The Internet Is Too Unsafe: We Need More Hackers
A Letter from a Web Developer

Hacker Initiation
Are you interested in ethical hacking? If so, you might enjoy this new tutorial.
A while ago I stumbled upon a vulnerability on a website with millions of users.
Yeah, you heard that right: stumbled upon.
The thing is, I’m not a hacker. Far from it — I’ve never tried to hack anything.
I was browsing the website as usual and realized it had a potential vulnerability. And then I got scared, really scared.
I knew enough about these things to know that:
a) What I found could potentially be very dangerous for them
b) A wrong move in possession of this knowledge could be problematic for me
So I did what you’re supposed to do — I reported it. 4 times.
