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

### REPLY:
In order to successfully execute a social engineering attack, attackers often rely on gathering personal information about their targets. This can include details such as their names, addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers, or credit card information. By using this sensitive information, attackers can then craft personalized messages or scenarios that appear more legitimate, increasing the chances of their targets falling for the attack.
