Social engineering has become one of the most powerful tools used by hackers. You don’t even need to own a computer to be targeted—sometimes, people unknowingly hand over their personal information to attackers. Consider those suspicious phone calls or fake text messages you receive regularly. A scammer might contact you, claiming that your bank account is at risk and urging you to provide certain details to “fix” the issue. Out of fear, many individuals comply, unknowingly giving hackers access to sensitive information. This simple mistake can lead to serious consequences, including financial loss and identity theft. Stay vigilant, question unexpected requests for personal information, and always verify the source before taking action.

social engineering is a major cybersecurity threat because it preys on human psychology rather than technical vulnerabilities. Attackers use fear, urgency, and trust to manipulate people into revealing sensitive information.

Pretexting – Attackers create a fabricated scenario (pretext) to obtain information, like pretending to be IT support asking for login credentials.

Social engineering is a hacker’s weapon of choice—no computer required. Scammers prey on fear, tricking people into handing over sensitive info. Stay alert, question everything, and always verify before you act! 🔒🚨

A healthy dose of skepticism can save you from scams. If something feels off, trust your instincts and verify the source
