Gamer gets account hacked, gets petty payback on lame hacker: 'The kid was [...] begging me not to call his dad '

If there's one person you don't want to mess with, it's someone who is great at technology. Of course, most hackers do not know how competent their targets are, which is why this kid got his much-deserved comeuppance after his failed attempt at taking over this other guy's video game account.

This story is also a reminder to keep your technologically talented friends in your corner, as this guy did. He and his friend were big RuneScape people in the early 2000s, so much so that their successful accounts were worth more than $5K if they chose to sell them. That success is likely what attracted this naive teenager's attempt at hacking into the account. The gamer contacted his friend when he noticed something fishy, and it did not take long for his friend to figure out who the kid was and how to get the so-called "hacker" to leave his friend alone.
