Recently I walked in the executive level of a building and sat in the presidents conference room by just saying I was there to do a quote for pest control.

In another job I roamed a warehouse containing millions of dollars worth of mercy by stating i was there to inspect the trash bins.

It is unfortunately, very easy. People feel weird asking questions, especially if you are friendly and nice. People don't want to be rude.

Great question. Thank you. Depends on the type of attack. But let me first say that critical thinking is key in staying safe, as well as education.

With Phish: Hover over link, don't click suspicious, don't reuse passwords With Vish: If the call gets suspicious don't be afraid to say "I DONT KNOW" With impersonation: Always ask to see badges. Don't let people tailgate.

There are plenty more but just a few tips here.

Kidding, there is no benefit in me doing that, but thanks for the laugh

Oh i like this question a lot. Yes I hear this a lot with clients. So lets use Target breach as an example. Yes, true, your credit card company will make you whole financially… but what about the phishing emails and scam calls afterwards? Smart scammers are not going for the quick win of a few dollars on your CC, they want the long hall. Opening credit accounts, loans, visas, passports, stealing your identity… sure you are doing nothing wrong, but you can be a victim.
