Social Engineering
Social engineering is a psychological manipulation technique used by attackers to trick individuals into revealing confidential information, such as passwords, personal details, or access credentials.
Instead of exploiting software or hardware vulnerabilities, social engineering targets human behavior through tactics like phishing, pretexting, baiting, and tailgating.
It is one of the most common methods used in cyber attacks, especially in email scams and identity theft.
