“…Multiple victims have been targeted by attackers by using different enhanced techniques [29]. Even with increased concern of risk, in this research work on social engineering illustrate the attacks which are possible by reverse social engineering [30], phishing [31], or direct attacks, when users account hacks to theft, confidential private data may be used for other purpose [32], or user profile link with across the multiple social network [33] might be possible of social engineering attacks on their personal or organization data. Social engineering attackers usually trap the victims.…”

Nowadays, users value their privacy of information is more than money but the Online Social Network is creating new platforms for cybercrime to intimidate innocent users of countries because of the privacy pitfalls in the present traditional centralized architecture like Facebook, WhatsApp, and Twitter, Instagram, and many more. Third-party apps and malicious attackers breach innocent users' private information, especially adolescent users for their personal purpose. Many Asian countries have no special data protection laws like a European. The main objectives of this research paper are to study the different types of privacy attacks for data confidentiality in the Online Social networks with analyzed mitigation techniques and discussed future proposed work on how to control and detect the user’s private information from unreliable people. Even then, few privacy destructions are unresolved!

“…Cyber attackers aim not only at finding software and technical vulnerabilities but also end user's weaknesses. 6 In the current digital era, social networking sites are becoming a precious source of data about the target user such as his/her likes, dislikes, check-ins, friends etc. 6,29 Thus, this increases the need for awareness and education of the end users.…”

The previous year has seen an enormous increase in the studies related to social engineering. This increase is partly due to increasing number of social engineering attacks and partly due to people's inability to identify the attack. Thus, it is of great importance to find solutions which are helpful for human to understand the social engineering attacks and scenarios. To address this, we have performed a literature review of studies (on social engineering) in top-notch journals and conferences. In this paper, we have enlisted the types of attacks, and the persuasion techniques used by social engineers as listed in the literature. We also combined different theories which researchers tried to use to explain various activities of social engineers. Furthermore, we have mentioned that a better understanding of the social engineering attack scenarios can be done using thematic and game-based analysis techniques.Preliminary empirical evaluation of the proposed game based method shows overall neutral results. Future extension and evaluation is needed for the proposed methods. K E Y W O R D Scybercrime, cyber-security, human factors, human-centered, information security, review, social engineering

“…Through social networking sites (SNSs), social engineers can execute direct attacks, such as social networks phishing [7], and reverse social engineering [8], or indirect attacks, when the victims' social network accounts are hijacked to collect information that facilitates subsequent attacks in other contexts. For example, determining employees' personal information through tracking their online footprints in social networking sites [9], or by linking employees' profiles across multiple SN channels [10] which can facilitate successful social engineering attacks on their company.…”

Social engineering is a growing source of information security concern. Exploits appear to evolve, with increasing levels of sophistication, in order to target multiple victims. Despite increased concern with this risk, there has been little research activity focused upon social engineering in the potentially rich hunting ground of social networks. In this setting, factors that influence users’ proficiency in threat detection need to be understood if we are to build a profile of susceptible users, develop suitable advice and training programs, and generally help address this issue for those individuals most likely to become targets of social engineering in social networks. To this end, the present study proposes and validates a user-centric framework based on four perspectives: socio-psychological, habitual, socio-emotional, and perceptual. Previous research tends to rely on selected aspects of these perspectives and has not combined them into a single model for a more cohesive understanding of user’s susceptibility.
