An anonymous reader writes "Some hackers out there don't like to do all the hard work of running a successful phishing campaign. Instead, they developed a simple online service to 'steal' account details from the hard-working phishers. Named AutoWhaler, the service allows anyone to scan a phishing server for log files that contain juicy information such as usernames and passwords."

These young hackers causing all this hutinanity and without any real work.
Back in my days youngans, Hacking or cracking as it was sometimes called, while still illegal was something to be respected, you had to know what you were doing to break into a system and the harder the break-in the more respect you got... Now todays you kids got all comerical and you can break into computers without having the break into them. You just ask someone for the passwords and they give them to you... Dag-nabbit that is not hacking that sounds like politicians to me.

Let's hope they take it all the way to CMMI Level 5. Then we won't have to worry any more - they'll be too busy working on their process documents to steal.
Anon because I work at a CMMI-5 company...

That is the most asinine, idiotic comment I have ever read. If your intellect was 1/8th of mine, you would simply burn your keyboard and never show your face on /. again. I shall now go back to reveling in my own smugness - the rest of you may continue the conversation.

"Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.
And the great fleas themselves, in turn, have greater fleas to go on,
While these again have greater still, and greater still, and so on."

Yes. If you're going to steal, then steal from a known thief, because he's unlikely to go to the cops and report you.

Sometimes I convince myself that this person's wall of text/stream of conciseness will say something insightful or meaningful, and I should read it.
So I read it.

I'm sad that someone choose to marry you, and I really doubt that anyone cares about your mommy/daddy issues.

Until one day she chatted coy,

Turns out it was a 12 year old,
