Many of these accounts are from Brazilians (like me) who use shitty passwords (unlike me). I checked a few of them and they seem legit. I was even able to log into one of the user's hotmail account, it was a real person. Not saying all of them are, but at least a few arent.


>I was even able to log into one of the user's hotmail account, it was a real person.

Why do people do this? Or rather, why do people do this and then admit to it in public forums?

This is unethical and probably illegal.


I sent an email himself saying that his account was hacked, he should change his pwd and I didnt steal anything


It is not that I care or that I think that you did something immoral, IMO you didn't harm anyone but it is still probably illegal (obviously depending on the jurisdiction).


You care a lot
