- exodust 9y agoAnd really this has nothing to do with Facebook at all, it's not a good title.
- macintux 9y agoEh, Instagram is owned by Facebook, so I gave that a pass.
- exodust 9y agoI thought the point was about the risks of posting images of boarding passes on the internet. Where they happen to be posted seems irrelevant to me, but whatever.
- _asummers 9y agoI've seen that meme get passed around Facebook for several different airlines, several times. It's always so lazy too "this company that's been around for 60 years is turning 88! Wow get your free tickets because thats what companies do when they turn 88!"
- netsharc 9y agoIt seems the attacker/pen-tester got access to the guy's passport number. I wonder how easy it would be to do identify theft and gain entry into other accounts.
- babuskov 9y agoA much better title would be: Post a boarding pass online, get your identity stolen.
