:
To attack your organization, social engineering hackers exploit the credulity, laziness, good manners, or even enthusiasm of your staff. Therefore it is difficult to defend against a socially engineered attack, because the targets may not realize that they have been duped, or may prefer not to admit it to other people. The goals of a social engineering hacker, someone who tries to gain unauthorized access to your computer systems, are similar to those of any other hacker: they want your money, information, or IT resources.

There are five major attack vectors that a social engineering hacker uses:

  • Online & Electronic
  • Telephone
  • Waste management
  • Personal approaches
  • Reverse social engineering


    Beyond recognizing these entry points, you also need to know what the hacker hopes to gain. Hackers want to take your money or resources, they want to be recognized within society or their own peer group, and they want to feel good about themselves. When you design your defenses against such threats, you should estimate what an attack will cost you.
