Changing my name to Test Example and hoping engineers see my data in prod and quietly delete all my credit card debt or something
@caranatar I'm always signing up places as None, nil, null, Nil, NULL
why not "Drop Table" ??
@lucifargundam @caranatar I just now realized my idea to legally change my name to John Doe is just the next level of this same gag.

Obviously fake names will appear obvious, but the trick we're discussing here is to fool the human element into believing the fake name to appear as a legitimate mistake.
Assuming such login info is stored in a SQL DB, it would seem more appropriate to snake in an attack using relative approach- rather than an aesthetic that only appears to be a mistake.
Furthermore (correct me if I'm wrong), if we're talking about a BIG DB, it's unlikely that the search queries will go through entry by entry- and we would have to assume their approaches to navigating and querying the DB accordingly.
Considering the DB admin is working for a good/store chain, it's unlikely they get paid well enough to care for diligence. So I'm going to assume at least _a little_ bit of leeway in terms of obviousness in approach.
One more note::: unless it's a sh## creditor/banker, I doubt DB mistakes would slip past unnoticed for long. Customer data is valuable to financial institutions to sell to 3rd parties. On top of that, your debt is their income. Something will not balance somewhere and someone's life will flip over pennies.
@lucifargundam @caranatar I don't want to appear as an attempt at malicious activity. I want devs to catch a log line and wonder what they missed?! Why is a null showing up here??
