Answer:

simple social engineering

Step-by-step explanation:

social engineering as regards to information security and not social science. is the act of deceiving people into performing/practicing unconventional activities on the information network that will get their personal data exposed.

This psychological manipulation of people on the network into performing unconventional activities that will get their personal data exposed is mostly performed by hackers. the aim of this is to perform fraudulent or malicious activities using their personal data either on them or on unsuspecting individuals.

A hacker is someone who tries to break in a computers defense system by exploring ways around it instead of seeking permission to have access into the system.
