Hello. I've recently been looking at the phenomenom of hacking passwords from someone.

I'm aware of the phishing method, but was wondering if it could be even simpler than that. If all you need is the password of this person, you could set up a forum somewhere where you are the administrator. It shouldn't be too difficult to anonymously or however, intrigue this person to go to this forum to read something important about them or someone else they know.
They will sign up and likely you will have their main password now.

I know you guys are the experts so I wanted your opinion and if you knew of any independent message ***rds that allow you to see the passwords and such.
