In this short video we provide a non-technical overview the most common type of cyber attack, social engineering. In this short video we discuss social engineering, what it is, and how it is used to manipulate users, and examples of the use of social engineering, particularly through emails, text messages, and voice messages. Most importantly, I discuss ways to protect yourself against social engineering attacks and identity theft.
This is the third of three videos on social engineering.
