<strong>Abstract:</strong> Growth of technologies, interconnected systems and digitalization, securing data becomes a vital concern to governments and organizations. The value of data enforces these governments and organization to implement huge number of security controls to safeguard their data. In fact, no matter of security controls implemented, there is another important factor might cause attacks, data leakage or service interruption which is “Human”. Human is the main part of Social Engineering which is the art of manipulating people to obtain sensitive information. This typ

Threats based on social engineering in social networks are becoming a more common problem. Social engineering is a type of attack that relies on trickery and exploiting human psychology to gain access to confidential information or resources. It involves deceptive techniques like phishing, pretexting, and baiting, tricking individuals into revealing sensitive information or performing specific actions. These tactics can lead to unauthorized access to user accounts, identity theft, or the distribution of harmful content. This study offers a detailed review of threats related to social engineeri

In the current digital era, protecting information and being alert to the risk of data leaks is very important, especially for confidential data. Efforts to maintain the confidentiality of this information can use appropriate technology to prevent potential security threats. Using Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) can play a role in reducing the risk of phishing attacks by utilizing technology-based methods that involve social engineering activities and implementing spear phishing experiments via email content. This is useful for identifying security weaknesses that must be fixed. This research

Abstract:

Social engineering attacks using AI-generated deepfake information leverage rare cybersecurity threat hunting. Conventional phishing detection and fraud prevention systems are failing to catch detection errors due to AI-generated social engineering in email, voice, and video content. To mitigate the increased risk of AI-driven social engineering attacks, a new multi-modal AI defense framework, incorporating Transfer Learning through pre-trained language models, deep fake sound analysis, and behavior-analysis systems capable of pinpointing AI generated social engineering attack, is presented.

Abstract:

Information security in healthcare settings is overlooked even though it is the most vulnerable for social engineering attacks. The theft of hospital information data is critical to be monitored as they contain patients’ confidential health information. If leaked, the data can impact patients’ social as well as professional life. The hospital data system includes administrative data, as well as employees’ personal information hacked, which can cause identity theft. The current paper discusses types and sources of social engineering attacks in healthcare organizations. Social engineering attack

Abstract:

The article analyzes the main types of social engineering attacks and their classification. An overview of the instruments for detecting and counteracting social engineering as a method of accessing confidential information is provided, and key tools for counteracting such attacks are proposed. Experiments are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of each tool in different types of attacks. Particular attention is paid to software tools that help minimize the risks and losses from social engineering attacks. A system of integrated use of security tools has been developed that provides alm

Abstract:

Social engineering is one of the biggest challenges facing network security because it exploits the natural human tendency to trust. In recent years, cybercriminals have done everything in their power to be innovative. They are taking advantage of every aspect of our lives to develop new social engineering schemes. This paper provides an in-depth survey about the social engineering attacks that took place in Romania in 2019, their classifications, detection strategies, and prevention procedures.

Abstract:

Information is the most important resource of any company in our time, so ensuring its protection is one of the priority business tasks of each organization. Over the years, technical security systems have been increasingly improved through technological developments, the recording of multiple channels of information leakage and the growing need for information security in general. Well-designed technical protection systems will always perform the tasks assigned to them, but one single factor can make them useless – a person. People will remain human, with their weaknesses, prejudices, stereot
