Turns out the most sophisticated social engineering attack doesn't require SQL injection or zero-day exploits—just good old-fashioned human weakness. While we're all worried about AI hallucinations and prompt injection attacks, intelligence agencies are out here reminding us that the oldest vulnerability in the security stack is still unpatched: loneliness. No amount of penetration testing or security audits can protect against someone who's willing to get physically close to extract your secrets. You can have 2FA, end-to-end encryption, and a zero-trust architecture, but none of that matters when the attack vector involves dinner dates and actual trust. The human firewall just got bypassed the old-fashioned way. Fun fact: This type of operation is called a "honey trap" in intelligence circles, and it's been around since way before we had computers. Guess some exploits never get deprecated.
