I was wondering because a few months ago on the radio I was listening to a guy talking about a hacking challenge he wanted to be done to him. He wanted people to hack his info without using force. So what happened is that these people found out he gave his with his old laptop which he didn't reset. They did some type of fish virus or whatever it's called that got them access to the system. Since he didn't rest it the thing still had his emails and old passwords on it. They ended up getting access to his emails because with his old passwords he had a habit to them. So because of that they were able to get an idea of what he might use which ended up being the right ones. So then is it possible to hack people Hollywood style or will you need their emails and passwords to get access to their info?

Phishing?
