The use of social engineering has become the primary cause of security breaches in the digital world, where it takes advantage of human nature instead of the weaknesses in technology. Social engineering, unlike a normal hacker, uses charm, lies, and psychological stress on the victim to get him/her to reveal confidential information. This research uncovers deceiving tactics used in social engineering to examine the main attack vectors like phishing, pretexting, quid pro quo, baiting, and tailgating, and to show the effect of these tactics on companies. It cites examples of the past to convince the reader to resort to the solution of awareness programs, well-structured security policies, and staff training to counter the threat.
