About this listen
Social engineering attacks are becoming more sophisticated, and this episode of The Backup Wrap-up explores real-world tactics through our Mr. Robot series analysis. Curtis and Prasanna examine how social engineering works, from Instagram stalking to phone compromise, and discuss actual ransomware groups like Scattered Spider who use social engineering to impersonate employees and reset passwords. We break down the hospital hacking scene, revealing how underfunded IT departments create vulnerabilities that social engineering attacks exploit. The episode also covers email security, backup system risks, and the Sony hack parallels shown in the series. Learn how to protect your organization from social engineering by understanding what information to keep private, how to properly fund cybersecurity, and why your backup systems need protection from social engineering tactics.
