"The most difficult part of cyber security is the people. You can rewrite code, you can isolate networks, but people like to be helpful and that is all it takes for a hacker to get in"
I was working at ABC distribution hub and the manager was being A major asshole. I mean he was putting me down and talking shit about me and the company I worked for big time So once I was finished. I walked back in and shook his hand apologizing for the inconvenience of the situation While I was there I took one of his business card. I went back to my work van and thought about how I could cause him problems. I then looked up the # for The local electric company. I called and the women asked for the account number. I explained to her that I was moving and all my stuff was in A uhaul and there was no way I could find it after a few minutes. I was transferred to the manager As soon as he started taking to me I realized that they knew each other He asked how my wife and kids were doing and I said they are doing great then I proceeded to tell him that. I was moving to bear creek estates and all my paper work was in the Uhaul. I asked him if he could please turn the electricity off because nobody would be there and I didn’t want something Like a ‘fire’ to occur To my amazement he. Said and I quote “ buddy don’t worry about it I will make the request for termination . It’s been good to hear from you. It’s probably been5 years since I spoke with you last” I thanked him and hung up I was very proud of myself About a week later my boss walked up and said. “ Did you have Mr Warner’s electricity shut off , you know the manager at ABC distribution?” I said “ What, that’s impossible you would have to have the account number to do that!” My boss said. “ yeah you would. Never mind sorry to bother you “. I have never had a better feeling than that because the day i had it turned off was on A Friday. Lol I only did this because, The manager at abc. Distribution was being a real asshole and the stuff he said. Was way out of line. He got what he deserves
This is a great depiction of a very real threat that can not only affects businesses, but also individuals.

If I was that guy, I would have just got my shit, & walked out.

kids today will need to not only be smarter, but also be able to teach their parents and older relatives how to be smarter.
@Nicholas Colonna I agree, I was stupid. But I agree in yr words.
Funny how they use social engineering to sell their shitty insurance here.

social engineering is an action that affects SOCIETY. Not this deflection, lie, disinformation.
