Description: Rapid technological advancement has not only resulted in a change in the pace of economic development, but also led to increase in cyber-threats. A social engineering attack is one such threat where an attacker not only accesses critical information about a user through technology, but also through manipulation. Although the types of attacks are different i.e. social, physical, technical or socio-technical, the process is the same. This study creates an advanced taxonomy of social engineering attacks with the aim of facilitating the development and implementation of better prevention measures, stressing the importance of organizational awareness.
