Social engineering is to steal important personal information such as password on the
network by asking,listening in, or peeking user/owner of the network.
one example is asking. July 1998 in the USA, a fourteen-year-old boy hacked into
the Fox affiliate site and rewrite the documents inside the company.he just called to the Fox affiliate's ISP and asked to reset the password. Operator
didn't check his information and just did it according to his offer. As a result, he
hucked the site and stopped the site about 15 hours.
this is one of typical "social engineering".
If the boy abused the website and got personal information from people who used
the Fox affiliate site by rewriting the website, the problem got more larger than it.
