Explanation:

Social engineering can be defined as an art of manipulating people, especially the vulnerable to divulge confidential information or performing actions that compromises their security.

Basically, it is a manipulative strategy or technique that involves the use of deceptive and malicious activities on unsuspecting victims in order to gain unauthorized access to their confidential or private information for fraud-related purposes. Some examples of social engineering attacks include quid pro quo, spear phishing, baiting, tailgating, water-holing, vishing, pretexting, phishing, etc.

Phishing is an attempt to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card details or bank account details by disguising oneself as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication usually over the internet.

Furthermore, phishing is a type of fraudulent or social engineering attack used to lure unsuspecting individuals to click on a link that looks like that of a genuine website and then taken to a fraudulent web site which asks for personal information.

In conclusion, social engineering being a form of cyber attack is not an advantage of a computer network.
