Hacking accounts without consent of the victim is probably illegal. So normally you'd use an account you own (or your friend/colleague owns), but the challenge is excluding those. The company setting up special test accounts can be a good option as well, but needs to be done in good faith and is problematic when the attack is social engineering based.
So the challenge is either giving attackers permission to hack accounts of strangers, or requires the attacker to engage in potentially illegal behaviour. Neither of which is acceptable.
I assume this is just badly phrased, and what was actually intended was a requirement that the victim doesn't collude with or help the attacker.
