McDonalds employees set world record for idiotcy

I read some long reviews of it. Apparently he was only an average hacker but had great people skills, and most of the real juice of what he did was simply by talking to people on the phone and getting them to surrender information. It was kind of creepy.

People are terribly sloppy with this kind of thing regularly. I think most people don't really understand how common and bad this kind of thing is. If you're an employer, you can find out all kinds of things about people, etc. Or if you're a snoopy employee, like the bank tellers who check out the credit histories of guys they want to date(my friend tells me the girls in banks did this all the time when he worked there, though it's illegal).
