She thinks he might not be able to refuse an advertisement for “a Wheaten Terrier dog show,” even if he was not sure about the link. Therefore, she creates a phishing advertisement for a show and posts it on the CEO’s timeline. Then, he makes the fatal mistake and clicks on it. While he is at a page full of cute dog photos, taking his attention, NineBall gains access to all the security cameras at the Met. She gets all the required data to make the blind spot by the women’s bathroom. That way, she helped her team steal $ 150 million.
Here you must understand the danger of Social engineering. Perhaps it is not logical enough in the film, because one wonders how a CEO, who works for a large security company, would have made this fatal mistake. Even so, let us admit that an employee who learns little about cybersecurity is considered a weak point.
A potential hacker would not also try to attack a stable security system if he could exploit an inexperienced employee to gain access to all the data he needs in the business. On that basis, as a responsible person in your organization, you need to make sure your team is aware of cybersecurity and Social engineering tricks.
