Asking the web server to give you information without lying or falsifying any of your request data should in no way equate to walking into random houses that are unlocked.
- soylentnewsorg 5y agoyou are falsifying what customer you are. the guy literally said he put in different customer IDs into the URL after he discovered what part of the string was a customer ID. It would equate to a guy walking to your door, saying he's from the electric company, then reading the medical documents on your desk after you let him in.
- unyttigfjelltol 5y agoThe proper analogy is-- you visit a public clerk and make a formal request via a form, receive the requested document from the clerk. Then, while you're at the clerk's counter you notice a menu up high above, like at a fast food restaurant, listing random commands with no explanation. Curiously, you call one out to the clerk and see what happens. The clerk returns with a crushed can. You call out another. The clerk dumps a roll of pennies on the counter. That's not fraud, it's negligent supervision and stupid design.
- namdnay 5y agoI guess the argument would be that changing the number in the URL is lying, as you are providing an ID that was not assigned to you (Playing devil’s advocate here)
