interesting that he mentions social engineering in the manifesto. makes me think he lured the CEO somehow and that's why he knew exactly when the target would be there. he waited for like 5 minutes before the CEO showed up, that was unrealistically precise if all you had was public information.
Stop making assumptions. The article is clear that we have 0 evidence that this is the actual.manifesto. at this point its just fanfic
it was released by a somewhat credible source and most aligned with the bits and pieces already released by the media. of course it could still be fabrication, but i'd say it's relatively safe to think it's real. hopefully i don't make fool out of myself...
It could simply mean he checked his public social media and knew where he would go. Social "engineering" can be as simple as a web search.
well that would tell him the conference starts at 8am or something. based on that he could guesstimate maybe the CEO will arrive 1~2 hours before. but to narrow it down to 5 minutes? i think he would need something more.
That's OSINT not SE
Its possible the author wasn't aware of the difference. And since the author was likely LE, it makes sense
I could stalk a lot of people with 5 min accuracy, easy. Most people have schedules and routines. It's not rocket science.
Or maybe he had more planned. He's vague about the scope of what he did, as if the letter were there in case he got caught at any point.
It would provide an explanation for him keeping the gun.
