Social Engineering — When People Are the Attack Vector

Welcome to The JIMMIA Effect — formerly known as Edification with Jimmia.

In this video, we’re talking about social engineering: what it is, how it works, and how it shows up not only online, but in real life too.

Social engineering isn’t just about hacking systems — it’s about manipulating people. These attacks often start with emails, text messages, phone calls, or even in-person interactions designed to build trust, create fear, or create urgency so you act without thinking.

In this video, you’ll learn:
• What social engineering is in simple terms
• How attackers use phishing, smishing, vishing, and whaling
• Why awareness is the first layer of security
• How boundaries act as security controls in real life
• How to recognize red flags like fear, urgency, and fast trust
• Practical steps you can take to protect yourself online and offline

This channel focuses on cybersecurity and information technology, but always connects it back to real life, personal growth, and self-improvement. The goal is to help you become more informed, more aware, and more confident — whether you’re protecting your personal information or exploring a future career in cybersecurity.
