Social engineering

Manipulating humans instead of machines: phishing (fake emails), pretexting (inventing a story), baiting (leaving a USB drive), tailgating (following someone through a door).

How this shows up at NCAE

Not scored at NCAE directly, but some Injects simulate phishing response. Worth knowing for the Injects category and real-world jobs.
