Social engineering. The more information they have about you, the easier you are to immitate.

The threat isn’t in any one piece of information about you; it’s in the corpus of knowledge, the profile they can build. Your tastes in music - at the granularity of not only what you listen to, but how much, and at what times - can help narrow down:

  • how old you are
  • where (in the world, and maybe to the time zone) you live
  • your mother tongue
  • probably your socio-economic status

These are just the things I can tyink of off the top of my head, and I’m not in infosec.
