Enabling and Disabling USER Account on Active Directory

Social Engineering in Cyber Security

William recently became curious about how his new Active Directory account worked. Out of curiosity, he shared his username and password with a friend and asked them to log in using his account on a separate computer.
At the same time, William logged in to his own account from his Windows 10 Pro client PC, while his friend logged in using the same credentials on a different machine running Windows 11 Enterprise.

Chris, the system administrator, noticed suspicious activity while reviewing the Active Directory security logs. He detected that William’s account was logged in simultaneously from two different client PCs, which violated company security policies.

As a precautionary security measure, Chris immediately disabled William’s Active Directory account to prevent further unauthorised access. Upon investigation, it was determined that William had used social engineering by persuading another person to log in on his behalf using his credentials.
This incident highlighted the importance of proper credential handling and reinforced the organisation’s security policies regarding account sharing and unauthorised access.
Thanks for watching.
