Piggybacking

A human-based social engineering technique, it is when the attacker/bad actor tags along with another person who is authorized to gain entry into a restricted area or pass a certain checkpoint
Bad Actor: Approaches the entrance of a restricted building with their arms full, pretending to be an employee. Victim: Swipes their access card to enter the building. Bad Actor: Quickly shows their fake access card to the Victim and asks them to hold the door.

Victim: Unaware of the Bad Actor’s true intentions, holds the door for them. Bad Actor: Gains unauthorized access to the building.
