Giving continuity, the first case that I will present is of as to cross the security of a company for the simple act of the lack of information and the curiosity. In as, to substimar an employee it can be the key for its fall. In case that 1Para to get access to a company, a consultant left, propositalmente, a COMPACT DISC in the balcony of the entrance of the building in which it wanted to test the security level. The content of the COMPACT DISC ero archives of text and some spread sheets, however in the way had a program ‘ ‘ trojan’ ‘ for ‘ ‘ pescar’ ‘ sigilosas passwords and information. In the COMPACT DISC the following heading was printed matter: Leaf of Payment Direction – ConfidencialAps to leave the COMPACT DISC it left the building and was waiting in the car with a connection 3G and logado in the site that was ‘ ‘ esperando’ ‘ the information. 8 minutes so that it had access to a machine and, in next the 30 minutes had been enough, already it had more than infectado 100 machines of the company.

This seems cliche of American film, but it happened with a team where I myself was part. For surprise of all it said the following phrase when questioned for the policemen: ‘ ‘ Nobody of value for faxineiro, because many times find even though that they do not know to read, therefore leave drawers opened, confidential papers on the same ones.

Vocs finds that I went to lose the chance? ‘ ‘ I do not go nor to comment the phrase of it. For perhaps in its company also they leave everything ‘ ‘ soltas’ ‘? He is this staff, Social Engineering and Crime, both exist and all attention is little.
