Attack Patterns CAPEC-414 — Pretexting via Delivery Person
CAPEC-414

Pretexting via Delivery Person

TLP:CLEAR

Description

Typical severity: Low. An adversary engages in pretexting behavior, assuming the role of a delivery person, to solicit information from target persons, or manipulate the target into performing an action that serves the adversary's interests. Impersonating a delivery person is an effective attack and an easy attack since not much acting is involved. Usually the hardest part is looking the part and having all of the proper credentials, papers and "deliveries" in order to be able to pull it off.
