Meet The **Doppelgänger!** This is a cyber trickster who doesn’t hack computers. He hacks people. Through emails, texts, phone calls, or even face-to-face conversations, social engineers use trust, fear, and urgency to trick you into giving up passwords, clicking links, or letting them in the door.

They might impersonate a coworker, a vendor, or even IT support — anything to make you act fast and skip thinking.

- ##### 🛑 **Stop, Look, Think** before responding to any unexpected message or visitor.
- ##### 📞 **Verify requests** using a known contact method — don’t reply directly to suspicious emails.
- ##### 🔒 **Never share passwords or MFA codes.** IT will never ask for them.
- ##### 🚷 **Report anything suspicious** to IT or your site tech team immediately.
