The basic point is that of over 200,000 iPhones checked, about 15% could be unlocked with just the ten most commonly used passwords. Add in some time to steal it, you have made about $40 an hour for your time.Įven more interesting is this article (which wasn't yet published 2 years ago when this thread was started): Let's say it takes two hours to crack, and you sell it for $100. If there isn't a way to lock it after several attempts, then what is the point? If someone is a fast typer, they could get the unit unlocked fairly quick. It is not the place of us average users to tell other average users what they can or can't post. If the moderators thought that old threads should be closed to further posting they are certainly capable of doing that. The bitching about someone posting in an old thread offends me a lot more than the action itself. And occasionally we do see an old thread legitimately revisited. I certainly don't know that was what this post was all about. But I can usually confirm they are very active spammers with the help of sites like BotScout, so they don't last long enough on that forum to see what they are up to. I'm not sure what the logic is, maybe it is just to establish themselves in the forum, maybe it is an intent to come back later and edit their spam URLs into the posts. I moderate on a different forum, and have seen over the years that spammers often post nonsense or noise posts ("thanks for that info" type of things). He was just putting stupid comments taking dozens of very old topics to the top of the list - why? nobody ever figured out why.Īfter several warnings he was booted forever from the forum. It wasn't like he was saying - Oh, I have a question about this. It wasn't like he was saying - oh, I have this problem too, can you help me?
Well, a few years ago I was involved in a forum where there was one guy who made comments on threads that were years old.
