Social engineering attacks are scams that target people, not machines. Instead of breaking through firewalls, attackers exploit human psychology, using trust, fear or urgency to trick their victims into opening the door. They often start as something routine, and the best isn’t software — it’s awareness. 

Ransomware attacks can lock you out of your files, your device or even threaten to publish sensitive data unless a ransom is paid. These attacks don’t just target large corporations — students, faculty and staff are all potential victims. The good news? With awareness and preparation, you can greatly reduce your risk.
