like the chess piece with eight on each side. The one that can be promoted to any other non-king piece once it gets to the other side. pwned is getting your data leaked, being "pawned" means getting taken advantage of/being puppeted by a higher power, and I always linked that to being scammed through a phishing attack (and usually your data has been leaked, you have been pwned)

    Yup, I also think of chess when I read it, so pawned - turned into a pawn, demoted to the weakest piece, etc. If I read owned, then it's owned.
