Uber, Rockstar fell for this attack. Will you?

Social engineering, phishing, vishing, people hacking - these result in 70 - 90% of cyber attacks. See FREE Resources Below. Social engineering (SE) is defined as any act that uses persuasion strategies to influence individuals to take an action that may or may not be in their best interests. Cyberadversaries are increasingly using SE in their attacks to develop trust relationships with potential targets and then deceive them into revealing sensitive information (passwords), obtain unauthorized access (to restricted areas, servers, etc.), or commit fraud (via phishing or spreading disinformation).

Dr Aunshul Rege has created Capture The Flags (CTFs), University and Educator programs to better teach this to organizations and students. // MENU // 00:00 - Social Engineering is important 00:45 - Intro 00:50 - Dr. Aunshul Rege introduction and background 02:27 - People are The Weakest Link 04:50 - Aunshul's path to Social Engineering & educating. 11:00 - Changing ways social engineering is taught 19:28 - Starting Social Engineering CTFs 22:58 - Investing in Social Engineering events 30:45 - Unethical phishing 32:40 - Making Social Engineering training fun 38:24 - Combining skills in Social Engineering 42:35 - Opportunities in Social Engineering 49:00 - Diversity, Equity & Inclusion 55:37 - Teaching to be ethical 01:00:13 - How to get involved or sponsor 01:08:51 - Social Engineering CTFs in the future 01:14:54 - Conclusion // Temple University // Resources to get started: https://sites.temple.edu/care/resources/ Social engineering: https://sites.temple.edu/care/social-engineering/ CARE Lab: https://sites.temple.edu/care/ https://sites.temple.edu/socialengineering/ Educator Workshops:https://sites.temple.edu/care/educator-workshop/ // Defcon // Social engineering community: https://www.se.community/ Cool photos: https://www.flickr.com/photos/secommunity // Dr Rege // Twitter: http
