Do you think that hackers who use twitter to brag are asking to be caught?

From experience, people who brag about their skill at hacking have none at all. They probably use one of the many scripts posted all over the Internet, and try for long enough, will find an account with rubbish security. Or they just chat to people, asking them questions to feed their ego until they give enough away for the hacker to make a good guess at a password. talking about their pets, family, friends, addresses, even getting a phone number, when the majority of people either use these details to set up their password, or easier, as a source for the security question and answer. They can then use the forgot password button, answer the question, and make up a sob story about losing their original email account. 90% of hacking is done by "friends".
