Social Engineering in Cybersecurity; Threats and Defenses by Gururaj H L & Janhavi V & Ambika V, 2024
In today’s digitally interconnected world, the threat landscape has evolved to include not just sophisticated technical exploits but also the art of human manipulation. The primary aim of this textbook is to provide a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of social engineering attacks.
What’s a good appreciation gift for a team member who cracks the case? Today a network admin in our IT team caught an ancient sftp server being abused and shut it down. I’m thinking a 6 pack of craft beer.
What has your team done for people who go above and beyond in finding and stopping incidents?
I have a virus on my windows install, every now and then it pops up and windows anti virus recognises it, but only fights it off until the next attack. Process is called MoIso but search is crap so I gave up looking. #CyberSecurity
#Cybersecurity#Privacy#DataProtection: "EVA GALPERIN: Privacy and security are not the same thing. For example, Facebook is extremely interested in protecting your security. They want to make sure that it is always you logging into your account. They will go through a great deal of trouble to keep your account secure.
But, you enter all kinds of data into that account. You tell it where you are located. You send it all of your pictures. You send messages and Facebook collects all of that data. They don’t want you to keep it private, they want you to hand it to them so that they can use it in order to serve you targeted ads and make them money.
ALOK PATEL: My accounts are mostly secure when I control access to them, but that doesn’t mean the data I put in them stays private, far from it. Privacy and security are not the same, but they are two sides of the same coin, and I have to understand both if I’m going to protect my personal data.
MATT MITCHELL: When your privacy is taken from you, your agency is taken from you. Privacy is that whisper, when you think you’re whispering to your friend, but you’re shouting in a crowded elevator. You’re robbed of something, and that’s why privacy is so important."
