Social engineering is the low tech, high impact method of fooling the right person on the wrong day to steal information, money and access to your most sensitive client and firm information. We’ll glide through a brief history of social engineering from phreaking in the 70’s to the current spear-phishing, whaling and pretexting attacks that threaten your firm and uncover best practices to protect yourself.
