Abstract

Abstract Social engineering entails deception where one manipulates individuals into divulging confidential or any personal information that may be used for fraudulent purposes. In mobile money theft, the attackers plan a “lure” to tempt a victim directly, via mobile phones; mostly to gain money by proposing a phony undertaking. The victim is often asked to pay some money to facilitate a lucrative undertaking, which in reality is phony. Once the victim has paid the money, the attackers become inaccessible. Reverse social engineering entails deception of the predator by the pray in order to capture or discourage the predator. Through a case study, this paper investigates and presents an incident where a victim of mobile social engineering attempts to reverse the process in order to arraign the attackers.
反社会工程对抗移动货币盗窃中的社会工程:坦桑尼亚的背景
摘要社会工程涉及欺骗,即操纵个人泄露机密或任何可能用于欺诈目的的个人信息。在移动货币盗窃中,攻击者计划通过手机直接引诱受害者;主要是通过提出虚假承诺来赚钱。受害者经常被要求支付一些钱来促进一项有利可图的事业,而事实上这是虚假的。一旦受害者支付了这笔钱,攻击者就无法进入。逆向社会工程需要祈祷者欺骗捕食者,以捕捉或劝阻捕食者。通过案例研究,本文调查并介绍了一起移动社会工程受害者试图逆转这一过程以传讯攻击者的事件。
