Abstract

There are several techniques available to a hacker for infringe the information from persons using social networks. The human approach often called “Social Engineering” and is almost the most difficult one to handle. The hackers of today are using a hybrid approach combining social networking techniques and hacking methodologies to gain unauthorized access to computer systems. In general, the user is easy to fool—and that is why so many people get infected. Even if user knows about security, and knows that he have to be careful on the internet, no one is safe when something is really targeted at you. This paper describes some common Social Engineering techniques and their impact on the Medical Security. This paper describes the ways to protect the images or data from being tempered. It also discusses innovative ways for us to construct and utilizes scenarios for social engineering tests, and provides key strategies for successfully defeating these attacks.
