IDENTITY UNDER ATTACK · EPISODE 16

The Details We Shared for Free

Jordan searched the team's public posts for one lunchtime. He found the source of almost every detail the impersonators had used.

Identity Under Attack, episode 16: The Details We Shared for Free. Fragment 16, the details.

Jordan's theory was simple: every convincing message the team had received was built from things the team had posted themselves.

1:10 PM. Thursday.

Jordan had a theory, a sandwich and forty minutes. The theory was that every convincing message the team had received in the past two months had been built from things they had posted themselves.

So, with everyone's OK, he searched. Nothing clever: just their names, their profiles and the company's page, the way anyone could.

Jordan's list of public posts: Nina's travel post, Jordan's event talk, Maya's workshop photo showing the project name, Aarav's new-job post naming his team, and Sam's out-of-office story, each matched to the episode where an impersonator used it.

By the time the sandwich was finished, he had found the source of almost every detail the impersonators had used.

The next morning, he put the list on the meeting room screen and watched each person find themselves on it.
