I m not sure I understand properly. Did he try to hack a random service he encountered? Is that even legal? Where I live (Sweden) it's definitely not legal.

If only all hackers lived in jurisdictions which enforce anti-hacking laws. If I am making an app, I’m not going to rely on the police to enforce cybersecurity.
