For a long time on social media I used "1c75a" as a handle or account name. As a hacker, that series of characters looks like hexadecimal, maybe some secret that unlocked part of system or a magic number for a file. Nope. Real reason was much more banal and more astonishing than any successful hack of a computer. Learn why I used that odd string, and why I'm leaving it behind.
