You don’t have to hack an account these days since people use networks like Facebook, MySpace or Twitter. You don’t even have to sign in yourself to get plenty of information, just through Google search. Most of those users don’t even protect their profiles. Once I tested Facebook for a couple of weeks and was surprised who appeared on my ‘people you might know’ list. Even Sharon Ellul Bonici and Joseph Muscat were around. Scary that was.

Once you have a name it is easy to find out the related email address, with help from a ‘people search machine’.
