My cousin in Miami asked me to 'hack' his ex's Instagram for him
I told him that's a felony and explained password managers instead. Anyone else get wild requests from family after they find out what you do?

Totally agree with graytorres, that law is no joke. My cousin just got all quiet and changed the subject like I was being dramatic. People really don't get that "hack" isn't some magic word, it's just breaking the law. They see movies and think there are no real consequences.

Wait, isn't accessing someone's account without permission a federal crime under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act? I thought that law covered stuff like this even for social media. You did the right thing shutting that down. What did your cousin say after you explained it?
