+ | In many movies, a heist or other crime is carried out by the criminal(s) posing as some type of repairman or similar. The criminal then gains access to their target through the disguise. This is a form of social engineering. Due to the prevalence of this trope, [[Cueball]] is concerned whenever somebody comes by to ask for access as he believes the person may be planning a crime, and making him a "minor character." | ||

However, gaining physical access to the server allows the criminal to bypass most security features that should prevent unauthorised access to the data (a scenario known as Evil Maid Attack). If the hard disks are not encrypted it is trivial to copy all files - allowing the theft of sensitive information stored on the network. Even if the files are encrypted physical access to the server will allow the attacker to corrupt the system either by installing malware or adding malicious hardware components, which will then allow him to retrieve passwords and/or encryption keys. |
