Jedi Mind Tricks
This month alone I've seen several attempts at hacking into my stuff. The most notable ones are Spotify, PayPal and Instagram. I wrote about each event here at some point I believe.
With Spotify, they just disabled my account and there was no way for me to "prove" I was the real owner of the account, so I just cancelled it and never looked back.
With PayPal and Instagram, the dual factor authentication email saved the day. Not like I was going to fall for the attempts, but you never know. I may have not been paying attention and accidentally clicked stuff.
The Instagram one was particularly well crafted. I found the Jedi mind tricks employed in that attempt to be totally fascinating. Social engineering at its finest.
Peace & Love,
