Unraveling The Tactics and Techniques of Social Engineering Exploits

Abstract
Social engineering exploit is a form of manipulation that exploits human psychology to gain access to information, systems, or resources. Cybercriminals are skilled manipulators who know how to play on people's emotions and vulnerabilities. Attackers use a variety of tactics and techniques to trick their victims into divulging sensitive information or taking actions that compromise their security.This study explores the complex field of social engineering strategies and tactics, analysing their workings, efficacy, and possible defences. By understanding these social engineering techniques and implementing basic security measures, we can strengthen our defenses and protect ourselves from falling victim to these deceptive schemes.
