GONE TO THE AMERICANS!

[xyzzysqrl]

So I'm sitting around today and I notice my email box keeps pinging. Some hacker jerk has found my old WoW/Battle Net account and is trying to hack into it or something. They keep sending password change requests and confirmation token things, probably trying to crack into it to get my decades-old WoW account.

I lost access to that account like six years back, when I couldn't remember the password (or possibly the password got changed out from under me) and although I've since changed passwords on my email and all, this one eludes me still.

So I'm watching my email box and it comes to me: This jerk-ass hacker is spamming password change requests.

They have that password.
I don't have that password. I'm locked out.
But they're sending me the means to change that password.
...
RIGHT. TO ACTION.

Click.
Type fast.
Click.
Type fast again.
Add two-factor authorization.
Click.
Verify.

...
Wait for it.
Did that...
...the spamming stopped, I think... yes.

I got it back. I stole it from the thieves. It's not much, just a trial WoW account and my old Diablo 2 keys. I have a second account that's better. Buuuut...

I REVERSE JERK-HACKED HIS ASS. NOW HE IS THE ONE THAT IS GONE TO THE AMERICANS.

Yes but did you remember to write a gooey interface in visual basic to track his IP address?

The CGI flyby sequences cost too much so I threw a GoPro past a wireframe.

Well done, and congratulations.

YOU ARE BRILLIANT AND I AM IN QUIET AWE OF YOU.

That is the most badass thing I've read about in months! Tales will be told! Songs will be sung! (Or they should be)
