Social Engineering TTPs

“Human behavior is not going to change significantly year after year.” In our latest podcast episode, Robby is joined by Rob Shapland, ethical hacker and Director at Cyonic Cyber, to explore how social engineering works in practice today. Despite advances in technology, social engineering remains an effective attack method. Whether it is a convincing email, a friendly conversation, or a well-timed request to the support desk, attackers continue to exploit human trust. In this episode, we discuss how social engineering tactics have evolved and what still stays the same, how new tools are making attackers more effective, and real-world stories, including how many buildings Rob has gained access to during his career so far. Rob will also be speaking at mnemonic’s annual conference, C2 Summit, this May. Check out the program and see if you should join us as well: mnemonic.io/c2-summit-2026 Send us Fan Mail
