Quid Pro Quo Quid pro quo is a Latin phrase that meaning “something for something.” In this technique, attackers keep calling random numbers within a company, claiming to be calling from technical support. This is a baiting technique where attackers offer their service to end-users in exchange of confidential data or login credentials. For example, an attacker gathers random phone numbers of the employees of a target organization. They then start calling each number, pretending to be from the IT department. The attacker eventually finds someone with a genuine technical issue and offers their service to resolve it. The attacker can then ask the victim to follow a series of steps and to type in the specific commands to install and launch malicious files that contain malware designed to collect sensitive information
