Social Engineering, according to Mitnick, is the use of influence
and persuasion to deceive people into
divulging information . While Mitnick was the first to coin
the term, the art of social engineering itself is
nothing new; in a crude example, International Intelligence
claims that social engineering started “way
back in time when man started to lie to woman.”
However, the art of social engineering has enjoyed a
strong resurgence due to the low cost of attacks, anonymity
of electronic communication and the ease of
researching potential targets thanks to the popularity or
email and social engineering sites.
