This week we learn about the reconnaissance and some of the techniques used in gathering the information. It is critical for any of the organizations to limit their employees what they post on social media since that information can be easily used against the organization. With tools like Maltengo and Echosec, a hacker can easily target a company and find all of the information coming from social media. These tools pull information from multiple social sites correlate the details and reveal the relationships with the company and where the posts were created. This type of intel can help to create very sophisticated phishing campaigns or target the employees through Facebook or LinkedIn.
I was researching the hacks which come through social media websites and I found this article https://www.fastcompany.com/90372829/im-a-hacker-and-heres-how-your-social-media-posts-help-me-break-into-your-company The author point that people do not pay attention when taking selfies in work they may reveal critical information to the outside world. From employee pictures, the hacker can learn the environment the building structure, can see the employee's badges, and how computers are setup.
