Social Engineering is still about
The lengths spammers go through. I employ a spam scanner (open source on the email system), and part of what I use sends a canned auto message that includes my work number that more or less states call this number of the email block is in error. So even after work I monitor things at work and if errors are made make adjustments to unblock email address. So I get a request from reception to remove a block from a user that is a number at an account to a domain that cannot be found. Her excuse was I am attempting to send my resume from and address on your web site. This is about the 10th call I've had yes spammers do call me always with the excuse of I'm sending a resume, via voice mail or through actual telephone conversations with reception who email me. Most emails I send to these address do in fact go through but the domain search fails. My email to them please fax your resume I was not able to confirm your domain name. Looks like the spammers see the hand writing on the wall and do have the nerve to attempt to call leave voice mails or social engineeer events by simply calling the telephone number. I posted this just for those new fresh network admins.
I believe that one of the characteristics of the human race - possibly the one that is primarily responsible for its course of evolution - is that it has grown by creatively responding to failure.- Glen Seaborg
