Anyone open an account that ties into another account? What they typically do is deposit a little bit of money (in the tens of cents usually) in your linked account and then you have to verify the exact amount.
This guy wrote a script that created thousands of accounts and managed to make about $50,000. What's funny is that when I recently did this, the exact same thought occurred to me. However, I had enough common sense not to act on it.

Funny they call him a hacker. Which is technically correct, but only in the classical definition of hacker, not the media's definition.
