Abstract
“ As we discussed last week, socially engineered threats are specially crafted threats designed to lure the eye and trick the mind - they look legitimate or benign, and in worst case, may take advantage of a trusted relationship, by utilizing a compromised account or familiar website. Social engineering techniques may be used in isolation, but are often used by attackers in tandem with other types of exploit in order to perform the attacker's real purpose - delivering the payload. What follows is a typical example that illustrates how attackers attempt to exploit both people and systems in order to achieve their goals.
