  • Phone phreaking was where the fun was. Free phone calls, messing with other people’s boxes and stuff. When it was purely electric phone lines were easy to manipulate.

    That and before PayPal credit card processing took weeks.

    You could fake a credit card so easy and just get services until they tried to bill it.

    The same techniques for social engineering are still the most effective ones.

    Computers and systems get smarter.

    People actually get dumber.






  • When I worked in a commissioned sales job (read: professional capitalist thief) a coworker told me how he loved to have hot chicks as customers and he would always give them a discount.

    I was like man “these girls get everything for free and discounts everywhere they go. Ipso facto they have more money to spend. Stop giving them discounts. Charge them more “

    The weird thing ; they respected him for it.

    Not sure where I’m going with this.
