New Technical questions or hacking?

by trockii . Updated 21 years, 6 months ago

Has anyone else been noticing the weird and unusual questions that have been asked in the Technical Q&A section? I have read about 4 today that ask about “cracking” passwords and getting free cracks for software and such. I always considered this website a place for the professionals of our trade to come and get help from others in the same profession. I feel now it’s becoming a place for hackers to come and find out ways to hack into a co-workers or some other computer they may have come in contact with along their way. I for one will not assist in helping anyone “crack” someone else’s password protected screensaver or password protected BIOS. If you are an administrator and need access you can always reset an unknown pw if for whatever reason the password creator is unavailable (fired, death, or anything else) Does anyone else feel this way? or is it just me?
