POST EDITED: Thanks to Shreevardhan, I have decided to remove this post as it encourages hacking. Personally I am fine with minor hacks which doesn’t harm anyone but this post was encouraging stealing of usernames. Extremely sorry for publishing it in first place and thanks to Shreevardhan and others for alerting me.

This post is in bad taste. You are encouraging hacking in your blog which is not fair. Please post something creative instead of such destructive ideas. Why play with others’ hard earned money to satisfy your internet needs.

Thanks for removing this post. It’s good to see that you value the inputs of your readers. As you’ve mentioned in the post, I too am OK with minor hacks and I practice it myself. But this particular article would have meant loss to innocent people.
I appreciate your gesture. Thanks again.

Encourages “hacking”? It’s a tech blog, it’s a security exploit, people should know about it.

@Psh,
May be yes, but if you had read this post, it involved asking the customer care about the details of some other user, which is highly unethical and hardly anything to do with security flaw. Probably I should post about how the customer care processes are flawed in Airtel.
Thanks for your views

Its like stealing. You steal a coin or a bank, both are the same. you stole. same way, you hacked

@Arvind Bhatt -
its not the same. In this case you are stealing the password of some lame users and pinching their pockets, but in other hacks, you are just exposing the security vulnerabilities and making sure that the service provider upgrades his security.
