Audiobook description
In his book How to Hack a Human: Cybersecurity for the Mind, security expert Raef Meeuwisse defines social engineering as
...the act of constructing relationships, friendships or other human interactions for the purpose of enticing the recipient to perform an inadvisable action or reveal secret information.
In cybersecurity terms, this means preying on our emotional responses to make us voluntarily compromise our own security.
