A social engineering campaign is a deceptive cyberattack that manipulates human psychology to steal sensitive information, gain unauthorized access, or compromise systems. These attacks are difficult to detect because they exploit trust, curiosity, and emotions rather than technical vulnerabilities. Cybercriminals use phishing emails, malicious websites, fraudulent phone calls, and even in-person deception to trick individuals into revealing credentials, clicking malicious links, or downloading harmful attachments. The best defense against social engineering is awareness and vigilance—be skeptical of unsolicited communications, especially those that create urgency or ask for sensitive information. Always verify requests through a trusted source before responding, and never click on suspicious links or attachments. By staying alert and practicing strong security awareness, you can reduce the risk of falling victim to social engineering attacks.
