The Art of Deception (Kevin Mitnick)

"The Art of Deception" by Kevin Mitnick explores how skilled hackers and social engineers manipulate human behavior to bypass security systems. Mitnick shares real-world cases where attackers use psychological tricks—like pretending to be trusted individuals—to gain access to sensitive information or systems. The book emphasizes that the greatest security vulnerability often lies in human trust rather than technology. It offers insights into how organizations can recognize and defend against these tactics through awareness and training, highlighting the importance of critical thinking and skepticism in protecting digital assets.
