I think it kind of is. There wasn't really hacking involved here, just people taking advantage of an older woman and "pwning" her. Really cringey if you ask me.
- kqr 11y agoThis was the day when you learned how a huge portion of serious "hacking" is done. Taking advantage of the right older women is a very time efficient way of gaining access to systems you shouldn't have access to. If you want to know more, I can recommend The Art of Deception by Kevin Mitnick.
