Weird, because all I see is hunter*
Yup, it is. Social engineering is by far the most effective means of gaining unlawful access to any system.
Humans are always the weakest link.
Exactly. Many breaches follow this pattern:
- Learn the name and some basic details about the secretary or something
- Call corporate tech support asking for a password reset claiming to be the secretary
- Access important stuff since secretaries have a surprising amount of access
Replace “secretary” with some other relevant individual who has a surprising amount of access and wouldn’t attract attention.

Hi, I’m Steve from corp. I need your password to verify some settings…
At least it wasn’t due to a user input sanitization issue
instead it was a user sanitization issue
