There was a lot of effort by everyone in this challenge. Lots of really innovative ways to get someones details. The call from EE regarding a phone contract particularly stood out. Hopefully this challenge has also demonstrated how easy it can be to become a target in a scam, and how, without evening realizing it, the sum of information you share on social media can open you up for all sorts of social engineering. A big thank you to everyone who took part in the challenge, you were all really fantastic. The winners of this challenge will be determined by the top 3 Teams and top 3 Individuals who completed the challenge in the fastest time from the challenge release!
We have also included a 4th winner on this challenge due to the extremely close result and also because they missed out due to a very small spelling error, which otherwise meant they would have been 2nd place! We're not that mean so they get a prize as well!
