Over the course of several sessions, we explored the world of social engineering \u2014 including ethics, OSINT, pretexting, personas, the role of AI, phishing, and vishing \u2014 culminating in a hands-on mini penetration test.<\/p>\n<p>Our goal was to introduce high school students to cybersecurity through the human side of cybercrime: how attackers manipulate trust, how information is gathered and misused, and how we can defend against it. These students brought their curiosity, energy, and sharp thinking to every challenge.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/care\/files\/2026\/03\/TU_UB_1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4149\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/care\/files\/2026\/03\/TU_UB_1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/care\/files\/2026\/03\/TU_UB_1.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/care\/files\/2026\/03\/TU_UB_1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/care\/files\/2026\/03\/TU_UB_1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/care\/files\/2026\/03\/TU_UB_1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/care\/files\/2026\/03\/TU_UB_1-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students enrolled in the Temple Upward Bound program engaged in a social engineering penetration testing exercise, under the premise that they were hired by the&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/care\/community-outreach\/youth-programming\/tub\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Temple Upward Bound<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2224,"featured_media":0,"parent":3667,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/full-width.php","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4132","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/care\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4132","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/care\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/care\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/care\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2224"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/care\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4132"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/care\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4132\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4152,"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/care\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/4132\/revisions\/4152"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/care\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3667"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.temple.edu\/care\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
