ManTech: October 1

I'm talking up a subject called DIGIFOR or Digital Forensics today every Saturday. There we are discussing all about crimes via internet also known as cyber crimes. Ever wonder how hackers can gather personal information of their victims? Steal their money at bank without a sweat? Or even hacking on a very highly secure bank or military databases? What to know their secrets? Then take DIGIFOR!

Just joking..

They use their speaking abilities or a special method that they call social engineering. Social engineering is a type of communication that hackers used to their victims by asking them simple off topic questions then eventually ending up saying their personal information about them. Here in the Philippines we call them "Budul Budul" were strangers ask friendly question about something and ending up giving your personal belongings. You should know a bit of Hypnotism to do this.

Anyways..

The point is, people today are so gullible and they are allowing themselves to be fooled or scammed whether it is actual or by the use of technology.
