You’ve changed a price on a website you were checking out on to see if it worked. You’ve messed around where you shouldn’t have and you’ve always thought it would be fun to do that full time in a way that didn’t make you feel like an evil person or that karma would catch up to you. Maybe you’ve messed with folks in the past too much and want to earn some good karma points by helping us secure our high volume software and systems.
