Why Governments Are Vulnerable to Social Engineering Attacks Several factors make government agencies particularly vulnerable to social engineering attacks. The use of outdated legacy systems is one of them. Government IT is antiquated and tends to involve data-transfer standards that are years behind the norm in the private sector. When data moves from one government agency to another or between various different agencies or bureaucracies, it often has to be “manually” transferred via less secure methods like portable temporary storage or email. For cybercriminals, this creates a golden opportunity for very simple methods of theft. Social engineering attacks, rather than boutique malware, have become the primary methods for threat actors targeting government departments.
