The title is a bit misleading. It's not an attack, more like well done social engineering.
But the context is very helpful - especially with the amount of detail you provide, along with the email exchange, one can see the target was totally abused.
The lanyard, laptop, false recruiting - you really overdid it, but I mean that in a positive way. I like it, it's so great - you could almost make a movie out of it ;-)
That's creative thinking. Congrats on your victory.

- girvo 13y agoY'know what, I disagree. It's not misleading. Social Engineering _is_ an attack, as far as I am concerned, and honestly when he mentions that it's Social Engineering in the third sentence of the article itself, I don't find it misleading at all. To the guy who did it: Bloody well done. I agree with guyhelm, it's overkill, and we all know that's the best kind of kill ;) Social engineering is actually quite scary, especially when put together with targeted attacks against the individual. It's a one-two punch that is very hard to defend against. I wish the Uni's here in Brisbane would do stuff like that! Well done again, and I'm quite jealous!
