How to Prevent Social Engineering Attacks | Experiment
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 май 2024
- In this video, I take a close look at social engineering, which is when scammers try and fool us into giving up our passwords and pin codes. Together, we’ll go over the origins of this common cyberattack and how you can protect yourself.
I also decided to do a little experiment by sending phishing links to 12 of my friends. Will any of them take the bait?
We hope you enjoy!

Cybersecurity videos have never been this entertaining before
nowadays im so lonely that scammers are the only ones who call me
😭
You are loved.
LOL.. I laugh but I feel you.
@@Sumsubcom This man out here loving people who need to be loved 10/10
Call them back lmao
I could only facepalm at the woman at 2:00 when she directly told the reporter her password
Too bad. Now she has to rename her dog 🐶
It's actually jokes
Same here.
I love this channel.
We love you ❤️
We* love this channel
This is Definitely one of the best channels not many logical thinkers out there now a days.
Same
👍👍👍👍
I have raged at my banks who do things like sending text messages with shortlinks, or ringing me up asking for security info - because they won't understand they're training their customers to fall for scammers.
Actually, you've got a point. I had a legitimate call from my bank, and I had to hang up because I didn't believe it was them.
I've had this happen to me but only with an Indian guy claiming to be from Virgin Media. Never a bank.
@@Terrr05 I think you thought it was a scam because of his accent. Why else would you mention his race?
@@Ibibiogal are you one of them? Sounds like one of them 😹🚮
@@Terrr05 I've had this happen to me as well but it was always "Microsoft" saying I had a virus (which I didn't)
The funeral business guy who created automatic telephone exchange has my respects !
An ENDLESS number of locations and interesting content!
This channel’s gonna be huge very soon, I feel it.
Thanks for the support Sarah! Wait until you see our next one...
❤❤❤
This aged like milk, they killed this channel themselves sadly

MY best social engineering scene was when scammer told victim that his atm has expierd and asking him for otp 🤣🤣😂
Wow never knew ATM's could expire lol. (I got a chuckle out of how much of a idiot that scammer was.)
15:02 I've used most of the antivirus softwares on windows in the past 10 years and I've come to the conclusion that almost all of those are not as good as the default windows defender in catching malicious files and basic UX. Most third party softwares use a significant amount of system resources at all times. I haven't found anything that works better and is more seamless than windows defender. I don't think having an extra antivirus software is important or provides extra security to people who are getting phished and not to mention that all the antivirus software other than the top few feel really shady for the amount of permissions they require to function. I would say that if you've been on the internet for the past 2-3 years then having a third party antivirus software is a big oof.
I concur. I also don't think it's necessary for people, like myself, who are very cautious on the internet with shady things. I haven't used a third party anti virus for about 9 years and have only once gotten a virus. It's actually super easy to avoid getting viruses and such if you just follow very basic safety etiquette online.
consistantly impressed with your guys content. Bradely, incredible charismatic. appreciate all your guys work (not forgetting the team behind the camera and editors!)
Great video as usual
I'm glad this channels comment section is actual viewers and less bots. Both channel and audience are pretty loyal.
I know right! Really cool that we've got such a nice community now. Glad you're here with us. :)
@@Sumsubcom Thanks. This channel has a great potential btw :)
Such a great channel going unnoticed....IMPOSSIBLE!
This channel deserves way more recognition, not just because of the astonishing amount of effort and work put into them, but because of the concise and well-researched information being presented. As someone currently studying CyberSec, I can say I'm impressed and very happy this channel exists.
Thank you so much for your support! We're glad to have you here. :)
This channel is a gift. I just started a project on the safety of our online systems and I found this channel full of wonderful information. Thanks so much
Glad to have you on board!
"if youre using windows please tell me you have got an antivirus software"
we all do, its called windows defender lmao
I'm quite excited that I found your channel in its infancy so I can tag along and watch it quickly grow. Great content here!
Welcome aboard!
I've learned so many things from yall in just a short span of time. Keep it up!!!!
Thanks so much! Great to have you onboard
These videos are ridiculously high in cuality! Big ups to Bradley for making these, so informative and well made.
I have a big team to thank for it too :)
This channel is so entertaining and informative both at the same time 🏆
Always quality in content ❤️❤️🔥
Insomniac here, Stumbled upon this channel and I'm loving it so far. Guess I'm not sleeping any time soon. Let the binging begin.
My god this channel is so underrated... I'm really looking firward for the subscriber explosion!!
Lift going up!
Watched three of the best videos I’ve seen in a long time and I was socially engineered into becoming a subscriber.
Just Love your content man!
Keep up the good work🔥🔥
Great to have you onboard! Stay tuned for some madness!
I feel am in the midst of greatness at it's early stages.
This channel is phenomenal and a great dose of simplified internet web. 💜
Thank you so much for the support!
I just watched all videos on this channel. Very useful.
Bro this is really well made! Could you give us some Q&A as what your background is/motivation for these videos? Sounds like you have atleast some deep knowledge about CS
Trojan horse were the original hackers.. crazy to wrap your mind around!
Wow this channel is great, hope you get more subs dude!
You're doing a great job, more people need to see your videos!
When you were talking about banking and 2-factor auth, I just had to think about the big mess that banking authentication actually is in. Quite often a code by SMS serves the purpose, in times where sim-swap is not impossible. Or each bank comes up with their unique way to send the code via their mobile app. I'd love to see a video addressing this, as scammers already evovled said trojan horse to sneak their way as seemingly "useful" or gimmicky app onto people smartphones, while especially banking tasks are increasingly performed on these seemingly more secure devices. While this assumption is still widely true, that also means, 2-factor auth and banking device are becoming the same thing. But most worrying is the way, banks use easily accessible public record for authentication by phone, which makes even sharing the full birthday a major security issue.
Thanks for your comment! We'll take this into consideration. Very interesting.
when the lady straight up verbally told the interviewer her password... WHAT
Also awesome stuff! Just discovered this channel and LOVE all the content you've been putting out :)
Scammer: HAHA! I have all of your passwords!
Me: Oh dear me, thank goodness! I thought I had forgotten them
I just discovered your channel and I have to say it's great content!
It would be great to see a video about the spy programs and how you can check that is your phone have one or not. This recent Pegasus scandal gave me the idea.
I love this channel to the bone. Love from Ghana 🇬🇭
Sending love back! Thanks for the support :)
eyyy! Another great vid from Samsub :-D
Sub to Sum!
Seriously awesome content. I can't wait to see you successful
Thank you so much!
Buddy, that's amazing 👏
Bradley back at it again with another banger
Ye
Did you send your friends the message via whatsapp? That is an end-to-end encrypted service hence without the warning popping up "the encryption key has changed" on your friends' phone (and assuming they trust you) it was granted they'll open the message ;)
I would've too (a security expert here) unless the key change warning is present.
A much more representative example would be to send "I barely know them" type friends on facebook the same thing and see how many will self destruct I reckon.
Good point actually!
This channel is so underrated
I also did same between 2009 to 2011 , i was learning new things academically then
This is the only RUclips channel I discovered and watched all it's videos
We're proud!
Thank you very much I love this channel 😭😄
WE LOVE YOU TOO
Thank you so much! For the tips
His voice & accent, the way he speaks is so similar to young Xavier.... Wow
Oh darling, why thank you.
Awesome content....Keep it up bro
Cheers mate!
This is one of the best content
Great to have you here mate!
That funeral guy was soo pissed he disrupted an entire industry
Let’s goooooo sumsub time
Onwards!
I once received a dm from a former high school classmate and it contained a link to what looked like my Instagram account. Only my close HS friends followed my account so I was surprised that they knew it. I clicked on the link and the page loaded slow enough for me to notice that the url was not forwarded to Instagram so I was able to go back and close the browser window. I searched Twitter to see if anyone also had the same experience and sure enough it was a hacking/phishing scheme. For assurance, I still changed my password and checked my dm for unrecognized sent messages.
Ou...
@@Sumsubcom I realized that my usernames are the same that's why the supposed instagram link could could've just been a copy from my twt but if it was different then that would be really sus
Great video!
Cheers!
I've never heard someone talk about this stuff in such an interesting way
Extremely underrated
As someone in the cybersecurity community, thank you.
Thank you! You represent our ideal audience. :)
Thanks for the video =)
he's back with the goods

12:18 memz trojan in action 😆
Memz is such a trojan that the contents of the horse is written in sharpie.
Fun little story:
I worked at a Burger King a while ago. It was around 10:30pm and the store received a call:
Me: BK, how may I help you?
Scammer: Ah yes, I am with the Utah Money Bureau, and who am I speaking to?
Me: (my name)
At this point my immediate thought was "It's 10pm, state and federal agencies don't call past 5, so this is obviously a scam"
Scammer: Yes, (my name), just who I needed to talk to!
I also caught that immediately, but I must admit it's quite clever. Knowing the people I work for, they'd probably fall for that lol.
Anyway, the call unfortunately disconnected so I couldn't find out anything else about the scam.
Eye opening
Remember us sumsub when the algorithm picks you up
Windows defender is more than enough dude.
I guess so
Honest question - do you trust Kaspersky as an anti-virus? I used to use it but since it's a Russian company and its privacy policy is vague I really don't feel like it's not worth the risk.
Best channel ever
Cheers man!
🍻🍻🍻 Cheers
this channel is pog
Sumsub is 👌👌👌❤❤
❤️
do you edit your videos? because the détails are amazing
We have a very large and talented team )
4:30 really missed an oportunity to rickroll there
Don't scam with your friends, you won't get help when you really need them...
Yeah, I did that, and then when I was kidnapped and held to ransom not a single friend would pay it.
@@PermaPen oh, I'm sorry go hear that... Hope you're doing well now...
@@28aminoacids :)
I only chose peripheries. I don't care about Clare all that much.
" Police Lieutenant Kevin Mitnick is with me now " ...... funny
🔥🔥❤
I am enamored with your channel
Same, I've binge watched all the videos!
I know one in particular, for Last Pass. 😊 not even in English. I use several languages.
l hope you never quit!
(also, did you spot the secret in this message? )
nice video greetings from brazil
Very dank
Yeet
There are literally trash channels with millions of subscribers but useful channels like these are unpopular.
Rolex don't make watches for everyone.
I heard the trojan horse was either left outside or left outside and burned because it was obvious the enemy soldiers were in there.
Ok, so - hear me out:
What if this whole channel is just an extraordinarily thought out facade for us to trust Bradley so that he can phish us with a link in the description?
LOL I've seen that video with the lion before.
I can't get any of your tips to work. Please send me your credit card number, experation date and that weird 3 digit number I can't remember the name of. I am a Nigerian prince, so you can trust me.
Contact Michael Scott, He'// surely help you. He's got a thing for Nigerian Prince
nice one
I don't trust like that
There were no ads
awesome
Windows defender does the job just fine for home users, it ain't like it was back in the day.
Windows defender and Malwarebytes free is all you need, well maybe a little common sense too
5:47 what browser are you using?
Dogecoin
anti-virus software is like the computer crimes guy at the police station. His name is Dave, he's 55 and he hasn't understood computers or hackers since 1979.

I open all Mails on my Raspberry pi. If it gets infected i can pull out the Micro SD Card and Format it new.
Sounds kinda rad
@@Sumsubcom better safe then sorry. 😅
The gvyrdttme (Give your Data to me) link in the email xD. It actually works tho.
How would I able to say my password I can't even spell it it's a garbled mess, or is it?
So long as there are pronounceable characteristics, you should be OK :)
What should I do if I accidentally clicked a link?
Don't trust what you read
not really phishing if you send a private message to your friend from your own phone...
15:00 Where does windows' built in anti virus software fall short?
My knowledge on anti virus software isn't vast.

Copying design of any website is matter of minutes.
Me who is Front End Engineer : okay
Lmao
is it safe for me to save my passwords to my google account?
as long as you don't use the same password for your google account itself, and you're sure that you've never revealed that, they should be fine.
Also make sure you have a password on your computer all the time.
Better yet, download and use the Bitwarden password manager and keep it away from the cloud, only store it on your computer. It's free, libre and open source, definitely safe for everyone to use.
@@alexwr thank you. I just never trusted google with my passwords.
I personally DON'T TRUST Google for saving my password, use Free/Paid Password Managers
@@josib1792 Use a piece of paper and never store passwords on your pc.
I'd take a look at a paid password manager if you're really serious about it.
What happened to the suits? You wear them well ... but the content is great nonetheless.
What do u do for living
Bradley: Hacking {ethically:)}
Subsub is a security company. Check out their site, there's a lot to learn.
I'm actually a deepfake, so nothing really.
