"Hey all, thought I'd share a crazy story from a few years back. Managed to break into a client's server and they actually paid me to fix the issue instead of reporting me to the cops. Lessons learned: sometimes the best hack is playing dumb and getting paid, but that's not a strategy to be relied on for future success"

"Dude, that's either the most ballsy or reckless thing I've ever heard of. Not saying I'm pro-hacking or anything, but I am curious - what kind of 'lessons learned' did you take away from this experience? Hopefully you're not gonna be on the wanted list for long"

"Dude, I'm both impressed and terrified by your story. Glad you got paid and out in one piece, but seriously, don't share this kind of stuff publicly, it's not exactly a 'how-to' manual. We got enough noobs trying to repeat your exploits without encouraging them."

"Dude, you're either incredibly talented or just plain lucky. Either way, glad to hear it all went down without any major fallout, but let's keep this kinda convo off the main thread, y'know for obvious reasons."
