Considerations on Preventing Social Engineering over the Internet
Journal Title: Memoirs of the Scientific Sections - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
The decrease of personal interactions, caused by the development of modern communication instruments (e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Dropbox, LinkedIn, Lync etc.) has allowed the evolution of new methods of social engineering attacks, which, under certain conditions, may become a very dangerous weapon. The aim of the present paper is to offer an overall presentation of possible attacks based on social engineering. The paper aims at identifying the specific methods of social engineering, as well as at displaying the defensive techniques in case of social engineering attacks. In the present-day society, based on Internet communication, it has been observed that the art of social engineering represents a phenomenon which continues to grow, because of the low costs of the attacks.
