Permalink
Transcript
[Hairy and White Hat are standing across from each other at a table. Each has a laptop open in front of him.]
Hairy: Here's my plan: we start a viral quiz to trick people into posting the name of the street they lived on as a kid.
Hairy: Then we use it to steal their identity!
White Hat: Okay.
White Hat: Just checking, you know voter files and mortgages and stuff are mostly public records, right?
Hairy: Huh? What are you talking about?
White Hat: ...Nothing. We can do your thing.
