What is Social Engineering?
___________________________________

Social Engineering is the term used to describe a collection of cyber fraud techniques
increasingly employed to trick companies and individuals into handing over personal data,
money and other assets. It manipulates, disrupts and deceives to gain illegal control over
IT systems, personal computers, phones and tablets.

A social engineering campaign
might identify one particularly
valuable target, such as a large
corporation, a multi-millionaire,
celebrity and even you. This will
gather as much specifi c information
as possible about the target using
data sources such as Companies
House registrars, trade associations,
sports and social clubs, schools,
universities, social security numbers
and social media.
