【France】Unemployed Frenchman guesses Celebrities' and Obama's twitter passwords - Polidicks

Phishing is impersonation to get personal information, like saying you work for VALVe and saying you need to reset someones account by having them give you information, or making a fake steam site.

Even more close to social hacking, which is not like hacking.

lol obama uses twitter

This is really bullshit. He didn't hack anything, he didn't bruteforce the password, he didn't insert a keylogger into Obama's computer, he just took a guess. And if your password is easy enough to [I]guess[/I], you deserve to have your account jacked. Even if you are a world leader.

[QUOTE=Waals Vander;20962184]okay thanks it's been said 1000 times already[/QUOTE] Wow you're right. How could I possibly have missed 25 pages of replies. Thank you for setting me straight.

lol obamas password was "socialism"

so it's true the french do hack all the time

:foxnews: [b]Can Obama be trusted with your health when he can't even be trusted with Twitter?[/b] :foxnews:

[QUOTE=Dr. Freeman;20961914]"Hacker" is not an appropriate term. Simply GUESSING is NOT hacking. "Phisher" or just "Really fucking lucky" is more like it.[/QUOTE] Anything related to gaining unauthorised acsees into a system/accound is hacking according to the media.

[QUOTE=PariahKing;20962274]:foxnews: [B]Can Obama be trusted with your health when he can't even be trusted with Twitter?[/B] :foxnews:[/QUOTE] I don't like how I can actually see fox doing this.

[QUOTE=mastermaul;20950620]Oh god the things I would do with Obama's twitter.[/QUOTE] Weeds legal now guys! Smoke up!

[QUOTE=MachiniOs;20962330]Anything related to gaining unauthorised acsees into a system/accound is hacking according to the media.[/QUOTE] This is because the media is biased.

[QUOTE=DiscoPony;20962239]Wow you're right. How could I possibly have missed 25 pages of replies. Thank you for setting me straight.[/QUOTE] no problem man

The point is that he attempted to gain control over his account and was successful. The method with which he was able to achieve that is completely irrelevant.

Did the Frenchman surrender to the police?

Username: xXBaRaCkXx password: mccainisabellend

[QUOTE=Regulas021;20960209]The password was probably 'swordfish'[/QUOTE] Goddamnit I remember that.

[QUOTE=Dr. Freeman;20962351]This is because the media is biased.[/QUOTE] Biased against... accurate terminology?

His password is 666.

[QUOTE=Turkey72;20978702]His password is 666.[/QUOTE] No. Qwerty.

I bet his password is either "Hope" or "Change".

His password was "secretmuslim" obviously.

Wait.. I thought they said he had to get rid of stuff like that when he became president.. thus why he gave up his blackberry :raise:

[QUOTE=Regulas021;20950605]Declaring war? Not so much. Saying something like "Evacuate blah blah city for whatever reason" (phrased a BIT more convincingly) could cause some serious problems. If someone found their way into the command center for the Emergency Broadcast system, he wouldn't be arrested for 'walking around'.[/QUOTE] Only stupid people check Twitter. And only VERY stupid people would consider something on Twitter to be anything of importance at all.

I don't even know what twitter is.

I'm actually kind of curious as to what his password was. I'm sure if that guy could just guess it it couldn't have been anything very complicated. [editline]12:19AM[/editline] Dammit.

[QUOTE=helpiminabox;20950321]I guess it is.[/QUOTE] You're nicked, mate.

[QUOTE=mastermaul;20950620]Oh god the things I would do with Obama's twitter.[/QUOTE] That sounds wrong.
