Social Engineering can be prevented easily and for free

Prevent Social Engineering
Social engineering is also known as deception art. It is, simply, capturing information by deceiving/manipulating the target person. This can be done in many ways. A fake message you send to someone to hack their email is one way to social engineer. An email or SMS that says, You have always earned $500, is another way to deceive.
For example, news about celebrities attracts more attention that other news. They are often appealing to a wider audience, mostly followers and fans, and draw media attention. To attract attention, media organizations must rely on sensationalized and exaggerated news stories to draw people’s attention. Readers will read more news if the headline is more amazing than the rest. Clicking on news links that promise shocking and extraordinary disclosures often leads to malicious sites that exploit fake news about celebrities. These sites, which are similar to many fraudulent numbers, contain malware or direct victims to survey or advertising sites.
Millions of people use social networking sites every day. It is no surprise that social network/media fraud, a type of misleading social media platform, has become so common. You can do this by installing new social media applications on your system that can take over your account, steal your personal information, or redirect you to malicious websites. Be careful when you click on links asking you to download a feature.
Trust is a great motivator. Social engineers may use language that inspires trust in you to allow them to request personal information or money. There is nothing to be suspicious about messages sent via email, SMS or phone calls. These messages can appear to come from legitimate business managers or government officials.
This type of message creates trust and makes you feel like you must do what is required to get out of this dangerous situation. Keep in mind, however, that a legal official or official will never ask for personal information via email or phone calls. You can surrender, regardless of how terrifying their tactics may seem, and they will not cause any major damage under normal circumstances. Be cautious with emails that ask you to do anything, or you could face serious consequences.
Many people celebrate New Year’s Day and other holidays around the globe. This is why social engineers love them. There are many social media posts that offer amazing holiday offers, and you can spot suspicious spam. These links are not connected to great discounts or free products, but to malware-hosting websites. Keep in mind that many very attractive online offers are likely to be fake.
Some programs allow social engineers to call any number. They can pretend that the number is a bank number or imitate 911 to make calls. Social engineers can easily trick people into giving their money by taking advantage of their trusting nature. It is best to remember that no official authority will ever request a password or credit card number.
Social engineers use a variety of techniques and tools to manipulate individuals, as we have explained. Social engineers use a variety of attack methods to manipulate target individuals, including vishing, smishing and phishing. They also use different scenarios and develop new techniques every day. This method is highly profitable and has higher success rates.
Phishing attacks are the most dangerous and common security threat.
