One thing I occasionally do after a beer or two is reset someone’s password using my email address — just revenge in my opinion.
The best is when the lawyers get all official with me. Yeah, no - this is your mistake, don't get all uppity that you sent sensitive stuff to the wrong address.
From time to time I think about responding with a Goatse, but that's too much even for me.
The one who handed out thousands of business cards, and who has the same MI as the start of our last name, has caused the most sensitive information to be sent to me, by far.
Like … I don't take orders from an email. You're basically begging to be uploaded to the Internet like that.
Don't you risk a crime of breaking into someone's account? Regardless, that could cause someone real harm.
If they don't like that they should use their own email address instead. If it was unintentional, it is their fault for not paying attention.
The internet is global, and American laws aren't super relevant.
And if in that envelope it says I opened a bank account, I am allowed to close it or at least ask the bank wtf they are doing.
Now I'd always argue for not acting destructively and be nice to people, e.g. assume they made a mistake and help them fix it. But if you are confusing my inbox with your own, you shouldn't be surprised if I read your mail. Mail that might expose other people's secrets.
How does that work?
Essentially it’s his account although legally I don’t know how that would go if say you emptied someones bank account
