How Hacking Actually Happens

How I thought hacking worked based on movies: ACCESS GRANTED (hil) How hacking actually happens: hacking... Haha! From: Bank@yahoo.com To: BabyBoomer@AOL.com "Hi it's me the bank, can you please send us your username and password Mr. Boomer?" From: BabyBoomer@AOL.com To: Bank@yahoo.com "Yes here is all my information"

The meme contrasts the dramatic movie version of hacking, with hackers in leather, green code, masks and cyberpunk cats, against the real-world version: a scam email politely asks an unsuspecting boomer for login details, and he sends all his information. The joke is that many successful hacks rely on simple social engineering and gullibility rather than advanced computer skills.
