The Role of New Employees in Social Engineering Attacks

Moyer: New employees are especially vulnerable here because they're not familiar with the company's processes. They may think that all these emails from HR are reasonable right you know I'm just a new employee and I just got somebody sending me emails to run the you know click on this link to go sign up for my benefits and it's a malicious link, he says. Moyer also talks about the possibility of a payload that no firewall can stop sending someone a physical DVD or CD with some malicious software on it. And then he says that phase three is once inside and once the people that have been targeted have used the software clicked on the link or installed it whatever they're going to do
