Sie ist hübsch, Single und ihre Nachrichten sind so aufregend wie ihre blonde Mähne. Und ehe sich der Empfänger ihrer Freundschaftsanfrage auf Facebook versieht, schreiben sie sich ununterbrochen kurze, verführerische Nachrichten. An manchen Tagen auch lange, sehr intime E-Mails. Es ist echt verrückt, wie viel er und seine zufällige Online-Bekanntschaft gemeinsam haben. Er fühlt sich geborgen und zum ersten Mal seit Jahren aufrichtig verstanden. Und das, obwohl sie sich noch nie persönlich begegnet sind. Manche Menschen führt das Schicksal zusammen – und andere fallen auf einen Betrüger herein. Das ist Social Engineering.

Wie Sie es Angreifern mit Sicherheits-Technologie ein Stück schwieriger machen können, erläutern Ihnen gerne unsere Kollegen:
