Abstract

This paper is intended to discuss an emerging threat vector which combines social engineering and technology. Utilizing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) convenience combined with electronic mail phishing techniques, "Vishing" has the potential to be a highly successful threat vector. Vishing victims face identity theft and/or financial fraud. The goal of this paper is to illustrate how the attack can be carried out in order to increase information security awareness. The discussion will contain documentation from actual events (to display the threat as current), proof-of concept (to demonstrate ease of execution), and theoretical arguments (to discuss the possible future impact).
