interesting read that absolutely no social hacking involved to get personal information.

My firm did a test in relation to social engineering to get passwords recently. They stood outside a coffee shop in a business district and asked benign questions about their work, how they found working there, length of their working week, etc. Except the last question was "What is your email/login password?" Well over 50% completed that question. :rolleyes:
