<p>Social engineering attacks can have serious consequences when it comes to information
security. A social engineering attack aims at sensitive personal information by using personality weaknesses and using manipulation techniques. Because the user is often seen as
the weakest link, techniques like phishing, baiting, and vishing, and deception are used to
glean important personal information successfully. This article will analyze the relationship
between the environment and social engineering attacks. This data consists of 516 people
taking a survey. When it comes to discovering the relationship, there are two parts of the
analysis. One is a high-dimensional analysis using multiple algorithms to find a connection
between the environment and people’s behavior. The other uses a text analysis algorithm to
study the pattern of survey questions, which can help discover why certain people have the
same tendency in the same scenario. After combining these two, we might show how people
have different reactions when dealing with social engineering attacks due to environmental
factors.
