If You Think Social Engineering Is Bad, It's Going To Get Worse

There is no other way to say it clearer, social engineering is going to be a lot, lot worse soon and far more successful than it is today. And that's saying a lot. It's already pretty bad.
As I've been touting for over 20 years.in hundreds of articles.social engineering is involved in more successful data breaches than any other single hacker method. Social engineering is involved in 70% - 90% of all successful data breaches, and any other source telling you differently is not counting the entire population of the world or is co-mingling or sorting attack categories incorrectly.
