It a man in the mirror because u mimc my styles lol cant help with that it hard i know lol it okay just be the best of me not the monsters lol 1:32
@SmilingProudWhat blows my mind most about this series, about this channel, is even with the issues of online bullying we were educated with, Grade 9 Students (15-16yr olds) were being given laptops by the Schools.
This was during that 2008-2014 era where that one mate had a hack that would break bluecoat and allow Counterstrike or San Andreas to run.
Seeing just how much was out there and hearing these stories about how many malicious codes or bad actors were around, like why the ** would you give a child the keys to the bloody kingdom.
They have no idea, none.
Like giving a toddler the football and asking them not to hit the big red button.
The 80s background music hits just right!
@chalupagrande8544dudes full of it ,,,,,,, so much he says isnt right....
@stevehunt-y7uwe cant tell you anything but trust me this video is good. Im out
@bumfightequilibrium was the goal of Shadowbroker.
@GnoceIpsumThis is all BS, no mysteries really. Kaspersky lab, as well as many other antivirus companies were writing viruses and network worms themselves in order to survive on the antivirus sw market. NSA forced Micro$oft (and other SW companies!) to deploy back-doors into Window$ OS, remember the leaked encryption keys via unstripped DLL? Yes, online computers could be easily hacked at the time and today back doors are still existing in commercial OSes. How and who was playing with stolen info and what hoaxes were created is another question. Today we are faced with another problem: instead of fighting corruption and criminals in cyberspace, these "cyber security organizations" in all major countries are working on filling the internet with fake AI-generated content, force social media platform to impose inhumane censorship and they are eradicating true information accumulated during the not so long digital age. It is against humanity and will lead to fall of our civilization as we know it. When you going to make a movie about this problem?
@jjc23764a hacktard named jack pouvette? i mowed that ree4t4rde ages ago.
@Jon-j6p8hvisuals are top-notch
@Whammy-s5fxyzwhere are the links to reasearch sourcess
@NoxAllanWas the script of this video made by a chatgpt? it sounds very off
@AtillaDornanIf they are so good why not just steal money instead of selling info?????
@PizzaChips-f6xIs it possible to create a virus that is just a file that will crash everything if you delete or even crash it
@PizzaChips-f6xIf you're in and part of the material universe your part of the game, big or small, that makes it up.
@ericswain4177Just another funeral for her, god damn
@BennetKühnelIts a great story of a great hacking ream getting hacked in a great way!
@rb-os4cmI love how people actually think the TAO found vulnerability in o.s. instead if the more likely o.s. being put out with the vulnerability so the government has access
@Josh-if5qh.
@hcilfidkWow, that was an amazing video up until the whole glossing over Snowden bit. Didn’t even try to give a one minute explanation. Thought you guys would be better than that.
@supersecretinternetaccountThis guy caused issues for so many people. 😅
@realhumanbeingyesyesveryrealI suggest you contact a professional at HIREGEEKHACKERS for any issues
@HankGeek😂&^*😂
@DeliveryThinkerWhatever we hear in the mainstream was allowed for us to be told. Ed Snowden is no different. It's a big theatre test to see how masses react. They don't promote or let us know about anything real. At least, they don't promote it.
@iXCORPIts too bad they didnt go after swift and bring it to its knees.
@mattozx6rrIts too bad they didnt go after swift and bring it to its knees.
@mattozx6rrJake Williams walks away scott-free only because he worked with a government organisation that used exploits and skills were used to make these tools. "It was definitely Russia" my dude you are in the same boat.
@OpinionValidThis sounds like an Israeli backed OP meant to undermine US capabilities. It is doubtful Russia would've given this tools in any way
@rodrigomanzo777Now my new goal is to work for the USA's hackers 😂 time to go ethical... 🫡
@JshadesImagine claiming he cant say this or that etc ... Dumbest crap ive heard all week ...
@lillerosin2915Well executed documentary.
It's a surprise there hasn't been a class action lawsuit launched against the US Govt for anyone who lost data or money as a result of the 0day exploit in EternalBlue not being disclosed to Microsoft, but instead weaponised.
Now I want to replay the Mass Effect trilogy again :D
@HELLios65:03 "Then 911 struck..."
Come on we are not boomers and this is 2026. Stop saying "911 struck.." lmao
