Remember, social engineering is the umbrella that holds all these vices.

So, what then is social engineering?

Social engineering is the art of manipulating people into divulging confidential information or performing actions that compromise security. For example, phishing, tailgating, and quid pro quo are common tactics used. So, when you're next asked to click on a certain link, be sure to check its authenticity—because it could be phishing! 😅 Now you know better!

Worried about your password security? Use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. The longer, the better—for example, use a password of at least 12 characters. Ensure you create a different password for each of your accounts so that every one is unique. Finally, don’t worry about remembering all your long, unique passwords—tools like password managers (e.g., Chrome’s password manager) can help generate and store them for you. So, keep your passwords strong and unique, and let technology do the remembering!
