Genius knows no bounds
So, some really really smart guy emailed attrition.org and asked them to hack his GPA. The email exchange that the attrition folks orchestrated is beautiful, including such nuggets as:
"First, let's be clear. You are soliciting me to break the law and hack into a computer across state lines. That is a federal offense and multiple felonies. Obviously I can't trust anyone and everyone that mails such a request, you might be an FBI agent, right?
So, I need three things to make this happen:
1. A picture of a squirrel or pigeon on your campus. One close-up, one with background that shows buildings, a sign, or something to indicate you are standing on the campus.
2. The information I mentioned so I can find the records once I get into the database."
3. Some idea of what I get for all my trouble."
