Amit pretend to be Alok who is an employee of an organisation. He calls the system administrator and ask him to change his password. Can you tell what’s type of attack is it?



Answer :

Answer:

Explanation:

When Amit, pretending to be Alok, asks the system administrator to change his password, it resembles a social engineering attack known as "impersonation" or "pretexting." In this scenario, the attacker (Amit) is pretending to be someone else (Alok) to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information or make changes that they wouldn’t normally be permitted to make. Social engineering exploits human psychology rather than technical vulnerabilities to achieve its goals.
