In this particularly riveting episode of the show, Jordan Harbinger interviews Chris Hadnagy, author of Social Engineering: The Art of Human Hacking and curator of Social-Engineer.org, the social-engineering reference on the Web.
Chris and Jordan riff on principles of Social Engineering, how many of us use it in our everyday lives without even knowing it, and how it can be used for both good and evil.
Illustrating these fascinating concepts are stories of social engineering scams and techniques you’ve heard of in the news, and some you haven’t, including stories from Chris’ job as a “penetration tester” for some of the largest companies in the world.
After this episode, you’ll see why even though you may be smart and your company security air-tight, a determined social engineer can still walk in the front door and clean you out.
Don’t miss this one, guys!
