Social Engineering and Deepfakes
Introduction
Society is changing rapidly, especially with the increased usage of information technology. With that comes opportunity for bad actors to take advantage. One of the key risks in this context is ‘social engineering’.
Social engineering, in the context of information security, is the use of deception to manipulate individuals into divulging confidential or personal information that may be used for fraudulent purposes.
There are two different methods to consider, either:
- Using psychological manipulation to get further access to an IT system such as impersonating an important client via a phone call to lure the target into browsing a malicious website to infect the organisation’s workstation
- Using IT technologies to obtain banking credentials via a phishing attack in order to steal the organisation’s money
The rapid increase in the use of IT technologies has accelerated the use of such techniques in cyber-attacks.
