Social Engineering

Above is a presentation given at DEFCON 15 (world's largest hacker convention) on social engineering.

This can be done through causal conversation or cold calling a prospective mark. I HIGHLY recommend watching this video to get you started on learning about most thieves procure most of the details they need to get inside and steal your resources.
