Questions organizing the work
How do people decide who to trust online?
What signals make a person, message, voice, or identity feel real?
What happens when an identity can be generated?
How do synthetic voices, faces, histories, and relationships change verification?
How does public information become believable access?
When does ordinary OSINT become a convincing pretext, relationship, or request?
How do shame, intimacy, attraction, authority, and urgency alter security decisions?
Which emotions make people more likely to ignore suspicion, bypass procedure, or stay silent afterward?
What kinds of security knowledge develop outside formal cybersecurity work?
How do people learn to screen risk, protect identities, share warnings, and recognize manipulation without professional security training?
How should organizations test the human layer without blaming employees?
What does a useful assessment look like when the finding is about the process and system, not the person who clicked?
Bodily and reproductive data show how digital exposure can become social, legal, political, and physical risk.
This is one example of why human consequences belong inside security analysis.
Pink Team wants to hear from people working in social engineering, OSINT, identity, red teaming, trust and safety, behavioral research, and places we have not thought to look yet.
We are especially interested in researchers, mentors, collaborators, and organizations thinking seriously about human-layer risk.
As AI becomes more capable, the human layer becomes more important, not less.
The next generation of attacks will not only target software.
They will target trust, identity, reputation, authority, relationships, and the small decisions people make every day.
Pink Team is working to understand that terrain.
