Social Media Profiling
Social engineering impersonation (also called identity fraud) is masquerading as a real or fictitious character and then playing out that person's role on a victim. The more the threat actors know about the person, the more convincing the impersonation will be. Social media profiling is gathering information about a person from one or more social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) that can be used for impersonation. This includes the person's work history, family connections, background, interests, hobbies, skills, and a wide variety of other information a threat actor can use.
For this activity, select another learner in your class that you are not already a friend and ask his or her permission to perform social media profiling. If you are unable to use another learner in your class, select an acquaintance that is in your "outer circle" (not part of your close "inner circle" of friends and family but not a stranger that you have never met).

Create a document that outlines the information that you gather on that person, along with one or two screen captures of specific information that you have gathered from social media sites.
Explain how accurate your information is.
Write a summary (minimum of 200 words) of your experiences performing a social media profile reconnaissance, including how long it took to perform, how accurate the information was, the reaction of the "victim" when you presented the results and a tip or trick you learned when performing social media profiling.
