*Facebook Hackers follow the Rules*
(real story)

TL;DR: sorry, not available, can't do spoilers

One night I was with a group of friends out at a pub. A guy and his girlfriend show up, I didn't know them but they were my friend's friends.

The girl kept bragging the whole time about his boyfriend being a professional programmer, trying to remind it to everybody whenever possible (don't ask me why!).

So, after a while, the discussion moves towards "suspect Facebook activities" and the guy starts saying that he can hack Facebook.

- "What do you mean?", I ask.
- "Hacking into other people's accounts, even with 2 factor authentication. I did it a lot of times"
- "Wait, and they don't notice?"
- "Of course not! ^_^ He's a hacker", the girl replies.

Ok, time to do a coming out.

- "Hey, I'm a developer myself. Can you give me an idea of what you did in technical terms? Did you find a vulnerability? Used a virus? Maybe a keylogger?"
- "No... Uh... Well... The secret is to read the terms of service"
- "What?"
- "Yes... yes it's all in the facebook terms of service..."
- "Uhm, I'm not really sure I'm following. Could you prove it by hacking my Facebook account? I'm giving you the permission".

In less than a minute the discussion flew completely away and they never mentioned computers again.

    Your criminal friends are not impressive.

    Try to become friends with the one guy in each company that dares to eat the cookies in the meeting room that are only for visitors. Would be a step forward.

    I can hack your Facebook, if you give me your username, password and your phone. I'll do it in a matter of seconds and way faster than any other hacker out there.

    @trubesv I used to eat a few too many cakes when it was a colleagues birthday, but never the cookies... My CTO would have beat me xD

    I personally let em be... I would say that I am a dev just to hint them not to bullshit around in my presense but wouldn't go as far as asking for proof. This kind of behaviour has insecurity written all over it. No need to rub it in.

    @cyberlord64 yeah I just hate the fact that they make my non-tech friends think that any random moron can invisibly hack their account... That's terror policy

    Reminds me of a ex girlfriend...
    She was a expert on computers... Before meeting me.
    Stopped bragging about it after that.
    Btw I found the betrayal after hacking her fb account... Eyes are excellent keyloggers
