Social Engineering for Security Attacks

Proceedings of the The 3rd Multidisciplinary International Social Networks Conference on SocialInformatics 2016, Data Science 2016, 2016
Social Engineering is a kind of advance persistent threat (APT) that gains private and sensitive information through social networks or other types of communication. The attackers can use social engineering to obtain access into social network accounts and stays there undetected for a long period of time. The purpose of the attack is to steal sensitive

Investigations into social engineering evidence for security research

2023
When technical protection mechanisms are too inflexible and security decisions are passed to users, users become part of the attack surface of a socio-technical system. This thesis contributes to the science of security regarding Social Engineering (SE), where users are the core enabler of successful attacks. Various sources were consulted to identify,

SOCIAL ENGINEERING AND CYBER SECURITY

Gurukul International Multidisciplinary Research Journal
Abstract As the digital era matures, cyber security evolves and software vulnerabilities diminish, people however, as individuals, are more exposed today than ever before. Presently, one of the most practiced and effective penetration attacks are social rather than technical, so efficient in fact, that these exploits play a crucial role to support the
