It builds confidence in the target&#8217;s mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As an example, hackers may call pretending to be IT <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/definition\/9675\/technical-support-tech-support\">tech support<\/a> and ask the victim for a password to fix a computer issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>False Urgency<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The scammer pressures the targetted person by making the request time-critical. They threaten to close accounts or take legal action to extract information quickly by giving the target insufficient time to verify the request&#8217;s legitimacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Phishing<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Blaggers use phishing techniques by sending malicious codes <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">through emails or links, intending to infect the target person&#8217;s computer devices and steal confidential data.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">These emails usually seem to come from trusted sources, and if the victim clicks the malicious link, software or spyware can be downloaded and installed.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>USB Drop Attack<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In this attack, blaggers leave infected malware-laden devices like USB drives in public areas where victims will likely notice and pick them up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Once plugged into a device, blaggers gain access to the victim&#8217;s system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Usually, car parks, coffee shops, and elevators are the most popular places for this attack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Also, be careful of USB devices given away at crypto events!<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sympathy Ploys<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Scammers play on the victim&#8217;s empathy by using fake emotional narratives for manipulation, for instance, emotive appeals around needing money for their children or following natural disasters.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Quid Pro Quo<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Fraudsters provide (fake) incentives like bonuses, cash, or profit-sharing in exchange for information.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tailgating<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Blaggers tail an employee physically into a premises or restricted zone to gain access.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">They rely on people holding doors open or not inquiring about their appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Elicitation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Blaggers begin friendly conversations to extract information about systems, processes, or vulnerabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"preventive_measures\">Preventive Measures<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Verify Claims<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If someone claims to be an IT tech support guy or a colleague needing information, stop and call back using an official number to ensure its authenticity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Verify email addresses, names, and contact details closely for further confirmation.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Validate Requests<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As an employee, investigate any uncommon requests, even if they seem important or &#8220;it&#8217;s an emergency.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Escalate it to a manager or raise a ticket through proper channels.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Restrict Account Access<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Employers should allow employees the minimum access required for their work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For example, customer care agents likely don&#8217;t need access to financial systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Report Suspicious Activity<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If a request looks suspicious or fishy, raise your concerns. Inform the security or management team immediately if you suspect a blagging attempt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Keep observing the systems and user behavior for unusual activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Security Awareness Training<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Alert and trained workers are more likely to identify and prevent blagging attempts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Educating people is necessary to defend against social engineering, and training curriculums should be equipped with real-world incidents and examples.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Layered Security<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Implement multiple security measures instead of trusting just one system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This security multi-model should have physical security controls, endpoint security, email security, access controls, and data-loss prevention tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"the_bottom_line\">The Bottom Line<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Unlike most cyber threats, cybersecurity solutions can not prevent blagging. Appeals to human nature can not be caught so easily by <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">anti-malware software or firewalls. The way to protect against it is to be alert, trained, act with caution, and react swiftly to incidents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Always verify the legitimacy of the person you&#8217;re interacting with online or over the phone, and never provide essential documents or information without independently and cautiously checking their authorization.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is Blagging?
