'Robin Sage' Social Hoax Duped Military, Security Pros
ancientribe writes "A social networking experiment of a phony female military security professional known as 'Robin Sage' (named after a US Army Special Forces training exercise) worked way too well, fooling even the most security-savvy professionals on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. It also led to the leakage of sensitive military information after an Army Ranger accepted 'Robin's' friend request on Facebook and his photos from Afghanistan exposed geolocation information accessible to 'Robin.' The researcher who conducted the experiment will show off his findings at the upcoming Black Hat USA conference in Las Vegas, where the real woman pictured in the profiles is scheduled to introduce him for his presentation."

Posts not to be taken literally. Almost everything is sarcasm.
...but anyone who has ever thought about going for the long tab would catch that name. Robin Sage, really? Come on!

I have no idea how this is relevant, and you're probably trolling, but seriously... the 2006 Lebanon war was NOT the first time a guerrilla army turned back regular forces. Look at the Anglo-Irish war from 1918-1921 for an example, or friggin' Vietnam. Or Afghanistan... every time anyone has ever tried to invade Afghanistan (the British twice, the Soviets, Alexander the Great, even). As to the rest of your post, your UID is low enough that you should be old enough to know better. Quit being 16, it's not becoming.
