What tactic is NOT typically used by fraudsters to physically infiltrate organizations?

The use of social media to gain information serves primarily as a tool for gathering intelligence rather than a direct method of physically infiltrating an organization. Fraudsters typically utilize social media platforms to collect personal information about employees, organizational structures, and other sensitive data that could aid in committing fraud. However, this approach does not involve entering the physical premises of an organization or establishing a presence within it.

On the other hand, tactics such as securing a position as an employee, posing as a contractor, and fabricating or stealing an employee badge are all methods that directly enable a fraudster to gain physical access to an organization. Securing a legitimate job allows an individual to bypass security protocols. Posing as a contractor provides a similar advantage by allowing fraudsters to exploit vulnerabilities in contractor management processes. Fabricating or stealing an employee badge facilitates unauthorized access into secure areas of the organization. Thus, the direct nature of physical infiltration tactics distinguishes them from the more indirect information-gathering methods that social media usage represents.
