They didnât pick the lock.
They didnât sneak in through the vents.
You held the door open for them.
This weekâs issue kicks off a new 10-part series: Cognitive Heistâa deep dive into the psychological exploits behind the worldâs most effective social engineering attacks.T
his week is all about "The Insider": Trust by proximity.
Why do we let people inânot because theyâre verified, but because they seem like they belong?
We unpack:
⥠The psychology of in-group bias and âtrust theaterâ
⥠Real-world infiltration tactics (think BEC, fake IT staff, Slack scams)
⥠Urban legends and conspiracies that make insiders feel mythic
⥠How your mind, not your firewall, is the real attack surface
Youâll never look at the new guy in the group chat the same way again.Oh... and there are a couple other fun bits in there as well.
Enjoy!
