The goal is to learn about different scams in a safe(ish) but real environment. A little side quest is to waste scammers' time so that they can't use it on actual victims. <br /> A successful presentation will result in passing the course if the attendance criteria (5 out of 8 lectures and seminars) is met. To register a presentation, '''please team up and register below''', in your chosen time slot. '''There are limited presentation slots - first come, first served!''' (note: as people sign up, we will probably have to cram as many presentations as possible into each seminar - but the space is not infinite, we will have more or less 90 minutes for each).<br /> <br /> Note: this time, we went from paired work to 3-person teams due to the number of people in the course (the seminar time would not have been enough for pairs).<br /> <br /> === The Task ===<br /> <br /> Step 1: Create a fake identity and honeypot email account for engaging with scammers. Other platforms are also welcome, as long as you are able to protect your identity.<br /> <br /> Step 2: Distribute the email address on shady or spammy sites, such as social media, online forums, etc. Some tips can be found here https://www.quora.com/How-can-I-get-scam-emails<br /> <br /> Step 3: Wait for the scams to start rolling in.<br /> <br /> Step 4: Engage! First select if you're going to use a naïve or aggressive approach. <br /> <br /> If you don't manage to get any scammers to directly email your newly created address, go look in your regular mailbox, in the spam folder, ask friends &amp; family, etc. NB! Before replying to any of those &quot;crowdsourced&quot; scam emails from your fake account, be sure to delete the address it was originally sent to.<br /> <br /> Some tips for safety:<br /> # Never reveal your (or anyone else's) real personal information to the scammers. Make up something realistic.<br /> # Never open any links in emails unless you're in a protected sandbox environment.<br /> # NEVER give out any real financial information, account information, or passwords.<br /> # Always use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Even on your fake accounts.<br /> <br /> Here's the grand prize: if you manage to engage with at least 3 scammers for an email chain of 5 messages or more (they respond to at least 2 of your letters in the same thread), and present your findings at one of the seminars, '''you pass the course'''. It's not as easy as it might first seem.<br /> <br /> An alternative way to pass is to educate people in your social network, friends, family, coworkers, etc about scams, how to spot them, how to avoid them, what to do if you're already a victim. If you want to use this option, please contact Kaido (over e-mail or MS Teams) and suggest how would you do it.<br /> <br /> === The Seminars ===<br /> <br /> The hands-on seminars will have the following schedule:<br /> * Thursday, March 6 at noon (12:00)<br /> ** Stiven Lille, Innar Viinamäe, Georg Lee<br /> ** ...<br /> ** ...<br /> ** ...<br /> ** ...<br /> * Thursday, March 13 at noon (12:00)<br /> ** ...<br /> ** ...<br /> ** ...<br /> ** ...<br /> ** ...<br /> * Thursday, March 20 at noon (12:00)<br /> ** ...<br /> ** ...<br /> ** ...<br /> ** ...<br /> ** ...<br /> * Thursday, March 27 at noon (12:00)<br /> ** ...<br /> ** ...<br /> ** ...<br /> ** ...<br /> ** ...<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Social Engineering | Back to the course page]]</div> Stlill https://wiki.itcollege.ee/index.php?title=Exam_schedule_(27.12.2023)&diff=144170 Exam schedule (27.12.2023) 2023-12-26T22:03:38Z <p>Stlill: </p> <hr /> <div>Written exam:<br /> <br /> (add your names here)<br /> <br /> Mark-Henry Jakobsoo<br /> <br /> Fjodor Bondar<br /> <br /> Maria Aleksandra Ploduhhina<br /> <br /> Stiven Lille<br /> <br /> Oral exam:<br /> <br /> (add your names here)<br /> <br /> Leo Goršić<br /> <br /> Rassell Muru<br /> <br /> Mattias Nõmm<br /> <br /> Pavel Shemetov<br /> <br /> Eric Richard Kogerman<br /> <br /> Marat Biryukov<br /> <br /> Adrian Wiendl<br /> <br /> Andrei Timošin<br /> <br /> Dulan Damien<br /> <br /> Diana Anastassija Turks<br /> <br /> <br /> Schedule ('''will be filled by Kristjan'''):<br /> <br /> 9:00-9:30 (oral)<br /> * your_name_here<br /> * your_name_here<br /> * your_name_here<br /> 9:30-10:00 (oral)<br /> * your_name_here<br /> * your_name_here<br /> * your_name_here<br /> 10:00-10:30 (oral/written)<br /> * your_name_here<br /> * your_name_here<br /> * your_name_here<br /> 10:30-11:00 (written)<br /> * Fjodor Bondar<br /> * your_name_here<br /> * your_name_here<br /> * your_name_here<br /> * your_name_here<br /> * your_name_here<br /> 11:00-11:30 (oral)<br /> * your_name_here<br /> * your_name_here<br /> * your_name_here<br /> 11:30-12:00 (oral)<br /> * your_name_here<br /> * your_name_here<br /> * your_name_here</div> Stlill https://wiki.itcollege.ee/index.php?title=Group_2_seminar_schedule&diff=143950 Group 2 seminar schedule 2023-10-14T13:50:37Z <p>Stlill: </p> <hr /> <div># Nov 1: <br /> #* Andrei Romar - Ethical aspects of piracy<br /> #* Sigrid Latt - Social Media and Mental Health<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> # Nov 8:<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> # Nov 15:<br /> #* Stiven Lille - The ethics in the WordPress community<br /> #* Angelica Daisi Stewart - Moral and surveillance dilemmas of smart homes<br /> #* Jan Polách - Analyzing Cross-Cultural Variations in Moral Preferences in Autonomous Vehicle Decision-Making<br /> #* Innar Viinamäe - The internet as a channel for whistleblowing<br /> #* Ringo-Lehari Purge - Misinformation spread through Social Media<br /> # Nov 22:<br /> #* Kaspar Sibul - Digital location footprint and it's correlation to security/privacy<br /> #* David Ayson - The Ethical Issues on Social Media's Addictive Algorithm<br /> #* Oleh Rohachov - Software piracy<br /> #* Andrei Šutkov - AI influence on the job market.<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> # Nov 29:<br /> #* Tanel Maasik<br /> #* Gabriel Jääger<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> # Dec 6:<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> # Dec 13:<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> # Dec 20:<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> #* your_name_here<br /> <br /> [[SPEAIT|Back to the main course page]]</div> Stlill
