Social engineering is the clever manipulation of our human nature to trust and be helpful.
43% are not aware that clicking a suspicious link or opening an unknown attachment in an email is likely to lead to malware infection, and 59% are not fully confident they could identify a social engineering attack anyway.
And here is a recent phishing test for an organization. And if you'll look right here, they have eight clicks, one reply, 12 attachments opened, and 12 macros enabled.
