Social Engineering
Social Engineering is an art that is practiced by someone who will try to gain your trust through dishonest means. They will try to “help” you or ask you for help and to become your new “friend”. You must keep your guard up at all times. If someone asks you for your password, Social Security Number, account pin numbers, or for any other type of sensitive information, question them on it. Ask them why they need that information. First of all, you should never give your password to anyone. You could get a phone call at work from someone stating that they just started and need help accessing their system account. They may even mention a manager’s name to make you believe they are a legitimate employee.
