I feel like a better analogy, especially in this case, would be "it's not breaking into the house, it's looking in the window". Non-technical people would generally understand the equivalent of, say, a business leaving a stack of personal files next to a sidewalk window and someone calling up the news to say "this could lead to identity theft!".
- mcbits 10y agoFrom what little is described of this "hack", it does sound akin to looking in a window that nobody noticed was open. In general, uninvited pentesting is more like going around and checking doorknobs to see if they're locked. Not sure if that's illegal (in Slovenia no less), but I can't blame someone for feeling really uptight about it.
