Hey folks! It's been a few weeks, but now the gift is here. :) It's the 7th installment of the "Cognitive Heists" series. This one is titled, "The Trojan Gift." š
Not all traps look like traps. Some arrive with a bow on top.
The Trojan Horse is the oldest example. But today, the gift often looks like a free service. No charge, no stringsā¦ except the ones you donāt see.
Because the real price isnāt money. Itās privacy.
-- Itās data.
-- Itās you.
In this issue of Cognitive Heists, we explore:
š¹ How āfreeā has always been one of the most effective disguises in the con artistās playbook
š¹ Folklore warnings about cursed gifts that crumble into ash
š¹ Why reciprocity, curiosity, and flattery make us drag danger through our own gates
š¹ And how modern Trojan Gifts hide in inboxes, QR codes, cloud apps, and āfreeā platforms
The cost of convenience is rarely written on the tag.
Enjoy!
Next up: The Double Agentāwhere the betrayal sits across the table, smiling like a friend.
