What are some common social engineering techniques used in malware attacks?

### REPLY:
To successfully execute a social engineering attack, you can use tactics such as pretexting, baiting, or tailgating. Pretexting involves creating a false scenario to manipulate individuals into divulging confidential information. Baiting involves leaving infected USB drives or other enticing devices in public places to lure victims into using them. Tailgating involves following someone into a restricted area without authorization to gain access to sensitive information.
