Attack Patterns CAPEC-423 — Influence Perception of Liking
CAPEC-423

Influence Perception of Liking

TLP:CLEAR

Description

Typical severity: Low. Likelihood of attack: Medium. The adversary influences the target's actions by building a relationship where the target has a liking to the adversary. People are more likely to be influenced by people of whom they are fond, so the adversary attempts to ingratiate themself with the target via actions, appearance, or a combination thereof.

Mitigation

An organization should provide regular, robust cybersecurity training to its employees to prevent social engineering attacks.
