A colleague of mine is writing a book chapter with Kevin Mitnick about social engineering and psychology. The way the chapter and information is presented is through an example of how Mitnick stole the source code for the Motorola MicroTac Ultra Lite by basically calling and sweet-talking or impersonating staff at Motorola from the comfort of his own home.
Considering this was at the time, extremely top of the line software that was protected by, among other things, a token system using activation codes that change every 60 seconds, how safe would you say information is at your place of residence.

So you're asking how hard would it be for a complete stranger to get information we have access to? Depends on the information they're trying to acquire. My job in particular, pretty hard.

If the someone is me, VERY easy.
If it was someone else in the company, moderately hard.
If it was someone outside the company, fairly difficult.
Anything that gets thrown out that is on paper, gets cross cut shredded. We don't hand out ANY information over the phone and emails are pretty well regulated as well. No vendor comes into our place un-escorted and they are watched.

Correct, I should have specified.

let's assume it's the most sensitive information available on an important upcoming or current project.

Someone who doesn't work for the company? Very difficult.

Do you ever have PEN tests or whatever they call them? Security testing? If so, how does that generally go? My impression is that they always always always get through whatever security is in place.

This thread begs the question: do the "women" of ACF use a funnel to get that much sand in their vagina or do they just slide around the beach like an angry Roomba? -deadcactus-
