"She" sent me a friend request on 2009/12/31, which I accepted, [hey, there's lots of cute hacker women] but we knew in a few days that something was fishy. See my post to "her" facebook wall on 2010/01/07.

After some background discussion with people in security you might recognize, some of us kept her on our friend list, to see what "she" was up to.

Anyway, thanks to all the corporate and government guys who though that someone who was a friend of mine must be trustworthy enough to hire. :!

Some forms of communication are just not considered to be appropriate for some types of information

Dedicated Halo 2 Fans Keep Multiplayer Alive 239

On April 15th, Microsoft terminated Xbox Live support for the original Xbox console, marking the end of online multiplayer for many older games. However, a group of Halo 2 players have refused to give up online play by leaving their consoles on and connected since then. Overheating consoles and dropped connections have taken their toll, but at present, 13 players are still going strong.

You might want to reconsider doing such things - you could end up in prison.

Ten years ago, I went over to the local Jesuit University library to do some research. Cool, they have computers [Win98]! What can I do? Hmm, not much. Stuff is missing - they locked it all down somehow. Wait, there's something...

Foolproof? WTF is that? Clickety click...

Twenty years before that, we only managed to escalate our privileges a little - but that was on the uni's mainframe.
