What will be an ideal response?
One of the most common forms of social engineering is phishing, or sending an e-mail or displaying a Web announcement that falsely claims to be from a legitimate enterprise in an attempt to trick the user into surrendering private information. The user is asked to respond to an e-mail or is directed to a Web site where they are instructed to update personal information, such as passwords, credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, or other information for which the legitimate organization already has a record. However, the Web site is actually a fake and is set up to steal the user's information.
