Stance: Social media- a tool of social engineering


Before i start proper, i would like to give us a preamble of what the topic says by defining a few keyword.

Social Media: Websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.
Social Engineering: Social engineering is the art of manipulating people so they give up confidential information.

The types of information these criminals are seeking can vary, but when individuals are targeted the criminals are usually trying to trick you into giving them your passwords or bank information, or access your computer to secretly install malicious software–that will give them access to your passwords and bank information as well as giving them control over your computer.
Criminals use social engineering tactics because it is usually easier to exploit your natural inclination to trust than it is to discover ways to hack your software. For example, it is much easier to fool someone into giving you their password than it is for you to try hacking their password (unless the password is really weak).

Your employees are on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Quora, and they are adding personal information to the Web every single day. Most people don’t realize how much personal information is available online. Needless to say, we’ve all become comfortable sharing personal tidbits that used to be reserved for private, face-to-face conversations. This is the kind of fodder that social engineers rely on to launch an attack. A simple search of spokeo.com or any other of a number of sites will pull the wool off of anyone’s eyes really quick.

If I were a hacker and wanted to do some recon on a company, I need not look any further than the social sites of their employees. I can use that information to launch a social engineering attack on their company. Here’s how a common scenario might play out:

Let’s assume I am a malicious person and I want to obtain all the user account data and records for a particular organization. Their physical security is relatively good, and I have failed at high level attempts to get any kind of employee information. I have nothing. That’s fine. Let’s hop on LinkedIn and do a company search for this organization. Easy enough – I now have a list of potential targets, their job titles, employment histories, education history, affiliated organizations, business contacts and in some cases their pictures. Big deal you say? This type of information is invaluable when profiling your targets. With the information here, I can narrow down a few targets based on what I am trying to find, pull up more intimate information regarding their family, friends and hobbies on Facebook and have a very specific profile on the potential targets. Armed with this information, it would be easy to spoof a text message from a business contact or spouse asking them to visit a website containing malware and exploits. I could use their hobby information to entice them to click a link or open an attachment from a carefully crafted email that allows me to plan a virus. On a more advanced level and far more nefarious level, I could build a geolocation profile from embedded location information in posts and photos. Then all I have to do it wait for someone to work at a coffee shop and step away from their briefcase for a moment to slip in a USB drive loaded with auto-executable binaries that they’ll eventually plug in to a computer. This all sounds very “Mission Impossible” but I assure you, it’s highly possible and happens enough to pay attention.

Common social engineering attacks
Phishing attempts. Typically, a phisher sends an e-mail, IM, comment, or text message that appears to come from a legitimate, popular company, bank, school, or institution.

These messages usually have a scenario or story:
The message may explain there is a problem that requires you to "verify" of information by clicking on the displayed link and providing information in their form. The link location may look very legitimate with all the right logos, and content (in fact, the criminals may have copied the exact format and content of the legitimate site). Because everything looks legitimate, you trust the email and the phony site and provide whatever information the crook is asking for. These types of phishing scams often include a warning of what will happen if you fail to act soon, because criminals know that if they can get you to act before you think, you’re more likely to fall for their phish.

The message may notify you that you’re a ’winner’. Maybe the email claims to be from a lottery, or a dead relative, or the millionth person to click on their site, etc. In order to give you your ’winnings’ you have to provide information about your bank routing so they know how to send it to you, or give your address and phone number so they can send the prize, and you may also be asked to prove who you are often including your Social Security Number. These are the ’greed phishes’ where even if the story pretext is thin, people want what is offered and fall for it by giving away their information, then having their bank account emptied, and identity stolen.

The message may ask for help. Preying on kindness and generosity, these phishes ask for aid or support for whatever disaster, political campaign, or charity is hot at the moment.

And I wrote Jamb and scored 218, I applied for computer science, it's there any chance I'll be admitted? I'm from Benue by the way... Thank you

post ume is late second semester, which should be late August or early September.

COSC is a very very competitive course, which undoubtedly should be the most sort after in Faculty of Science, your score is okay....not too good though, work up on your p.ume to stand a chance because Benue is among topmost competitive states.


Goodluck

Krasid:
The problem is that you are more concerned about your rival's failure than your team's success which is very bad.

naa, I ain't, else I'd have been jubilating only two los blancos made it, meanwhile, I was actually surprised

Krasid:
Instead of acknowledging the fact that your team has 9 players including a fraud like Busquets, you are more concerned with how many player Madrid has.

yea!!!!


till Madrid ceases to be my rival club, then I can worry about how many Athletico players made it

dmcdad:
Images: 10 Barcelona players included in 17-player "Champions League squad of the season".

Ehen the Euphoria of yesterday has reduced, so let me write my season story(it's quite long ohh, I even had to summarize it sef)........

New coach, new signings, new season....
It started well, we were winning(though not with high margins and not very convincing), clean sheets streaks, different lineup for every match , Neymar was our highest goal scorer , Munir and co, news that Suarez was fat ....... bla bla bla!

Then we played Madrid(We lost that due to very silly mistakes)..... PSG won us next.... We couldn't beat the big boys and we now lost to Celta again, making it 3 losses in a row! The pitch forks were out, we were all frustrated witg Lucho (I still had faith in him that time)


Suarez came back, but he was so out of depth, he fluffed the simplest of chances, he later started giving assists. ....... Then we played PSG again, and that was the best game for that half.... we ended the year on a good note!

Oyaaaa.... New year came with a bang! We were to play our nemesis - Real Sociedad, when the lineup 1st came out, there was serious buzz! I couldn't believe my eyes - Messi and Neymar were to start on the bench It was a silly decision by Enrique - You shouldn't easily give people an excuse to heap blames on you! We lost the match, and World war 3 started, there was war on social media, I wonder how the atmosphere was in barcelona city! #LuchoOut was trending for days I lost hope in him!
Talking about those who lost hope in Lucho - It was not really a bad thing, we are humans and we have emotions! We were just coming back from a trophyless season, before the trophyless season, we were trashed 7-0 by Bayern, things were not working out fine this season, it seemed like we were heading for doom and to make it more painful - Madrid were in Cloud 9, scattering anybody who came their way, wining trophies. ...... sigh! We all had the right to lose hope in him!

It was now time to meet the team that deprived us of 2 trophies - Atletico Madrid. ..... Can we beat them, or will it end in a draw, or will they even win us? Those were the thoughts of Cules! When the match started, the whole world was shocked - We were playing with so much speed and energy, it was astonishing! Atletico Madrid couldn't cope with the tactical shock! That was the beginning of our success story!

We played them 2 more times and still won..... we were now getting attention in Europe, MSN was becoming popular! .. ..And Madrid were crashing down, they were been brought down to earth In a shocking manner!

We Lost to Malaga before the match against man city, there was really no fuss, but some people said Man city will win, But we won with style, we reduced Man city to rubbish!

And that was how we crushed everyone who came - Madrid, PSG, Bayern and finally Juventus!

Yes we won the treble, Congrats to everyone!

rushy abi na hasty conclusion!!
