Now give me all the phones that used to connect to a base stations in the restaurant, park, rock venue...you name it at the specific time patterns. Number of matches: 1. gotya!

It's difficult to change your social habits. Assuming someone is after you, be sure to change them the very same time you change your device.

Now let's take a quick look on Facebook New Feature "Random questions to get you know better".
If you not so regular Facebook user, you are unlikely to notice that tiny little section of "Random Question" in the bottom left section of the page.

Why Left Bottom?


Looking at the left bottom, put's the hemisphere into action that's assuring the answer to likely be answered correctly, based on what you feel and want, without much reasoning. Such answers should be Auditory Constructed (Ac), Feeling / Kinesthetic (F) produced.
And we don't want an "Internal Dialog (Ai)" here, that's most likely to raise a question "Why should I answer this", which is likely to happen if the question is presented at the right bottom.

Here are some of the questions:
To give some examples of "random" question, among many.

Why is that in place, is it for marketing purposes? Most likely it's used for marketing as well. But assuming you posses some valuable informations, or there's another point of interest, don't get surprised to "accidentally" meet the blonde of your dream, that happens to drink strong coffee, that you happen to see again at your favorite rock concert that is likely to extract from you whatever is needed with ease.

Now combine that with Reverse Social Engineering.

It's kind a fun living in cyber-punk age, right?
2.2 Billion active monthly users, and assuming you posses that data and need any single of them, this gives you an ability to mess somebodies life real hard in every possible way in his life, while everything looks spontaneous ;)

It's interesting that the success rate of pointing "conspiracy theorists" into totally wrong direction is that high, while making them use the tools that are in front of their nose. At least, it's way cheaper that "James bond" alike devices and "satellites" from the sci-fi movies. The simple solutions always work best.

What's the final in this cyber war?

Whoever control that data, is able to achieve almost any goal, while utilizing people that are totally unaware, by causing spontaneous, yet controlled reactions that are almost impossible to reconnect with the final goal. If you think Russia is the mother of fake news, then US would be the father of social engineering.

Of-course, don't shut at the blonde of your dream if it happens that she knows to change the tire. It might be a coincidence :)
