NHS organisations and staff are increasingly being targeted by pretexting scams. Pretexting is a type of social engineering attack where someone pretends to be a trusted person to trick you into sharing information or carrying out an action. These scams aren’t limited to the online world - they can also happen over the phone or in person. For example, a caller might pose as a family member or even a police officer, telling a convincing story to gain your trust and persuade you to hand over sensitive details, such as a telephone number.
