The document demonstrates real examples of vishing attacks and provides tips for preventing social engineering, such as verifying identities of people requesting information. However, it notes that fully preventing social engineering attacks can be difficult due to human factors.
An XSS attack is a type of vulnerability that allows malicious scripts to be injected into web pages viewed by other users. There are three main types: reflected XSS occurs when a link containing malicious code is clicked; stored XSS injects code directly into a vulnerable website, potentially affecting many users; DOM-based XSS involves injecting code into a website hosted on a user's local system, allowing the attacker to access that user's browser privileges. The document provides examples of how XSS attacks work and can be used to hijack accounts, insert hostile content, steal cookies, and redirect users.
This document provides an overview of topics related to cybercrime and security that will be covered. It lists the team members and topics to be discussed including the history of cybercrime, authenticity, security and privacy, database security, social engineering, cyber attacking methods, and security tips. Database security features like digital certificates, encryption, firewalls, and proxy servers will be explained. Responsibilities of database administrators and built-in database protections will also be covered. Specific cyber attacks such as Trojan horse attacks, backdoors, keyloggers, DDoS attacks, and man-in-the-middle attacks will be described. The document concludes with safety tips and references.
Social engineering-Attack of the Human BehaviorJames Krusic
ย
Social engineering exploits human behavior and trust to gain access to sensitive information. It includes technical attacks like phishing emails and pop-up windows, as well as non-technical attacks like dumpster diving. Common human behaviors exploited include curiosity, fear, and thoughtlessness. To help mitigate social engineering risks, organizations should educate employees, implement security policies, conduct audits, and use technical defenses like email filters and firewalls. Regular awareness training can help motivate employees to follow best practices.
Phishing involves masquerading as a trustworthy entity to steal user credentials and sensitive information. It works by tricking users into entering private details on fake websites or in emails made to look like they came from legitimate sources. Phishing can have serious financial and privacy impacts for victims. Key prevention methods include using antivirus software, firewalls, and caution about unsolicited emails requesting sensitive data.

The blog post on mojoauth.com explains the difference between Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Single Sign-On (SSO) for securing user accounts. MFA involves using multiple methods to verify a user's identity, while SSO allows users to access multiple applications with a single set of login credentials. The post also discusses the pros and cons of each approach and suggests that a combination of both may be the most effective strategy for securing user accounts.
7 Tips for Low Friction Authentication.pdfAndy32903
ย
These slides shows some best practices for organizations to implement low-friction authentication, such as using two-factor authentication, leveraging social identity providers, and ensuring that users have control over their personal data.
Best Practices for Multi-factor authenticationAndy32903
ย
Relying alone on passwords for secure authentication is no longer sufficient, in fact, considered among the weak links in cybersecurity. Multi-factor authentication and its best practice solve this problem as it can effectively block more than 90% of account attacks.
Researcher says 80% of data breaches occur due to weak passwords, stolen credentials, or common passwords.
MFA can solve this problem, as it combats attacks like dictionary passwords, brute-force, phishing, etc., using common, stolen, or weak credentials. Organizations using password-based authentication can implement MFA as their first step toward better security, and while implementing it, they should ensure multi-factor authentication(MFA) best practices.

Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics
10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, โThe Coding War Games.โ
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we donโt find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?

Dictionary Attacks
The attacker uses a pre-computed list of words and
phrases (known as a โdictionaryโ) to guess a
password.
To protect yourself from dictionary attacks, use
strong and unique passwords for all of your accounts
and regularly update your passwords to prevent
them from being discovered.

3. 02
The attacker uses a program to systematically try
every possible combination of characters until the
correct password is found.
To protect against brute force attacks, it is important
to use strong and unique passwords that are long and
contain a mix of letters, numbers, and special
characters.
Brute Force Attacks

4. 03
The attacker gains access to a database and uses a
pre-computed table of hashes (the result of a one-
way mathematical function applied to a password) to
crack a password quickly.
To protect against rainbow table attacks, it is
important to use strong and unique passwords that
are long and contain a mix of letters, numbers, and
special characters.
Rainbow Table Attacks

5. 04
The attacker uses psychological techniques to trick a
user into revealing their password. This can be done
through phone calls, emails, or in-person interactions.
To protect against social engineering attacks, it is
important to be skeptical of unsolicited requests for
personal information and to verify the identity of
anyone who asks for your password or other sensitive
information.
Social Engineering Attacks

6. 05
The attacker uses a program to try a single password
against a large number of different accounts.
To protect against password spraying attacks, it is
important to use strong and unique passwords for
each account, and to avoid using commonly used
passwords

8. Man-in-the-middle Attack
07
The attacker intercepts communication between the
victim and a legitimate website. The attacker then
acts as a โmiddlemanโ between the victim and the
website, allowing them to capture the victimโs
password as they enter it.
To protect against Man-in-the-middle (MITM)
attacks, it is important to use secure communication
protocols, such as HTTPS, that encrypt the
communication between two parties and make it
difficult for an attacker to intercept and modify

9. 08
The attackers use stolen usernames and passwords
to gain unauthorized access to user accounts on
various websites and online services.
To protect against these attacks, companies can
implement measures such as rate limiting, which
restricts the number of login attempts from a single
IP address, and captcha verification, which requires
users to prove that they are human before logging in.
Credential Stuffing
Swipe left
www.mojoauth.com
10. 09
The attacker tricks users into providing sensitive
information, such as passwords, by disguising the
attacker as a trustworthy entity.
To protect against phishing password attacks, it is
important for users to be cautious when providing
their password, and to never enter it on a website
unless they are sure it is legitimate. They should also
avoid clicking on links in suspicious emails, and
instead go directly to the website in question by
typing the address into their browser.
