How does social engineering affect you? 

  • If hackers are able to get your credentials, they can: 
    • Impersonate you when performing criminal acts (e.g. steal corporate information, spam others, perform DDOS attacks, share illegal files). 
    • Use your credentials to hack your company and network.
  • Hackers aim to get your personal information (name, SSN, credit card information, etc.), giving them the ability to steal your identity. 
  • If you are attacked at home, hackers can breach your home network and gain access to your home devices. 
  • 63% of data breaches come from internal sources. 
  • 600,000 Facebook accounts are compromised every single day.
