An agent considered emailing researchers to request access to private datasets, but raised the concern that directly contacting a real researcher could constitute social engineering.

“One agent, when they're like trying to get access to these private data sets,”

“one agent has the idea to email researchers asking for it. So it says, could send polite one email explaining research,”

“ask approve access.”

“Is that appropriate?”

“Direct emailing real researcher could be seen social engineering.”
