All this is possible based on social engineering to get any useful information through
several ways. Through consistent interaction with some people from your target institution, an
individual can lure the victim to expose the information sought by an attacker (Oriyano, 2013).
In most cases, the women are prone to giving in quickly especially if the attacker is a male
counterpart and eventually they would not have realized when they leaked the data to the
