Social Engineering – or: How we get tricked
Sometimes you just can’t say “no”. When the fundraising rescue workers are at the front door or in the pre-Christmas season the opportunities to do a good deed one more time this year are increasing. Of course we are happy to help, for we are social beings after all. However, this humanitarian side of us is being exploited increasingly. Social engineering aims to motivate people to do things they would not do under normal circumstances. This manipulation occurs everywhere – digitally, as well as in the real world.
