Hacking people, not technology.
Social Engineering
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.
The industry failure rate on phishing tests is over 30%.
That's a high number.
