Is this legal? - hacking

Question

A friend of mine has social media accounts he wants me to hack in and disable. He forgot the passwords and emails related to the accounts,thus the "forgot password" method does not work nor did sending an email to the corresponding companies who own the apps work either,. I know these are his accounts as I've seen him use them in the past. Considering the above ,Is it legal for me to hack into them?

Answer 1

I do think that it is ethically legal Considering that he wants you to hack into his account Making you a service provider and him a client I don't think that is legally OK but hey I am no one to recommend even I have hacked into many apps and websites but never got involved in something with money in summary "Do it at your own risk"

Answer 2

I think it's not very legal... you will have to break into a thirdparty systems right? This is not legal at all I guess...
