Social engineering is:

  • A.A website created for people who share common interests.
  • B.Scams distributed through email such as phishing, pharming and impersonation.
  • C.A targeted attack on a personal computer.
  • D.None

Answer: B

Correct answer: Scams distributed through email such as phishing, pharming and spam

Social engineering attacks the person rather than the machine: it persuades someone to give up information or to run something, and email is its usual delivery route. A technical attack on a computer is the opposite approach, and a site for people with shared interests is simply a social network.
