Chaos · Jul 11, 2004, 05:41 PM

In a one on one interview with Kevin Mitnick, we discuss weak links in most companies’ security, what the right balance of social engineering and tech exploits is, and some personal incidents from Kevins own life.

In just less than 20 minutes, we take a look at who generally gets targeted by social engineering schemes, and how social engineering can assist in making a technical exploit work. Mitnick speaks about which industries are at highest risk from social enginerering, and what types of workers are generally easier to talk into doing something for you. Kevin also talks about who his hero’s were when getting into phreaking and computers, as well as a humbling moment when he was on the recieving end of some social engineering.
