It's all about hacking people
Criminal hackers found out a long time ago that it can be easier to hack people than heavily protected computer systems. Phishing, CEO Fraud or Investment Fraud are just a few attack types that use social engineering techniques to manipulate people into disclosing information or giving money.
Social engineering is the psychological manipulation of people into performing actions or divulging confidential information. It differs from a traditional "con" in that it is often one of many steps in a more complex fraud scheme. (wikipedia.org)
