Social Engineering, Countering The Threat

Would You Buy A Used Monument From This Man?

"Count" Victor Lustig, con-man and Social Engineer, famously sold the Eiffel Tower. Twice.

Like accomplished Social Engineers of today, he was meticulous in his planning, thorough in his research, had an excellent understanding of human nature. He managed all of this without Google, FaceBook, Twitter, or his own printer back in 1925. Modern Social Engineers have it easy. What scams would Victor (real name Robert Miller) have to his name if he was around today? Which world leader, CEO, or politicians would be his victims?

360is have written a short guide to defending against modern social engineering attacks, and are now introducing our social engineering services to clients and partners by means of a presentation. If you are concerned that a modern day Lustig may find your organisation and its information assets easy prey, then we can help. Get in touch.

New "Resources" Page

The amount of 360is articles, whitepapers, software, and interviews has grown to such a degree this year that we have decided to collect them all in one place for easy reference. The 360is Resources section is the place to go for all this information, freely provided by our experienced consultants. Over the coming months look out for new material.
