In this episode we explore the psychology behind social engineering, the cyber-crime technique that targets people rather than technology. 

From phishing emails to impersonation scams, we look at how attackers exploit trust, urgency, authority and curiosity to manipulate human behaviour. Through conversation and reflection, the episode examines why these tactics work so effectively, what they reveal about human decision-making, and how greater awareness can help individuals and organisations recognise and resist manipulation in an increasingly digital world.
