What is a description of "phishing" as a social engineering attack?
A
Fake Social Security Administration personnel contact random individuals, inform them that there has been a computer problem on their end, and ask that those individuals confirm their Social Security Number, all for the purpose of committing identity theft.
B
A hacker, masquerading as a trusted entity, dupes a victim into opening an email, instant message, or text message. The recipient is then tricked into clicking a malicious link.
C
The attacker focuses on creating a good pretext, or a fabricated scenario, that is used to try and steal victims' personal information.
D
Someone without the proper authentication follows an authenticated employee into a restricted area. The attacker might impersonate a delivery driver and wait outside a building to get things started.
