Can you give a description of how this works for the technically competant? You need to be very, very sure this is llegal.

Did they forget to check authentication and put private data on a publicly accessible website? I know it's the common sense equivalent of putting a reading poster on a public building, but people have been portraied in the media and court as "leet cyber-hackers" for that kind of thing. The current computer crime laws are very, very general/broad/vague. In theory everytime you visit a website you break them. You could end up like Aaron Swartz or Andrew Auernheimer link

Judges and Juries may well listen, with fear, to a prosecutor say "hacks into Congress" and snooze though the technical description.

Also I can easily read your phone and fax number from the photo verification picture that you posted.

Hi Robert.

I skimmed Laws of Power and know a few who read it.

I'm no psychology buff, but I can't help wondering if most of the people who read that book are aggressive narcissist control-freaks who intend to use the information to live out some grandiose fantasy of malevolently manipulating other people. 1 Would you say that some of, or even a majority of, Laws of Power's readers are like this? 2 If so, would reading the book be good for their psyche and 3 would you say that Laws of Power had a net positive or net negative effect on the world in terms of morality?

I don't mean to be rude. This kind of thing bothers me. Is that normal or am I crazy?
