I used to run a tech job board in the UK called Hacker Jobs. I used to get two or three emails a week from folk (almost always outside of the UK) asking me to hack into Facebook and gmail accounts.
The best thing was that the job board was very obviously a normal tech job board yet these people had to dig pretty deep into the site to find my contact email.
- coldpie 10y agoThe development IRC channel for the Wine project is #winehackers, and we pretty regularly get morons asking what kind of hacking tools we develop, or if we can help them crack some software's DRM.
- startling 10y agoCan you blame them? Wine and hacking does sound like fun.
- ffjffsfr 10y agoThat was really useful site, I think I found some job via this couple of years ago. Is it no longer in existence? Why?
- Peroni 10y agoThanks! It was fun and it seemed to help a few people but unfortunately after a bit of a fall-out with the dude that I ran it with, I stepped away from it and he doesn't seem to be doing anything with it at anymore.
- zachlatta 10y agoSame deal. I work on a nonprofit called Hack Club that helps high schoolers start after-school coding clubs. Literally, the first thing you see when you go to https://hackclub.com https://hackclub.com is "We help high schoolers start awesome after-school coding clubs" and I've received at least a few hundred emails asking me to hack into Facebook and Gmail accounts.
