How to hack a Board Meeting

Perhaps surprisingly, it doesn't involve computers.
A client recently asked us to gain access to their facility and attend a meeting of the board and executive management. Here at Secure Network we've been asked to gain access to numerous networks via social engineering techniques, but this job seemed rather unachievable at first. Turns out it was easier than we expected.
Good reading, if you like Cloak and Dagger stuff (and who doesn't). Dark Reading has good security stuff. Recommended if that's your bag, baby.

Dress nicely, carry a laptap and a clipboard, tell them you're from IT, go anywhere.

I predicted the content of the story pretty accurately before I read it.

The human factor. It always screws things up. Where humans think secure, things are secure. Where they don't ... it isn't.
