Social Engineering
Social engineering is a manipulation technique that exploits human psychology to gain confidential information, access, or permissions that would otherwise be unavailable. This method often involves tricking individuals into breaking normal security procedures, such as by impersonating trusted figures or creating scenarios that prompt the victim to divulge sensitive information or grant access. Social engineering is commonly used in cybersecurity attacks, such as phishing scams, but can also be employed in various contexts where manipulating human behavior is advantageous.
