Social Engineering on Crypto - ManakaJunpei - 07-19-2020
So, me and my friend (Who I won't name for obvious reasons)
Have made multiple websites (he codes) with "games" on them TL;DR they are ponzi's offering 5 or 10% of your investment back everyday
We host giveaways and make whitepapers with a fake roadmap for the website, we then release the product and get thousands of dollars invested which we scoop up after a couple days, it may sound easy but manipulating 100's or even 1000's of people requires confidence and the ability to take charge I just realized this was Social Engineering as we did it naturally without thinking
Thought I'd share an experience in SE that you might not see a lot.
PS because it's on crypto you can easily get away with staying anonymous.
Always open for questions o7

"Confidence" and being In "control", are two key elements that are an Integral part of every social engineering attack vector. Ultimately, they play a significant role In determining where the SE Is heading and Its outcome.
I enjoyed reading your experience, thank you.
