THE PROBLEM
Phishing is no longer just about suspicious links — it’s about psychology.
At the heart of modern cybercrime lies social engineering — the art of manipulating human behaviour to gain unauthorized access to systems, data, or finances. It’s subtle, deceptive, and alarmingly effective.
Unlike technical breaches, social engineering targets the human element — often the most vulnerable layer of security. These attacks don’t break in. They walk in through the front door, exploiting trust, urgency, fear, or curiosity.
From impersonating a co-worker in an email to mimicking official bank alerts or urgent messages from “tech support,” attackers know how to push the right buttons. And because these tactics feel familiar and authentic, they often go undetected until it's too late.
As AI makes it easier to clone writing styles, generate fake voices, and personalize messages at scale, social engineering is evolving faster than ever — turning everyday users into unwitting entry points for cybercrime.
Phishing isn't just a technology problem — it’s a human problem. As attacks become more personalized and harder to detect, traditional defences fall short. Individuals, schools, start-ups, and global enterprises alike are at risk.
REAL LIFE EXAMPLE
An alarming example of phishing occurred in July 2020, when hackers gained access to 130 high-profile Twitter accounts, including those of Barack Obama, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates. The attackers used these accounts to run a Bitcoin scam, targeting millions of followers and exposing deep vulnerabilities in even the most secure platforms.
