Users as attack surface

Can users be leveraged as an attack surface in cyber attacks?

Very much yes! While you and I might not be part of a computer system, our interaction channels create an extended attack surface for cybercriminals to launch attacks.

What are the various channels?

·        Phishing Attacks

·        Weak Passwords

·        Social Engineering

·        Malware and Ransomware

·        Unpatched systems

·        Removable Media
