ABSTRACT
Organizations invest heavily in technical controls for their Information Assurance (IA) infrastructure.
These technical controls mitigate and reduce the risk of damage caused by outsider attacks. Most
organizations rely on training to mitigate and reduce risk of non-technical attacks such as social
engineering. Organizations lump IA training into small modules that personnel typically rush through
because the training programs lack enough depth and creativity to keep a trainee engaged. The key to
retaining knowledge is making the information memorable. This paper describes common and emerging
attack vectors and how to lower and mitigate the associated risks.
KEY WORDS
Security Risks, Phishing, Social Engineering, Cross Site Scripting, Emerging Attack Vectors, DNS poising.
1. INTRODUCTION
Phishing is a social engineering technique that is used to bypass technical controls implemented
to mitigate security risks in information systems. People are the weakest link in any security
program. Phishing capitalizes on this weakness and exploits human nature in order to gain access
to a system or to defraud a person of their assets.
FEDERATION – GUIDANCE FOR OVERHEAD AND STAFF USERS
————————————————–
July 23 1995
Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi! – and welcome to Federation. This document is intended to provide
guidance for overhead and staff account holders on AOL who are playing
Federation (referred to as OHs in this document).
As an OH playing Federation you are in a privileged position, because
we do not get paid for your usage. Because you are in a position of
privilege, you have obligations to AOL and the Federation team that paying
players do not.
At the moment, we allow any OH to play Fed, but bear in mind that if your
presence in Fed starts to cause us problems then you will be locked out of
the game, and if we get too many problems with OHs we will simply stop all
OHs from playing.
