Pretexting is a method that hackers use to obtain your personal information or access to your systems by deception.
👻 Hackers often pretend to be someone else to obtain your information.

⚠️ Pretexting is a serious security threat. It is important to be vigilant and not trust unfamiliar people or organizations.

Alt-text: A manga-style comic about a hacker who uses pretexting to gain access to a company's network. The hacker pretends to be a technician from the company's IT department and calls the company's secretary. The secretary gives the hacker the password to the company's network, and the hacker uses it to gain access to the company's confidential data.
