Pulling Back the Curtain: How Hackers Hack People (Not Just Computers)

Learn how hackers manipulate human behaviour to access sensitive information in this interactive session.

Social engineering is a key threat in today’s digital world. Attackers don’t just write malicious code, they use psychological techniques to deceive people, gain access to personal information, and influence behaviour.

This session explores how these attacks work and the common tactics used. You’ll learn how to recognise social engineering attempts, understand real-world examples, and develop practical strategies to protect yourself.
