Step $1$: Research Social Engineering Examples

Social engineering, as it relates to information security, is used to describe the techniques used by a person

$($or persons$)$ who manipulate people in order to access or compromise information about an organization or its

computer systems. A social engineer is usually difficult to identify and may claim to be a new employee, a

repair person, or researcher. The social engineer might even offer credentials to support that identity. By

gaining trust and asking questions, he or she may be able to piece together enough information to infiltrate an

organization's network.

Use any internet browser to research incidents of social engineering. Write a paragraph and summarize three examples found in

your research.
