- mkempe 8y agoHasn't social engineering always been a common aspect of hacking?
- 52-6F-62 8y agoAbsolutely. There's a difference in scale and intent, however. Probably simplifying here... I think the hacking thing always had a bit more of a Robin Hood complex coupled with it. The lone renegades taking on powers and organizations much larger than themselves for entertainment, or acquiring status that they weren't otherwise bestowed. This is powers using it to manipulate other powers, where the price is paid by the people 'Robin Hoods' were never originally out to exploit.
- mygo 8y agocrooks and con men have been doing as such long before digital computers.
- adamnemecek 8y agoSocial engineering is more two sided. You are trying to get something out of these people, like something very concrete. This is more propaganda.
- enraged_camel 8y agoPropaganda also may try to get things out of people: consent, votes, etc.
- paulie_a 8y agoThose people generally don't put it on their resumes, having Facebook on your resume is now something that makes it end up in the trash.
- mygo 8y agoI disagree. I’m looking to recommend that a company I consult for hire an agency specifically and solely for their facebook advertising talents.
- paulie_a 8y agoI am not the ultimate authority at my company but I get a small amount of input. And working at Facebook is an automatic pass now.
- pietroglyph 8y agoWe've been doing that for years with adtech!
- filipoi 8y agoOh you are not so good...
