RE: The Greatest Military Social Engineering Attack Since The Trojan's Horse?

["Jairo Pantoja Moncayo" <jpantoja () digiware com co>]

Hello all... as a Colombian working on information security, I can tell you
that this operation (Jaque Operation) was carried out with lots of pressure
from European countries that were opposite to this kind of military rescues.
As Colombians, we are very proud for our government to succeed this very
difficult mission that gave a lesson to more than one opposite :)

Jon,
I'm interested in this topic but I don't know much about it.  Can you
share with us what you know about the social engineering aspects of this
attack?  I too am very interested.

Thanks,
Dan
