Do not get confused with the concept "outsider." While the true outside hackers get the headlines, the far more prevalent form of social engineering in conducted by one employee on another employee.  Assessing social engineering vulnerabilities, is the ‘game of knowledge’ crops up time and time again. In almost every scam there is this game – it’s about the only thing consistent between the different formats of social engineering attacks.  To be of any use for security protection you have to think like a ‘real social engineer,’ you need to understand the brazen dedication these people have to being rogue — forget some American retail giant and look closer to home.”
