Friend upset after I reported hacked account to the police

[ThisHappyBiscuit]

So my sons account got hacked by a friend of mines son who gave the details to someone to hack into. When this was all happening I said if my son's accounts password isn't given to me then im guna have to contact the police and my friend said "do it". So I did call when I didn't get the password. Ive gone upto my friend today and she's said do you really think you should be talking to me? I said why what's the matter? She said well we are under criminal investigation cause of you and we shouldn't be talking. I said well you told me to contact them and she said well it was to shut you up (in so many words) cause you were going off on one. Im really upset because I thought she was my friend and im just so lost now because I literally have no friends outside of my life. Can I just have some friendly words of encouragement because I'm just so lost and feeling so alone right now.

You keep saying he “gave the details”. What you mean is he gave the password, which your son had previously told him and had not changed after they fell out. There is no “hacking” if they just log into the account using the details voluntarily handed over. Tough lesson for your son but an important one.

It’s a crime to give a password you were voluntarily told to someone? What crime is that?

The crime is in misusing the password to access the account without the account holder's permission. Passing the password on for it to be misused in this way is being an accessory to the crime.
