Social engineering is also called social hacking or social cracking. It is one of the ways that hacker and cracker use. The purpose is illegal access to the computers. There are many “social” ways to get important information that are related to the security such as passwords. Those people will not use technical ways to get this important information. For example, they search memo that has personal information in trash boxes, look password secretly when someone entering the password, pretend system manager and deceive user, and so on. In order to success to get information, it is said that hackers must forget themselves and it is important to believe they are not a hacker.
Not enough identification and loose guard to the secret information in the office will lead to the secret leaked out.
