Uncategorized Conversation with a hacker Dave Webb @itworldca Published: January 18th, 2012As I wrote in another post, my Yahoo and Facebook accounts were compromised this morning, with some scam artist claiming to be me, in London, mugged and broke, looking for someone to wire him money. A suspicious friend, Lawrence Cummer, engaged him in a Facebook chat. Here's the transcript (the time is 10:52 Eastern). 16 minutes agoDave WebbHihow are you doing? 13 minutes agoLaw CummerHi!Good, how are you?Haven't seen you on here in a while. 13 minutes agoDave WebbAm not too good at the momentIn some kind of mess 12 minutes agoLaw CummerOh no.
