Over the last decade, phishing – a type of social engineering attack – has transformed from generic and similar to spam into the threat most likely to cause a breach. During that same period, the number of adults on social media platforms such as Facebook has increased by almost 1,300%.

Every photo we post, status we update, person we tag, and email we send reveals valuable information about our personal and professional lives. Hackers use this information to craft targeted – and effective – social engineering attacks at scale.

Based on interviews with ten hackers and results from a survey of 4,000 people, we explain how bad actors leverage publicly available information to breach companies… and what you can do about it.
