Let this be a lesson in cybersecurity yall

https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-FAQ/

A-B07:
Knowledge-based authentication (KBA), sometimes referred to as “security questions”, is no longer recognized as an acceptable authenticator by SP 800-63. This was formerly permitted and referred to as a “pre-registered knowledge token” in SP 800-63-2 and earlier editions. The ease with which an attacker can discover the answers to many KBA questions, and relatively small number of possible choices for many of them, cause KBA to have an unacceptably high risk of successful use by an attacker.

A similar technique, knowledge-based verification (KBV), is permitted for use in resolving identities and, with restrictions, in remote identity verification during enrollment and proofing. See SP 800-63A section 5.3.2 for details.

Do not use security questions. If a site won't let you continue without answering one, answer it with a second randomized password and save both the question and answer in your password manager of choice.

Generally, I answer those questions in a different language than was asked.
But there are many more efficient ways to hack people than prying for security questions' answers i.e keylogging, social engineering, phishing, any type of malware, ransomware, hardware tempering, physical hacking, traffic "man-in-the-middle"/MITM, etc. etc.
They could even hack the backend server/database that holds everyone's credentials, and that is ideal, but not always possible and also poses higher risks of being caught; still, database leaks/hacks happen all the time.

Phew, author gave him some competence.

Hope that's not a death flag for Tabata, even if he is one of those assholish friends.

@Lithe it won't be, he knew it was an alias and he said he would remember his face. Tabata should be fine
