To be used in the Cyber Attack Dice Scenario
Leader Info
- If scouts struggle, provide hints at intervals:
- After 3 minutes: Members of the hacker group tend to embed a “signature” in their messages that signals group affiliation.
- After 6 minutes: Narrow down the list to the three most suspicious usernames.
- After 9 minutes: Investigate the use of emojis, which may reveal something unusual.
Answer: The group embeds sequences of emojis in their messages, where the first and/or second letters of the emoji names spell “GlitchGang” (e.g., Grape, Lightning, Ice Cream, Turtle, Cherry = “Glitch”).
TrailBlazer, SplashFan, and BenchBuddy are members of the GlitchGang. Their messages include the full emoji signature “. 🐢🍒🍇💡” at the end, sometimes blending it within their messages alongside other emojis to keep it less obvious
