Best friends sister asked me if I could hack a phone or a router or something for her. Asked if the owner was alright with it. She said yes. Asked her for a picture of the interface. She sent me three pictures:
IPhone interface
Router interface
Blackberry phone interface.

😐

"I'll give you the iPhone through {best friends name}".

I have the phone now.

She's saying that I hacked their wifi.

I haven't even booted the phone yet.
I never connected to her network.
I don't know where she lives.

Dafuq.

@Haxk20 Yeah screenshotted the convo :)

In the Future you will be convicted to hard labour for attempted hacking under the UN Anti Cybercrime resolution of 2026.

@heyheni why 2026? They already have life sentences for hackers. And for the really smart guys there's always guantanamo, where you don't even have to give ppl a trial

@heyheni they actually give one an opportunity to become a white hat hacker, instead of prison time. I have a friend who had to do that. Worked out quite well for him; no prison and a job he enjoyed doing. I don't recommend going that route, though, just in case they don't need another WHH.

Wow! You can hack by just thinking about it 😨

I really hate "cyber crimes" laws, especially in the uk. They're often written by people that have no fucking clue about technology, and they're harsh as hell.

A bit of a strawman, but: If you point out a security flaw, you can go to jail. Likewise, if someone just says you hacked them, you can get everything confiscated. If you write software that inadvertently contains a vulnerability and someone exploits it to cause damage, it's possible you can also be found guilty. It's ridiculous.

Ignorant fools blindly attacking the scary unknown.

(Yet "Big Brother"-like behavior is totally acceptable? Wtf?)

@Ashkin shit like this happens in France too. While I'm finishing my studies I'm looking for a country that's got more common sense regarding this topic, northern Europe seems fine

@ClemFrieckie If only knew...

Don't be an idiot

@diddyshyne120 Please explain how I'm an idiot in this case.

@linuxxx I'm not saying you are. I said doing be. I was jk btw

@linuxxx I said don't be. I was just jk anyway.

@diddyshyne120 Doing be? Sorry you lost me there 😅 welcome to devRant by the way!
