    This and some browsing of the public Facebook account will get you into most people’s accounts with minimal effort, social engineering is wild and made me lose interest in being a hacker growing up because it was too easy and made me uncomfortable. (I wanted to be mr robot so bad, I was delusional lol)

      Remember back in the day when you could get apple users emails through a simple number incrimination in i believe the app store website?

      The documentary The Hacker Wars highlighted the issue and if i remember weev went to jail for it. I probably need to rematch it again.

      Also if people are interested in that kind of documentary The Internet’s Own Boy is a heartbreakingly excellent story of what the US put Allen Schwartz through.
