ABSTRACT

It is well-known that criminals have many ways of illegally accessing ATM card to retrieve money in account of legitimate users. In this paper, brief overviews of the possible fraudulent activities that may be associated with social engineering were provided. Security measures to guide against such
problem were also provided. One hundred questionnaires were distributed to respondents; Fig.3 in appendix illustrates the respondents’ views in percentage. More so, Table 4 shows the chi-square distribution. Hence, from this study, it
can be deduce that people are not making themselves vulnerable to social engineering attacks. Finally, social engineering attacks happened on daily basis it, depends on the way it appears to users of the ATM card.
