Social engineering represents a sophisticated manipulation technique that coerces individuals into performing actions or divulging confidential information against their interests. It exploits human vulnerabilities rather than technological flaws, as dramatically illustrated by the Rotherham case from 1997 to 2013, where predators exploited over 1,400 children using simple lures like ice cream, car rides, alcohol, and marijuana. These simple tricks underscore the technique's potency in manipulating human behaviour for appalling ends. Social engineering can also be used to gain important information.
