We really need a modern day Robin Hood hacker type

  There’s a reason Mr Robot is still incredibly popular

    That, and because it’s at least moderately accurate to how actual infosec breaches work

      “Fight club for nerds afraid to get punched” is my favorite description, even tho Elliot routinely gets his ass beat.

  closest thing we had to it was arrested in a Mcdonalds because some dumbass making less than 12 dollars and hour dropped a dime on him.

    Luigi is innocent, we were playing videogames together

    And I don’t think they even got the reward money they claimed they’d give out for turning him in but I’m not sure.

    You really should learn about how that actually happened…

    Because it’s most likely going to be how the case gets thrown out. If you care about it, I don’t know why anyone would willing stay ignorant

      Less hints more links my guy! Strong “parallel construction” vibes but I haven’t seen anything real solid yet and like to think I’m reasonably tuned in

    He really shouldn’t have stopped in Allentown. That’s the redneck meth capital of PA.

    The deification of Luigi really pisses me off because he didn’t do shit to help anyone. Robin Hood wasn’t a deranged murderer, he stole from the rich to help the poor. What the fuck did Luigi actually accomplish with his idiotic “plan”? It just shows how dire the current situation is that people are desperately latching onto that clown as some kind of revolutionary, when in reality he is nothing of the sort.

      In the aftermath there was a wave of insurance companies approving procedures they had been stalling for a while. People’s cancer treatments were finally approved and a multitude of common folk where allowed to live because the rich realized how vulnerable they are.

      Luigi wasn’t deranged either. He was stopping a mass murderer who monetized suffering. Luigi made the world a better place with a little perseverance and resourcefulness. It’s admiring to see folks still want to work.

      We can agree to disagree on this one, I think every single thing you said is incorrect. I hope you have a good day, and I also hope your life saving or even life improving medical treatments are never denied due to insufficient authorization.

  And modern day guillotine while at it.

    The neat thing is that guillotine technology has advanced quite far since the French revolution

  There are tons, op. Getting ahold of a corporate card and ordering strangers (maybe you’re one of them, maybe you aren’t) presents is a classic for a reason. You just never hear about victories of the resistance, that’s kinda propaganda 101

  Having worked with highly regulated industries like banking, health care, and others that a “Robin Hood” hacker would target I can say that it’s not feasible.

  Do you know how many days of Zoom meetings they’d have to be on to compromise just one system?

    That’s management. The actual physical RFID card generator is on an employee’s Windows laptop with the password sticky noted on the screen.

      Okay so now you’re in one system in one company. And that person still needs approval and a four hour zoom call to push anything into a position where it can make a difference.

      I know, I’ve been on dozens of calls like that.

      And even then you’ve pwned one of about a dozen companies.
