I think your selling the victims short here. The law firm could of been more discrete. e.g. "Hello X, We are investigating a case involving the government hacking journalists. You are a person of interest in this case. The government records show that your password is Y. Can you confirm or deny that this was your password around the dates Z?"
- dTal 10y agoWell, at the very least, "the sixth was nearly a match" is pretty damning. "Nono, you've got it wrong, MY password is hunterTHREE - you see there was this incident..."
- RubenSandwich 10y agoI'm gonna continue to play Devils advocate here and that person in question could of merely confirmed that it was close. But realistically I think your right. People will gladly handout passwords to people who sound authoritative. It's amazing to me how many DEFCON talks begin with: "So we just pretended to be X and asked for their password and got it."
- pritambaral 10y agoOT: I see you've used "could of" multiple times. Just wanted to say it's "could have". Cheers.

- RubenSandwich 10y agoThank you for the pointer. English is not my first language so I often get the grammar wrong.
