 Social engineering is a tactic individuals use to gather information about you without your knowledge. If you're being targeted by social engineers, here are some ways to prevent them from gathering information. It's just a matter of being vigilant. If people are asking you questions about work that just seem out of the ordinary, chances are they probably shouldn't be asking those questions. That should raise a red flag and you should probably think about not sharing that type of information. And again, if you have any type of security clearance, you're required to go report that type of elicitation or solicitation for information. Yeah, it's just a matter of being vigilant and just start thinking about what you're saying to somebody. You should know these people that you're talking to.
