Wow! It is true. Within 3 minutes I had a scanned image of somebody's (valid) drivers license and social security card.

Dumbasses.

Good job Drew! A couple of more clicks, and you can set up a credit card with the info.

Then use the credit card to buy a couple dozen boxes of high priced coobans.

I want halfsies for the idea .

Well, I managed to find a scanned credit card...front and back. Along with a pile of credit card authorization forms...filled out with the holder's full name, cc number, expiry date and address.

I even found some documents penned by the CFO of a large company.

Some people

This is the scariest thing I have seen on the internet!

I thought you guys were exaggerating, so I downloaded the program (after checking for any sensitive files on my PC).

Just like Drew said, in a few minutes of fooling around, I have credit card numbers, login names to banks, drivers licence numbers etc.

I got a buisness file that lists customers total credit information.

What if your idiot kid downloads the program? Or, like I said, one of the files came from what looked like a small buisness. What if some dumb secretary installs the program on her work PC?

This thing should not be out there.

Thanks for the heads up fellas.

So what are torrents? Ive heard the term before but never knew what it was.

Torrents are the best way to share files right now. With programs like Limewire, Napster, and DirectConnect, users select a folder(s) that they wish to share with everyone else. When you try to download a file, you are searching the other user's shared folders and hoping someone has what you are looking for.

A torrent is a small file that contains the information of the file you're trying to get. This way, you can get small pieces of the file from many users who may or may not have the entire thing. The result is much faster and reliable downloads and as far as know is much more secure.

PM me if you want to know how to get it to work.
