third (sarcasm). I don't think the bar with social engineering has moved NEARLY as much as cyber security has. It's practically impossible to keep a computer secure, but very easy not to be duped by strangers on a social level.

Hell, getting the last four digits of someone's credit card number might be as simple as pulling a receipt they threw away out of the trash.
