Real OGs remember ISP_Fuck.txt
Back in the day we had Skype resolvers. Put in a Skype username, get an IP address back. A few enterprising young individuals then went to a bunch of ISPs/carriers and brute forced their way through the terms of the trade.
TWC had a tool called "Einstein" if memory serves. It was as easy as giving a phished employee name/ID to the tech support person and asking for a DNS (IP address) lookup for "account verification." The tech would then give us name/DOB/addy/SSN/etc on whoever was behind the IP we gave them.
WE WERE 13. 13 YEAR OLDS DID THIS. 13 YEAR OLDS DID THE LEGWORK TO GET THE TOOLS/LINGO/EMPLOYEE INFO/EVERYTHING. TEENAGERS.
Sim swapping isn't some new thing that popped up in the later 2010s/early 2020s. We were doing it back in 2011. I had a friend who had someone who worked at a T-Mobile retail location that would help for free McDonald's when we needed something with that carrier done/looked up. TEENAGERS.
And why were we doing all of this? Generally it was:
1.) Minecraft griefing/harassment
2.) We wanted an OG username (yeah we came before OGUsers)
3.) "Wouldn't it be funny if..." or "I wonder if I can..."
4.) We were trans, had shit families, and wanted to take it out on someone else
