Confessions of a social engineer: Why developers are my favorite target

Abstract:

Social engineers use a dangerous combination of technology and old fashioned con artistry to infiltrate organizations every day.

Learn to see the world through the eyes of a social engineer and prevent yourself from being a victim.
