Hunter Carr is an accountant with AcctSmart. The firm has a very strict policy of requiring all users to change their passwords every sixty days. In early March, Hunter received an e-mail claiming that there had been an error updating his password and it provided Hunter with a link to a website with instructions for re-updating his password. Something about the e-mail made Hunter suspicious, so he called AcctSmart's information technology department and found that the e-mail was fictitious. The e-mail was an example of

• social engineering.

• piggybacking.

• spamming.

• phishing.
