Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Social engineering is the art of manipulating people into breaking normal security procedures or divulging confidential information. Humans are tempting targets for those with malicious intent who understand such behavior. One weak spot is the human desire to help others. People routinely pass virus-laden hoaxes along to friends and neighbors, trying to be helpful. Respect for authority is another common human tendency that intruders exploit, relying on uniforms, titles, or just verbal hints that the company president wants something done. Humans are certainly not immune to greed, and scammers tap this human frailty routinely to persuade people to turn over confidential information or money. Ironically, another highly effective bit of social engineering relies on the human desire to avoid malware.
