Abstract Social Engineering from the outset may seem like a topic one might hear when talking about sociology or psychology, when in fact it is a form of identity theft. To an information technology (IT) professional, Social Engineering is a form of voluntary, unintentional identity theft.

security system through social engineering. First, I will define social engineering. People have been victims of social engineer throughout time. The first case of social engineering could be argued was the “Trojan Horse” in ancient times in the Trojan War circa 800 B.C.E. according to Homer’s Iliad (www.ancient.eu) or Kublai Khan’s invasion of China in 1275 A.D to today’s wire fraud emails. This paper will focus on social engineering and remedies for social engineering. Legend has it that
