Abstract
With the increase in the use of technology, the priority of every company and individual is rapidly shifting to data privacy and security. As it is well known in this area of digitalization that information is of high importance and so everyone’s desire is for their information to be secure and out of reach to anyone except the authorized persons. Unfortunately, despite of every effort made by companies and individuals to keep their data secure, data can never be 100% secure as there will always be vulnerability. However, been as it is that there is no 100% security when it comes to data, it doesn’t mean that we can’t level up the security of our data, so in the paper we will be looking at one very important and easily exploited vulnerability the ‘Human been', the kind of attack we are looking at is called Social Engineering which is defined as exploiting human flaws for malicious purposes. With the increase in system security attackers are finding it easier to exploit people than computer systems which makes people the greatest vulnerably of information.
