The words social engineering are used for the act that a person to stole other person's or companies' information that is important for their security. Password or IDs are common objects to stole.
There are several ways to do this as follows:
1. secretly watch from the people's back when they use computers or deal with classified information
2. pretend to be one of the users and ask from administrators of the network
3. search trashcans for documents (even after papers are put in the shredder!)
I guess many of you already have noticed it, but please jump for the web site where you can see an evidence of the spread of social engineering.
