An attacker will attempt to emotionally hijack a person in order to obtain sensitive information once this information is gathered. Most generally, individual data will be utilized to get to online records, passwords, and passage into got regions at work.
Sadly, many organizations fail to remember that the initial step of “hacking” any association starts with the human, first.
