There Is No Patch For Stupidity.

When I Was In Prison, A Colombian Drug Lord, Offered Me $5 Million In Cash To Manipulate A Computer System So That He Would Be Released. I Turned Him Down.

Oracle, For Example, Has Even Hired People To Dumpster Dive For Information About Its Competitor, Microsoft. It's Not Even Illegal, Because Trash Isn't Covered By Data Secrecy Laws.

For The Average Home-user, Anti-virus Software Is A Must.

Both Social Engineering And Technical Attacks Played A Big Part In What I Was Able To Do. It Was A Hybrid. I Used Social Engineering When It Was Appropriate, And Exploited Technical Vulnerabilities When It Was Appropriate.

Social Engineering Is Using Deception, Manipulation And Influence To Convince A Human Who Has Access To A Computer System To Do Something, Like Click On An Attachment In An E-mail.
