The problem with security threats is that there are a lot of talks on it but little has been done to improve security. For instance, one of the security features that are commonly used is names and passwords. Passwords allows the system to identify who the authenticate user are to allow them into the system. The problem is that a lot of people never really seriously protect their passwords. Either they never change their passwords or have too many that they couldn’t remember and post it everywhere. Someone who wants to break into the system could easily guess the passwords or could find it post somewhere nearby. It is like locking your door but leaving the key outside somewhere where people could find it. It could be very serious if says, a business, to have files deleted or altered. Even with sophisticated protection tools, to have security assurance, management and employees must work together in term of safeguard measures to protect what’s valuable of the company.

Yes. And a word called "social engineering" is created referring to the action of manipulating people into performing actions or divulging confidential information. For example, you can call the secretary pretending to be some employee's wife and ask for his password. This method, surprisingly, works very well in the past.
