ULPT Request: I know the passcode to an abusive ex. What is the most damaging thing I could do on their phone in the span of 10-15 min?

ITT: Lame tips that Bart Simpson would do as a prank.

[-]

Most damaging thing? Go into their cloud and delete their cloud backup. Next, do a factory reset. And, if it’s not bound to a single carrier, remove the sim card when you’re done and toss it the garbage or smash it.

[-]

jmdaltonjr@reddit

Change passcode to get in.

whitneyscrackpipe@reddit

Go to facebook marketplace and find a guy selling drugs. Set up a meet at the guys house and pay in advance with Venmo. Most likely a cop. If not. Turn him in for drugs

[-]

wootiown@reddit

You guys all suck. This is ULPT.

Find a really fucking gross nude online that could possibly resemble them. Text it to everyone in their contacts. Quickly open Amazon on their phone and see if it has payment info saved then immediately order as many sex toys as you possibly can. Then finally hit em with a factory reset so they lose everything on their phone.

[-]

MrsInTheMaking@reddit

This is dumb because if someone finds out OP did this, its like 10 crimes. ULPT shouldnt get you fuckin arrested 🙄

[-]

wootiown@reddit

There's absolutely no way to prove that OP did those things. It's someone else's phone.

[-]

MrsInTheMaking@reddit

I guess you really dont know that much about digital forensics and signatures then.

[-]

fasterfester@reddit

OK, I’ll bite. Enlighten us on how digital forensics has anything to do with physical access to a device...

[-]

MrsInTheMaking@reddit

First things first, if the owner of the phone can prove their whereabouts and prove a crime was committed on their phone and knew the location of the phone was in their home or somewhere specific the whole time, all it would take is a neighbors ring camera seeing their ex entering their home to create supporting evidence. Various data points like call logs, text messages, location data, app usage history, login details, and even deleted files can identify unusual activity - different communication patterns and/or locations not consistent with the phone's owner can indicate someone else having access to the device. If thats not enough for you - some people have home security cameras IN THEIR HOME so good luck avoiding every bit of digital data out there if you want a fool-proof crime.

[-]

fasterfester@reddit

Digital forensics and signatures = “don’t get caught on camera”

[-]

MrsInTheMaking@reddit

Thats 51% of "without a shadow of a doubt" if that's what youre asking. Thats a conviction.

[-]

fasterfester@reddit

You know that’s not what I was asking, it was a question to help point out the fallacy of your response. You’re desperate to get a “point” in this conversation, and I’m no longer interested.

[-]

MrsInTheMaking@reddit

You pointed out no fallacy because you didnt discount anything I said. Your interest was to be a bully and I disarmed you. Bye Felicia 👋

[-]

wootiown@reddit

You very desperately want to be right don't you lol

[-]

fasterfester@reddit

If this person really is a “MrsInTheMaking”, I hope their significant other understands they are not interested in communicating, only “winning” their argument.

[-]

MrsInTheMaking@reddit

Video and media ARE digital forensics. You okay, bud?

[-]

Midon7823@reddit

Everything here to do with payments is poorly thought out and wouldn't work. They can simply charge back everything with their bank because this is fraud, and if they knew it was you then you could potentially be liable for that fraud. They won't have to return anything. Won't have to ask for money back from the charity. All automated and the merchants can't do anything about it. In fact, they have tools to deal with it because they expect it.

[-]

wootiown@reddit

This is just not true lol chargebacks very much do go back to the merchants. Money doesn't just come from nowhere. I run a business and frequently fight chargebacks.

[-]

camelz4@reddit

And for good measure delete their carrier SIM so they have to go to the store and fix it. Ruined a couple days for me when that happened on my phone.

[-]

Basic_Guarantee_4552@reddit

If op opts for the illegal nudes option, make sure these images are backed up in icloud, or Dropbox or google photos. They scan the hash values of the pics against known images, and if they get a match they automatically notify the national center for missing and exploited children, who then refer the case to the appropriate local authorities. And then....

[-]

Magistricide@reddit

This is basic bitch advice. If they have any investment apps, like Robinhood, take out huge margin loans and use all of your money on 0date out of money options. The value will rapidly decrease and he'll be in crippling debt.

[-]

wootiown@reddit

That's very evil but theres no way you could just take out a loan in someone else's name just by having their phone. You'd need their SSN at a bare minimum and identity theft is a much bigger crime than buying shit on someone else's phone

[-]

Magistricide@reddit

That really depends on the account they're using in Robinhood. Margin is surprisingly the default option, (unless they changed this recently), which means they're technically already approved for the loan. They just haven't actually used that money.
All you would be really doing is executing financial trades in their name.

But yes this is extremely illegal.

[-]

Junior-Package3473@reddit

Oh your nasty! I love your sass 😉

[-]

WheezyGonzalez@reddit

This is the true ULPT advice here

[-]

Sometimes_good_ideas@reddit

Knowing where to find illegal nudes makes you a creep and we don’t like creeps round here partner

[-]

wootiown@reddit

I mean I certainly don't condone it, but for maximum destruction that'll definitely do it. But I agree, finding those within 15 minutes would be pretty suspicious.

[-]

Sometimes_good_ideas@reddit

I upvoted you buddy I was just taking the chance to let pedos know they aren’t welcome here. Cheers!

[-]

wootiown@reddit

Agreed, although we just elected one as president so that might make things difficult.

If it’s an iPhone, the person is notified when you attempt to log in. Just fyi

[-]

pohlcat01@reddit

Your phone notifies you every time you use it?

[-]

mightymitch1@reddit

No

[-]

[-]

aDoorMarkedPirate420@reddit

Why would you want to be anywhere near your abusive ex to pull this off?…

[-]

Jack0Trade@reddit

Factory reset

[-]

Kingkwon83@reddit

Then malware

[-]

Text their boss, "I quit"

Order a ton of shit using stored passwords and auto sign it

[-]

MalachiUnkConstant@reddit

Make a post on Facebook where they say the N word, then turn off all notifications for the post and hide it from their timeline

[-]

iKiai@reddit

If it's an iPhone, go to Settings > Name @ the top > iCloud > iCloud Backup > Select the backup at the bottom > Delete it. > Turn off iCloud Backup. || Then go to Settings > Face/Touch ID & Passcode > Change the passcode on them to something they can't guess. > Shut the iPhone off. This is mandatory, because it'll force the iPhone to use the passcode to unlock it the first time it comes back up. > They'll be forced to erase their iPhone and since you deleted any cloud backup, they will lose all their data. If it's an Android, do something similar if possible. Enjoy!

[-]

SteubenvilleBorn@reddit

Download something that illegal.

Change FB password, post on FB about how much they love little kids. Make it weird.

[-]

MutedLandscape4648@reddit

Forward texts and passwords to a private number/email.

[-]

ImOnlyCakeOnceAYear@reddit

You can do that??? How hard is that to do?

[-]

Sometimes_good_ideas@reddit

Step one you need to screenshot all their passwords from the settings app as well as chrome or safari and then email them or text them to yourself then delete the screenshots and delete from recently deleted then delete the text/email. Practice on your own phone to figure out how long that would take you. Disclaimer: only do this if you have permission/this is not legal advice

[-]

AbruptMango@reddit

Put a burner phone in the contacts somewhere, text it the screenshots.

[-]

Sometimes_good_ideas@reddit

You could also do the text forwarding thing to a burner number. That way it’s hard to trace back to you.

[-]

buuuckyyy@reddit

Or take photos of screen with passwords instead of screenshots, so it won't leave digital trace

[-]

AbruptMango@reddit

Too easy, needs more steps.

[-]

Sometimes_good_ideas@reddit

This is so obvious I’m ashamed I didn’t think of it

[-]

ImOnlyCakeOnceAYear@reddit

Oh you mean just taking stuff off, I thought you meant forward all incoming texts to your phone as well in secret somehow

[-]

Sometimes_good_ideas@reddit

From my limited knowledge I don’t think it’s possible to forward texts from an iPhone secretly. Apple hates spyware.

[-]

nugulon@reddit

Open the phone, Venmo a bunch of random people 20$ until Venmo stops working. Lots of people are scummy and won’t return the money they ‘erroneously received’. (Technically this is an illegal life pro tip)

Delete all the apps and photos, make sure to permanently delete them… usually a phone will store images for 30-60 days in a ‘deleted’ folder but you can open that folder and permanently delete them.

Change the most important contacts, don’t delete the contacts, just change the numbers a little so they are all wrong.

Download expensive apps with a free trial.

[-]

SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK@reddit

Download the evil jelly bean

[-]

coccopuffs606@reddit

Change all the passwords on their most frequently used apps, and then block the recovery email addresses

Delete their pictures, and then go into the trash folder and delete the trash folder. Make sure you delete them from the cloud as well.

Sign up their phone number for every spam site you can think of

[-]

Long_Category_6931@reddit

Type in the wrong passcode 10 times and brick the phone

[-]

Atomic_Fire@reddit

Send inflammatory emails/texts that could plausibly be from them to their landlord, boss, mom, etc...

E. G. Quit their job for them

Bank app?

Even 2 factor is gonna thumbprint and send a code to the phone.

Wire all the funds to you

[-]

such_Jules_much_wow@reddit

Check their spam folder (sms & email) and click on every scammy link you can find.

In case they have apps on their phones for insurance and subscriptions: cancel them all.

[-]

Simple-Challenge2572@reddit

Root it

[-]

HeartoRead@reddit

I'd probably factory reset it.

[-]

fakeassname101@reddit

Factory reset. They loose all their data if they haven’t backed up. Feign innocence.

[-]

Yaden2@reddit

set up parental control restricting internet usage, apps you can download, set screen time limits

this can all be undone fairly easily if they just have a backup of their phone somewhere tho, but it would still definitely cause a headache

[-]

Itsnotme74@reddit

Set screen time limits to the absolute minimum available for extra annoyance

[-]

Yaden2@reddit

oh yeah, you can set it as low as 1 minute on IOS, it’s incredible obnoxious (my parents used to use all these features against me lol)

[-]

Itsnotme74@reddit

I wonder if you could set them low enough so it’s impossible to unlock ?

[-]

A-Chntrd@reddit

And then set it to finnish or something.

[-]

TheGuyThatThisIs@reddit

At this point just add a hammer to the equation

[-]

Two words: Factory Reset

[-]

psillyhobby@reddit

Update the face unlock to include your own face. Then change his pin so that he’s locked out and only you can open it.

[-]

iamtrying_hard03@reddit

Then they will know who did it

[-]

CDawgbmmrgr2@reddit

Explain? Are you thinking Face ID stores a picture of your face?

[-]

KartveliaEU4@reddit

It doesn't? Does it just store a hashed version?

[-]

CDawgbmmrgr2@reddit

I don’t know what it actually does on the backend but I can’t imagine the phones owner would ever be able to see who used fade ID

[-]

KartveliaEU4@reddit

Ok I looked it up, and it seems to store the map it makes of datapoints, so the actual face isn't saved.

[-]

amy000206@reddit

When with the rest of the stuff go to the accessibility settings and turn a bunch on. Do this last though bc it will be really hard to use after
