Facebook was pretty good about not letting me in, since it recognized that I was in the US, away from the usual country of Brazil. Since it asked for the owner's birthday, I just looked it up on the 10 or so other accounts with the same name, and got in without a problem.
Oh wow, didn't think it to the end... :facepalm:

Find Me On Discord (Brood War UMS Community & Staredit Network)

I don't see why you would WANT to go onto someone elses FB account and start screwing them around though. I don't see the attraction. Though I never have logins to porn sites myself, if I was on that list I certainly wouldn't want anyone screaming that fact from my hacked FB account. So, I apply the silver rule... and I think everyone else should too.

SDE, BWAPI owner, hacker.

"If it's true then the hackers are only partially at fault. (You leave your car door unlocked with the keys inside and it gets stolen kind of thing)"
I blatantly disagree with this. My dad used to constantly tell me how back in his day people left their doors unlocked and never had to worry about thieves. Whereas today everyone locks everything (myself included). Just because thieves are a banality, commonplace, in today's society, doesn't mean they are any less to blame when they go for a car that is unlocked. The blame is exactly the same whether the car was locked or unlocked, not 'partially'. And so it should be with the hackers as well.
So if I left my dad's car unlocked and tossed his keys in and it was stolen the next day, I can say "Oh hey dad, I left the doors unlocked and the keys in, it's all the thief's fault!". Thanks for the advise. I'll remember it forever.

EDIT: This shouldn't even be in the Games forum.

Quote from FaZ-
Have to disagree, knowing how dumb people are these days. Send a link to visit a site, get your IP from visiting that, use it to remote in if possible, or just drop the internet connection with a DOS. If you can remote in, view saved passwords in Firefox, get e-mail/bank/everything, etc.
I'm not sure what you mean by "remote". Remote desktop? You need to accept a connection for that. Even if it is exploitable, you need the service to actually be running. It's not just going to start up itself and accept a remote connection.

I have my computer set to automatically accept remote desktop requests so if I need to get in from a classroom I can do so. As far as I know this isn't rare, I think most Windows machines even have the service on by default. Obviously you'd then have to log in, and my computer only allows passworded access, but everyone doesn't.



None.

OVERWATCH STATUS GO

Interesting news regarding the Anon/LulzSec arrests:
http://www.fbi.gov/newyork/press-releases/2012/six-hackers-in-the-united-states-and-abroad-charged-for-crimes-affecting-over-one-million-victims
http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/03/06/hacking-group-lulzsec-swept-up-by-law-enforcement/
http://techcrunch.com/2012/03/06/too-big-to-fail-why-anonymous-and-hacktivism-will-go-on-after-sabu/

Apparently "Sabu" was arrested and helped the feds get a few other members of LulzSec, probably in some sort of plea bargain.
