Breaking into email. Possible? Even for hotmail etc?
-
Hey guys,
I come across forum threads which carry ads that say they can break into hotmail/yahoo etc addresses. There are even websites (like www.crackspider.com or http://www.hackv2.tk/)
Anyway they all seem to say the same kinda thing. That they will give you :
a) Proof of the hack into the targeted email address
b) And only then do you have to pay them
They all ask for :
a) Your name and email address
b) Your target name and email address
c) Your country (I dont understand why)
They NEVER ask for your password, so its not a scam...
OR is it? I dont know. Thats why I write this post.
Does anyone know if this is just a con job? Or can anyone see or think of how this can be used maliciously? -
spam....again

it can definitely be done even if its just by brute force of using a program to run through the possible passwords.Originally posted by jimmyjamjam21:Hey guys,

however why do you want to do that anyway? i suggest not doing it it smells of fruad............. -
Yeah I know it smells like some scam... just cant figure out what the scam is from these people... thing is they say they'll provide you proof before you pay. So whats the angle for these people.
Curious not to know that email can be hacked, thats not the point.
Point is that there seems to be a scam out there which I think everyone should be warned about - but for the life of me, I cant quite understand what the scam is. -
Do stay away esp. u find it's not correct or....
