While internships are a great way to get a "foot in the door" at a company, these interns' social
media habits could be helping hackers get a foot in the door as well through inadvertent insider attacks. Younger generations tendency to overshare on social media, combined with lax security training as part of the internship onboarding, is a recipe for disaster when it comes to security. Couple that with the fact that interns are a blind spot in most companies’ security policies; and hackers will use that to their advantage for social engineering.
