[5/5] #Phishing can be used as part of a #Pretexting attack as well. Although #Pretexting is designed to make future attacks more successful, #Phishing involves impersonating someone using #Email messages or texts. Source Article: https://t.co/15hTgI7lZG

[4/5] To make the #Pretexting more believable, they may wear a badge around their neck with the #Vendor’s logo. The disguise is a key element of the pretext. Also, because of #Pretexting, #Attacker can easily send believable phishing #Emails to anyone they form a relation with.

[3/5] However, according to #Pretexting meaning, these are not pretexting attacks. #Pretexting is to make actions for future #Social engineering attack more successful. Ex:By dressing up as someone from Third-Party vendor, #Attacker can pretend to have a meeting in the Company.

[1/5] What Is The Difference Between #Pretexting & #Phishing? The primary difference between #Pretexting & #Phishing is that #Pretexting sets up future #Attack, While #Phishing can be the #Attack itself. In fact, many #Phishing attempts are built around #Pretexting scenarios.

[4/5] In a #Pretexting attack, the #Attacker convincingly presents a story using legitimate-looking #Message formats and #Images (such as #Government logos), tone, and wording. Note that a #Pretexting attack can be done #Online, in person, or over the phone.

What if the Layer 8 Conference also added very affordable 1-2 day training sessions before the conference? Would that be of interest? #OSINT #Pretexting

On the pod, @AletheDenis of @bishopfox talks #socialengineering and how large data breaches are gold mines for #pretexting. Great stuff on why these tactics still work. Very much worth a listen. https://t.co/AkxggfQsZU @Claroty Nexus

Sfruttando la natura (anche percepita) della piattaforma, #LinkedIn è diventato un potente strumento per perpetrare truffe online. Dallo scam (anche sentimentale) agli attacchi informatici, fino al cosiddetto #pretexting https://t.co/w9IpjGTqPC
