Abstract
Social engineering entails deception where one manipulates individuals into divulging confidential or any personal information that may be used for fraudulent purposes. In mobile money theft, the attackers plan a “lure” to tempt a victim directly, via mobile phones; mostly to gain money by proposing a phony undertaking. The victim is often asked to pay some money to facilitate a lucrative undertaking, which in reality is phony. Once the victim has paid the money, the attackers become inaccessible. Reverse social engineering entails deception of the predator by the pray in order to capture or discourage the predator. Through a case study, this paper investigates and presents an incident where a victim of mobile social engineering attempts to reverse the process in order to arraign the attackers.

通过逆向社会工程来对抗移动货币盗窃中的社会工程:坦桑尼亚的背景
摘要
社会工程涉及欺骗,操纵个人泄露机密或任何可能用于欺诈目的的个人信息。在移动货币盗窃中,攻击者计划通过手机直接“引诱”受害者;主要是通过提出虚假承诺来赚钱。受害者经常被要求支付一些钱来促成一项利润丰厚的事业,而这实际上是虚假的。一旦受害者付了钱,攻击者就无法接近。逆向社会工程需要通过祈祷来欺骗掠食者,以捕获或阻止掠食者。本文通过案例研究,调查并介绍了一个事件,其中移动社交工程的受害者试图扭转过程以提审攻击者。
