Social engineering is the manipulation and exploitation of human psychology to trick others into disclosing sensitive information or taking activities that could jeopardize security. Social engineering is a technique that involves manipulating and deceiving individuals or groups in order to persuade them to expose secret information or engage in actions that are harmful to their business.
