Social engineering is one of the biggest challenges facing network security because it exploits the natural human tendency to trust. In recent years, cybercriminals have done everything in their power to be innovative. They are taking advantage of every aspect of our lives to develop new social engineering schemes. This paper provides an in-depth survey about the social engineering attacks that took place in Romania in 2019, their classifications, detection strategies, and prevention procedures.
