Social engineering is the art of tricking people and making them share sensitive information voluntarily. It uses psychological manipulation to play with people’s trust so that they give up information like passwords, bank details and even their system’s credentials without suspicion. The most common attack vectors using social engineering are malicious emails and fake websites that solicit personal information by posing legitimate channels from a real organization.

I have no inside knowledge of a potential stock listing of the popular anti-Whatsapp messaging app, Telegram. But I know this much, judging by most people I talk to, especially crypto investors, if Telegram ever went public, people would gobble it up. I know I would. I’m waiting for it. So is Sergei Sergienko, who claims he owns $800,000 of Telegram’s pre-initial coin offering (ICO) tokens. “If Telegram does a SPAC IPO, there would be demand for this issue. It would probably outstrip the interest we saw during the ICO. Why? Because as of right now Telegram looks like a liberal application that can accept anyone - right after WhatsApp and others have turn on the censorship,” he says.
