2023 LC Thread - It was predetermined that I would change the thread title (Part 1)

Annualcreditreport.com begins by asking for your name, address, SSN and birthday. After I supplied that and told Annualcreditreport.com I wanted my report from Experian, I was taken to Experian.com to complete the identity verification process.

Kushnir told me that when the questions page loads, you simply change the last part of the URL from “/acr/oow/” to “/acr/report,” and the site would display the consumer’s full credit report.

But when I tried to get my report from Experian via annualcreditreport.com, Experian’s website said it didn’t have enough information to validate my identity. It wouldn’t even show me the four multiple-guess questions. Experian said I had three options for a free credit report at this point: Mail a request along with identity documents, call a phone number for Experian, or upload proof of identity via the website.

But that didn’t stop Experian from showing me my full credit report after I changed the Experian URL as Kushnir had instructed — modifying the error page’s trailing URL from “/acr/OcwError” to simply “/acr/report”.

Experian’s website then immediately displayed my entire credit file.

Just need someone’s name, address, SSN and birthday (which is out their on the dark web for pretty much anyone now), and you can see their whole credit report.

This is a sign of so much more than just this one security bug. That something this basic could slip through to production and not be noticed for so long, at a company like Experian, is mind-boggling.

Be sure you grab your red stapler.

I think you’re off for several reasons. Laws in Texas, and most states for that matter, give a ton of leeway to the person defending.

The shots in the back are justified under the law. The threat is still there, and people are taught to keep firing once you start. There’s no half measures.

The last bit is the issue I suppose, but I highly doubt that they’ll go after him for it.

Lastly, I think there’s lots of good reasons for not talking to the cops and that leaving doesn’t imply a guilty conscience

I checked out that Milloy dude’s posts. Summary: he’s a piece of work.

Last week’s arrests began with investigators receiving more evidence after an undercover law enforcement officer posing as an underage girl helped arrest a member of 1st Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group back in December. That individual was known to moonlight as a bouncer at a bar in Southern Pines frequented by the Special Forces community, a military source close to the situation explained to Connecting Vets. The Green Beret is alleged to have been pimping underaged girls to the Special Forces community at drug-fueled parties in Southern Pines.

“This is what happens when there is no war, no direction, and an 18-month red cycle with no mission,” a Special Forces soldier said. “So dudes are fucking around with young kids and the craziest drugs. All these lives ruined because people are just bored.”

IDK, I feel like I’d finally get around to reading Infinite Jest and playing Red Dead Redemption 2.

The obvious answer which of course will never happen because THAT’S SOCIALISM is to just get all these idle bored dudes to fix America’s infrastructure. Maybe they can build one school or hospital in America for every 10 they accidentally blow up in the Middle East.

I’m surprised media outlets are not required to redact his name.

Meanwhile, the Arizona GOP is attempting to pass legislation that would require teachers to misgender GNC and trans students.

Never mind how many cisgender and intersex people this would affect. To me, the trans distinction is increasingly meaningless unless to distinguish a conversation about anyone who is or isn’t trying to delay progress of the status quo.

Gotta wait until they have enough information about potential consequences of dismantling systemic bigotry :roll_eyes:

Strangely I doubt this will even register in pizzagate-land.

Everything is human trafficking, except actual human trafficking, which is just boys being boys because they’re bored.

Reminds me of parties growing up in a rural Midwest town.
