So my gf is arguing with me that she knows a military guy who is a hacker lol. She doesn’t know it understand anything about it. She claims he gets YouTube premium for free cos he can hack. She claims he showed. Her I asked her if he open a box in the browser with a bunch of text and she said yes. Obviously he’s using inspect element/developer console to do something, I’m assuming he just change the logo. When I instpect the YouTube logo I’m not sure how to change it cos it’s not like some sites that just have a link to am image.

I know this is dumb. I just get really would up cos she thinks everyone is smarter than me.

Can someone help me out what does this mean exactly email I received. Is this an attempted phishing attack on me….

Hello fellow Redditers. So I recently received two emails the other day from life360. One went to my inbox the other went to my spam folder. The one that went to my inbox had my ex baby mama name on it and it said she enabled data protection but was addressed to my email. When we was together we never had that shit. The email that went to my spam was a life360 password reset. I’m no dummy and I been teaching my self alot of this hacking stuff. So b4 confronting her I 1st go to the official life360 website and put in my email and click forgot password of course it said no records of my email was found in there system. I go back and check the message source for the 2 messages the one that went to my inbox it all checked out. Then the one that went to my spam was full of Xs but this is what really got my gears turning is when I seen this. PHPMailer 6.6.4 (https:github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer) I know what github is used for i cloned many repositories from git but as I said I’m still somewhat a beginner. I ran the IPs in the message source but I know those can be made to look like they came from the actual source if I’m not mistaken. I know she has a grudge cause I ended up with our daughter full time. What gets me going is finding github in the email that went to spam but not the one that went to inbox it’s obviously fake emails both because even the official Life360 website had no records of my email…..

Sorry for the wall of text I just wanted to try and paint a picture for you guys to better help you guys help me…

So I got a parental lock on my computer…. and it is preventing healthy computer practices. I cannot just simply ask for the password… so I want to try and find it. How would I go about this?
It’s a standard Windows 10 parental lock, basically asking me for password for simple things like: “Do you want app to make changes?” or “Give application admin.” etc. I just want to easily update my drives and get a disk cleaner, but… I want to get that experience of breaking into my own computer.
Any suggestions on how to get started?
