How to Prevent Social Engineering Attacks | Experiment

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 มิ.ย. 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
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.

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.)
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 :)
consistantly impressed with your guys content. Bradely, incredible charismatic. appreciate all your guys work (not forgetting the team behind the camera and editors!)
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
Such a great channel going unnoticed....IMPOSSIBLE!
"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!
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!
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 :)
My god this channel is so underrated... I'm really looking firward for the subscriber explosion!!
Lift going up!
Just Love your content man!
Keep up the good work🔥🔥
Great to have you onboard! Stay tuned for some madness!
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. :)
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!
Watched three of the best videos I’ve seen in a long time and I was socially engineered into becoming a subscriber.
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.
eyyy! Another great vid from Samsub :-D
Sub to Sum!
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.
This channel is so entertaining and informative both at the same time 🏆
I just watched all videos on this channel. Very useful.
Wow this channel is great, hope you get more subs dude!
Bradley back at it again with another banger
Ye
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
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!
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 :)
Seriously awesome content. I can't wait to see you successful
Thank you so much!
Trojan horse were the original hackers.. crazy to wrap your mind around!
I love this channel to the bone. Love from Ghana 🇬🇭
Sending love back! Thanks for the support :)
Buddy, that's amazing 👏
This channel is so underrated
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.
This is the only TH-cam channel I discovered and watched all it's videos
We're proud!
Thank you very much I love this channel 😭😄
WE LOVE YOU TOO
Scammer: HAHA! I have all of your passwords!
Me: Oh dear me, thank goodness! I thought I had forgotten them
Thank you so much! For the tips
This is one of the best content
Great to have you here mate!
His voice & accent, the way he speaks is so similar to young Xavier.... Wow
Oh darling, why thank you.
Let’s goooooo sumsub time
Onwards!
Extremely underrated
Thanks for the video =)
Great video!
Cheers!
I also did same between 2009 to 2011 , i was learning new things academically then
Awesome content....Keep it up bro
Cheers mate!
he's back with the goods

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
Windows defender is more than enough dude.
I guess so
this channel is pog
Intresstingggg
I've never heard someone talk about this stuff in such an interesting way
That funeral guy was soo pissed he disrupted an entire industry
Eye opening
As someone in the cybersecurity community, thank you.
Thank you! You represent our ideal audience. :)
Sumsub is 👌👌👌❤❤
❤️
do you edit your videos? because the détails are amazing
We have a very large and talented team )
12:18 memz trojan in action 😆
Memz is such a trojan that the contents of the horse is written in sharpie.
Best channel ever
Cheers man!
🍻🍻🍻 Cheers

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.
Remember us sumsub when the algorithm picks you up
nice video greetings from brazil
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.
Very dank
Yeet
I am enamored with your channel
Same, I've binge watched all the videos!
awesome
4:30 really missed an oportunity to rickroll there
5:47 what browser are you using?
Dogecoin
l hope you never quit!
(also, did you spot the secret in this message? )
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
There were no ads

LOL I've seen that video with the lion before.
I know one in particular, for Last Pass. 😊 not even in English. I use several languages.
4:57 CATALINAVILLE
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?
There are literally trash channels with millions of subscribers but useful channels like these are unpopular.
Rolex don't make watches for everyone.
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
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
What should I do if I accidentally clicked a link?
Don't trust what you read
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 :)
The gvyrdttme (Give your Data to me) link in the email xD. It actually works tho.
15:00 Where does windows' built in anti virus software fall short?
My knowledge on anti virus software isn't vast.
I heard the trojan horse was either left outside or left outside and burned because it was obvious the enemy soldiers were in there.
not really phishing if you send a private message to your friend from your own phone...
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. 😅
Idk whats that
I like how he has a different name for each video. 😂
Nope, still BRADLEY
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.
"download Mcafee"
DO NOT DOWNLOAD MCAFEE
Lmao
Howwwwwww does this guy have ONLY 37k subs??????

Yis, we are a baby.
