Oh, I see. That is creepy.

That's not creepy. That's awful. So when you put your password into the school's website, they would just hand that password right to Fazal so he could do whatever he wanted with it. And this is a really good reminder that when we log in somewhere, anywhere, we're giving our password to the app or the website. I mean, we trust that they aren't looking at our password or storing it in clear text.

We trust that they're hashing it or encrypting it so they can't see it even if they wanted. But here's a clear example of what could go wrong if we trust a website too much. Exact employees could see the user's passwords and try using those passwords on their social media accounts to see if they reuse the password there.

And they would sometimes be able to log in to Facebook or LinkedIn or even their email inboxes.

Okay, but why are exact employees even logging into people's Facebook accounts at all?

Dang, dude, this is the bunk. That's what this is. Fake university, hacking into students' accounts and fake degrees. It's a scam. It's a big, big scam.

Okay, and what would you do with that?

Man, you know what? I've made accounts on these career websites before, and yet it seems like the moment you apply for a job or post your resume, you instantly get flooded with emails about jobs you're seeking, and it's extremely hard to unstick yourself from this relentless barrage of job opportunities.

It's almost like these sites have an active data breach or are selling your data as soon as you give it to them. Once, I applied for a job in 2008. On one of these job recruitment sites. And I'm still getting emails from people today saying they found the perfect job for me. Alright, we at step one yet?

Didn't any of this feel wrong? Like, were you maybe thinking twice about giving someone a fake degree?
