social engineering failed?
Nov. 17th, 2009 05:12 pmA guy comes in to our corner, and approaches our nice QA:
- "Hi, I'm ***, I'm a contractor doing this and that... Lucy, can you grant me access to sharepoint so I could see the test plans?"
- "Sorry, I cannot".
Second round.
- "Oh, you know, to grant me access, you should first file a ticket with Tim, and he knows who I am and will decide; so please file the ticket for the access".
Now we all are advising Lucy not to be so gullible and bounce the issue up to the managers; give them some food for thought.
