Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Understanding the question, we are asked to identify a form of social engineering defined by one person lying to obtain confidential data about another.
Option 1: 'Information security plan' — This is a structured set of policies and procedures for protecting information assets, not a tactic used to deceive someone into revealing data. It does not describe a social-engineering lie.
Option 2: 'Dumpster diving' — This involves retrieving discarded information (like documents) from trash. While it can lead to data exposure, it is not primarily about the attacker lying to a target; it’s more about physically obtaining information from discarded materials, so it does not match the described form of social engineering.
Option 3: 'Pretexting' — This is precisely the social-engineering technique in which the attacker creates a fabricated scenario or pretext and lies or deceives the target to obtain confidential data. It directly fits the definition given in the question.
Thus, the option that best fits the description is Pretexting, while the other options describe different concepts or techniques that do not align with the specific form of social engineering described.
