Re:How I got my username on nearly every site on Wednesday July 17, 2019 @11:04AM (#20460207)
It's social engineering. Even I felt uneasy seeing how the author was able to take usernames. However, this isn't very different from other white/black-hat hackers getting into others' accounts by simply contacting support and providing minimal proof.
I don't think they believe it either. It's just easier to treat people as criminals by default. Why go through the effort of engineering things properly when you can have 10+ cops break down your door and shoot your dog?
