My daughter in law asked a question earlier about people using software on this site to gain personal information about users when they post anonymously on the Suggestion Forum.
What kind of person would gain pleasure from doing this? What is the point of doing it?
because they have no life and this is the only bit of excitement that they get, it gives them a sexual kick to feel that they have some sort of mysterious superiorority power over us mere mortals
If they are doing to get personal information their could be several reasons.
They find it a challenge to thwart the forbidden.
They are malicious for kicks.(like keying a car)
They have fragile egos and hope to seek revenge for some perceived slight on the Q&A boards.
They are criminal and hope to use personal information for monetary gain.
They are in competition with one another to see who can hack the most info.
Antisocial or criminal type people.
Limit the amount of personal information you have on the internet.
I use a pre-loaded credit card that once you spend the amount you loaded you cant spend any more. So its not really a credit card as you cant run up debt on it. If it gets hacked you have limited your liabiltiy to the pre-loaded amount.
Free access to porn through a back door is the main reason for so called innocent hacking, stealing peoples identities and cloning their bank details through a key logger is the most criminal of hackers. But the ones who do it just for fun or for the challenge aren't innocent either. A lot of amateur wannabee hackers like to think they're God because they got their hands on a widely available program that does all the work for them to make somebody elses CD drawer open. Wow all hail king of the hacks!
If somebody is using yahoo to gain personal information are trying to play God, losers want to get a life and they aint that smart, a trace route could find out who and where they were even through a proxy.
Ive just read that thread and Im in bulk laughing.
"The "..user affiliated with Yahoo staff.." was a story made up as a joke, openly admitted to later by the person involved, claiming someone was married to a Y!AT staff member (despite their being in different countries and she being a good 20 years older than him).This supposed Y!AT wife is a user in a well-known category and NOT what you could call an SBR."
IM IN MY PRIME .!!!
And Lou knows it.
my son has asperger's syndrome and he spams/hacks sites. I've asked him why and talked to him about consequences, but he just laughs.
If I ban the internet he'll trash the house when I'm not there so don't tell me to stop him.
My Paypal account was hacked - I live in Pittsburgh, PA and it was hacked from Britian. Horrible time working with paypal to get my money back, but finally did. Money is the motive.
i would imagine people with problems inside their heads or sadists. or people who are desparate for money, or people who are jealous of others try hacking people's accounts.
That would be attributable to the asshole gene. NO other explanation.
to gain information for stealing money, or identities for criminal purposes usually i would imagine
