This is the story of Kevin Mitnick. Vilified by the media. Hunted by the authorities. Feared as one of the world's most dangerous hackers.
This video is largely based on the book “Ghost in the Wires” by Kevin Mitnick.

International Collaboration Proposal
Hello to the amazing team at Fern,
I have an interesting proposal! I would like to dub your content into Persian (Farsi) and publish it in the Persian-speaking community. MrBeast has previously done exactly this with someone named Pouria Vost, and it was highly successful.
This offers two significant benefits for you:
1. Your brand will be introduced to 20 million Iranians who are Persian YouTube users. Through the introductions in the videos and the description box, viewers who are fluent in English will be directed to your main channel.
2. With just a simple fair-use license granted to me, I will personally handle the dubbing and publish it on my Persian channel. I will share the revenue generated from my channel with you, effectively tapping into a market that likely would never have been your target audience otherwise.
Granting this permission would be mutually profitable and, I believe, a charitable act for the audience. Your channel is absolutely brilliant, and it would be a shame for Persian speakers to be deprived of it.
Regarding YouTube's AI dubbing system, I should clarify that Persian is not among the 26 languages currently supported for automatic dubbing, so this will not affect or interfere with your main channel in any way.
Finally, your documentaries are incredibly captivating and beautifully made. I look forward to your response and to the possibility of starting this collaboration with you.
With utmost respect and gratitude.

Dear Fern Team,
As a Viewer at first when I saw the First video of yours around 2020s time IDK why didn't I liked it, I was like I never wanna see the content again but when I saw your Hackers research around Kevin or Carbanak (cause I personally like Darker diaries A LOT). Then I saw so many documentaries inside of your channel I was hooked as F that you guys are now the DW news of our generation (cause when I was Little as an Indian Child on our side there's DD national channel goes where every Saturday/Sunday I always sees the DW news) that's the same feeling that I got from you guys. I have Two Requests one pls Expose the Indian System of all the things about what's happening Inside Today and the another one Gollomfum one as he was also a criminal but now he's life got transformed Massively that I can't imagine. Thank you so much as you were already inside the Game sooo deeply that I wanna Join the team Sooo much badly just to learn.
Yours Sincerely

Hi Fern, just a quick reminder — your new hacker video is getting way more views, way faster, than your recent uploads. It already beat "Why Putin Is So Hard to Kill" (11 days old), "How Israel Kills Journalists" (2 weeks old), and "How to Escape Auschwitz" (3 weeks old), and it's outpacing even "The Dark Web's New Deadliest Drug" (1 month old) — despite this one being only 5 days in. Your hacker content clearly hits different for you and for us viewers. Just look at your older hacker videos — same pattern every time. Might be worth leaning into that more!
