Want to hack your way into someoneâs network? Just offer their BFF some free pizza.

98-percent of students gave away their friendsâ emails when promised free pizza, according to a recent study conducted by Massachusetts Institute of Technology.




74-percent of Americans have stated that itâs âvery importantâ to them that they be in control of who can obtain their information. But throw a stuffed crust in the equation, and people will start dropping information. (Thank god they didnât test social security numbers ã¼ that wouldâve been embarrassing)

The studyâs authors noted:

âWhereas people say they care about privacy, they are willing to relinquish private data quite easily when incentivized to do so.â

The results have clearly shown that people exaggerate how much they care about privacy, but pizza as an incentive? Actually I take that back ã¼ as long the pizza didnât have pineapples on it, I get it.

Youâre probably thinking, âThis is insane! Kids are out of control!â which is fair, but remember the time you gave up your email address to that random Chinese bootleg site to watch âCaptain Americaâ? Excellent movies count too.

Privacy is important, but pizza is a priority.
