An Insider Threat What is Social Engineering
summary
Claims that social engineering finds insiders faster than code vulnerabilities, with a concrete example where LinkedIn and credit accounts are hijacked and DOJ records are spoofed after a security conference. Advises short answers and no personal posts on social media, shows a hands‑on method: profile top-to-bottom, memorize names, use reflective listening; cites a rise in reported cyber incidents from 14% (2017) to 60% (2021). Warns slow, patient operators are most effective and recounts being compromised despite attending a security event.
