Somehow, I think there's more to this story. I know that I sometimes play with a site's URL parameters, especially if I'm going to be giving them my credit card information and it looks like they're doing something non-standard or risky.
Of course, even with that caveat, criminalizing this sort of 'hacking' (or even calling it such) is absolutely absurd.
- mootothemax 14y agoOf course, even with that caveat, criminalizing this sort of 'hacking' (or even calling it such) is absolutely absurd. I don't know, it seems pretty simple to me: don't play with other people's toys unless they give you permission in advance. If that means not handing over your own hard-earned money, well, at that point you've voted with your wallet. Better to tell the company why you're doing it in advance than cause stress on their side wondering "what on earth is this user doing?" ;)
