Well As we all know Sir Issac Newton . He Is Now A Verfied Google Scholar but how is this possible he is dead 🙂 In this post by HackingBlogs, we will discuss the attacker’s identity, methods of replication, and potential drawbacks.
Isaac Newton is a “Professor of Physics, MIT” with a “Verified email at mit.edu,” according to Google Scholar.
Jay Cummings, a published author and maths professor at California State University, Sacramento, brought attention to an interesting discovery earlier this week.
“Isaac Newton has verified his email on Google Scholar. And has recently picked up a professorship at MIT. Good for him,”
Cummings mentioned that, according to the late scientist’s Google Scholar profile, Albert Einstein had “yet to authenticate his email.”
What is Google Scholar ?
Google Scholar is a free search engine that indexes academic literature in a variety of publishing formats, such as books, conference papers, theses, and peer-reviewed articles.
Researchers and students can find academic papers, citations, and publications from a variety of subjects using this useful tool. After indexing content from academic publishers and the internet, Google Scholar employs a ranking mechanism to assist users in finding reliable and relevant sources.
How Was This Made Possible : Downside of Pay For Blue Tick Models
It can be easier than you think to create an author profile on Google Scholar and “verify” the email address associated with it. Recently, there has been a lot of talk about “verified” profiles on social media sites like X and Meta’s Facebook and Instagram. As scammers take advantage of the chance to fool people, attackers impersonate themselves.
Some people can mistakenly believe that the simple word “verified” on open profiles indicates that the owner’s identity has been validated.
Creating Accounts Made Easy
The form below will appear when you tap “Set up your Google Scholar Profile” on Google Scholar. The author will fill in their name, affiliation (job title at an organisation), citations, and, ideally, a verifiable email address, which is much the same as making an account on any website.
This only involves email address verification, which is optional and takes a few seconds after you receive a confirmation link in your inbox. Identity verification is not involved in any way. Thus, discovering a long-dead author’s Google Scholar profile with a “confirmed email” feels less terrifying
