I'm not following this. So we have some victim's email that they've linked to Facebook, and we add some fake emails to pad out the minimum number of required emails.
So you have to design a series of ads that are enticing enough to click on, and the victim will click on it. When they realize they clicked on a fake site, they'll exit it. How many people here have clicked on Facebook ads in the last week?
It seems incredibly time consuming, costly, and ineffective. It seems easier just to send some fake emails and check if they opened the email.
- elorant 8y agoPeople in here aren't the norm so it's irrelevant whether we click on ads or not. As for the rest, sure it's time consuming if you want to target 50 individuals. If you're aiming for one or two it's 10 minutes work. Here's a relevant thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17110385 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17110385

- wool_gather 8y agoParent comment made me think of exactly the same article! For those that don't want to click through: an ex-Mormon used targeted Facebook ads to "proselytize" to people they knew from the church, about problems with the church and reasons they should consider leaving it.
