#snitch - actually: a 13 year old boy with some open source programs and a pocket full of USBs he got from 7/11 and a pair of working ears

[hey-hamlet]

Information warfare au: does snitch only work with heroes through nighteye? Does he develop other contacts within the hero industry (with or without nighteye’s help)? Does he ever get information sources that are (significantly) more illegal than ‘hacking a cheap security system’ or ‘overhearing some quiet guys in the bar’? Does he snitch have a source of income of his own?

He works primarily through Nighteye! He becomes almost an unofficial member of the agency. But, Nighteye does give him some direct lines of contact to a few other agencies he trusts and Izuku himself has his own line to the Underground Network that he uses from time to time.

Izuku's best hacking method is actually social engineering! Put on a press badge or carry a tray of coffees and most places will let you right in without asking any questions. He has a collection of USBs configured to download all local files and some others that will upload key loggers among other things. He also managed to get a few email addresses to just straight up forward every email they receive to him. He's crying at Endeavors lack of a specialized network security agent. Like, he's benefiting! But Christ man, it shouldn't be this easy!

He sometimes sells villains information about other villains, but he wont take money from heroes.
