It is really interesting how Social engineering dodges every kind of anti scam or hack security measure. As Kevin Mitnick already wrote there is more power to humans being hacked then the best brute force algorithm.

Keep it up. My replies to comments very much depend on my mood, and as you've picked up I do have a very low tolerance for idiocy. Just remember when it comes to blogging content is king, so be consistent and original and you'll be fine. Good luck!

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 18:39:47 +0000 http://www.darknet.org.uk/?p=2139#comment-159230 I'm somewhat baffled by phishing attacks on Twitter, given that there's practically no discernible value in hijacking an account. Perhaps the attack was inspired by boredom? Or sheer distaste for Twitter? I have trouble imagining a practical way to monetarily capitalize on the control of thousands of Twitter accounts. At any rate, I always have to grin when social engineering hacks trump modern security measures. (Not that Twitter is especially secure, but numerous other examples demonstrate my point.) I can't help but think that, even with the most advanced technologies, hackers will inevitably attain some degree of success by taking advantage of other peoples' ignorance. I'm a big fan of your blog. Your posts are tasteful, informative, and interesting to read. As a new blogger myself, I'm acclimating to the digital writing realm with exercises in critical reading/writing, and have made your blog a central element of my critiques. You might be interested in reading my thoughts on your work: hackedplanet.blogspot.com Keep up the good work!
