My task was
to get a stranger to let me borrow their phone. I accomplished this task while
I was out at a bar with friends by asking a guy outside if I could use his
phone to make a phone call because my phone was dead. As soon as the guy handed
me his phone I saw that he was logged into his banking app and did not sign out
before giving it to me. I used his phone and called my brother for a ride.
I think a
lot of people are oblivious to their own personal information and security
because while I had this random guys phone whom I had never seen before I could
have transferred money from his account into untraceable account. I am very
aware of my personal security and I always pay attention to what is open on my
phone of I let someone use it. I have also found it useful now that my phone
can require my fingerprint to log into certain apps or programs.
Someone could easily apply the tactics I used because I was at a bar and dealing with impaired people is easier than someone who is not under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This was evident when I was using this guy’s phone he only cared about talking to my friend and was clearly intoxicated.
