There is an completely anonymous deep web hacker, Who singlehandedly took down 52% of the child porn on the Internet.
The time this occurred is completely unknown, But many had noticed certain porn websites completely gone from the entire internet.
The hero we didn't know, but needed.
it sounds like a group of people under the guise of an individual
Who are "many"? What pedophile is going to say "hey my favorite sight is down!" and tell someone about it? There have been some big arrests lately. One even caught 338 people. Law enforcement is most likely the deep web hacker you speak of.
Anywhere I can read on this?
How do you know this? What websites are you on?
@@malachipg7576 It's more likely someone wrote a complex algorithm to find these sites based on keywords instead of a group of people systematically going through all these websites and attacking them individually
this channel sure is underrated
Thank you Cindy pom.
Isn‘t „North Korea‘s entire internet“ just Kim‘s iPhone?
You should make a video about Jared Isaacman
This person is extremely talented. Don't need to move at all to hack an entire country. The power of computers people. Use it to your advantage.
While you wrote this you too didn't even know the real power. Ask a guy who cleared CeH and currently practicing suits
@@halfstackpgrhalfstackpgr4925 this wasn't to offend anyone. I was just pointing it out so relax.
Edit: what are suits?
@@daniiielw my comment was not for bashing you. It was a stuff that showed some greater info 😌😂
@@daniiielw suit ? They are the multi tasking tools which helps us to find a bug or to automate stuffs for longer run processes like searching through all the columns of db
@@halfstackpgrhalfstackpgr4925 what language do you use to do this? Sounds cool
Please America, leave him alone. It’s a pretty good chance he’s American. Please don’t prosecute him if you catch him…don’t even try to catch him, he’s a hero.
No, even better they will make a movie about him.
He's a criminal
@@anwartahernuman7675 to who? The elite 1034 people who are allowed to use the internet in NK?
I agree: whoever P4x is, we need him to give North Korea a strong message that we here in America WILL NOT tolerate their hacking into us! It's time those NK motherfuckers got a taste of their own medicine, & I hope that P4x hurts these pricks further! Perhaps he'll even show 2014's 'The Interview' all over North Korea's giant screens to REALLY give them the middle finger!
Nah they probably will hire him, minds like that are way more useful working for the goverment than rotting in jail
1 American vs. 26 million North Koreans.... FIGHTO!!!!!
Correction : he took down North Korea's Food website with DDoS, and hacking community didn't liked his way of responding simply because North Korean Hackers are no joke, they stole ~400M USD worth of Bitcoins last year 🙂
It's 1 Vs 7000. The rest don't have internet access.
@@Pleusch thank you!!!!
Most Barley or don't have food
@Joscha Wexler russian kid with a random intel chipset and a monitor: oh it's my regular jawb 🥸
Brag now enjoy your win because North Korea strike nation cry for days in fact stayed tuned
Interesting story.. wow I would never have thought North Korea was breeding so many hackers..
Congrats on such great success, Cindy. You deserve it.
Is that an average of 20K new Subscribers each month? I've been Subbed from the start.
Cindy has such a perfect voice.

Thanks
@@manishkumarpandey9702 yup.
@@manishkumarpandey9702 the hackers were actually chinese
I always find blackmail to be pretty interesting. For example, North Korea threatened Sony if it released the movie, "The Interview."
Well, that sort of thing only tells people what North Korea really doesn't want.
So, that can be used against them.
Sony should have then threatened North Korea with release if it didn't get something from North Korea.
now thats a business transaction
I agree with you ...there are times I think people are too kind ,or bound up in red tape and legalities.....I am glad this guy seems to be operating ethically and hope others do too ...
@@chronological3957 if i was in charge of an american company id do it
Newsthink:One american brought down N. Korea's Whole Internet
Me: N. Korea has internet?
Yes. The upper class and Kim and his people. However it only has 28 websites that are highly monitored and controlled by their government
@@BanishedSouls they got a knockoff Linux. Control freaks LOVE Linux lol
That guy is literally a Revolution for humanity!
I got a special bonus out of this great video. I found the movie "The Interview" and REALLY enjoyed it for first time.
Also, I met Randall Park in the Toronto subway but I didn't know who was until soon after. He seemed really nice!
Tell P4x I'm interested in funk and I can print "hello world" in 3 different languages.😀
Lol..

This situation was the cybernetic version of "don't mess with the quiet guy that doesn't harm you, he can humilliate you"
P4x should be given a new job through USA national security

russians and other hackers are no jokes but US hackers weak lol
The fact you think the United States has nothing is so
Ignorant 🤦🏽♂️
@@t.t.m3042 the usa is already in every foreign military system why bother hacking when we are already in there
@@cent-ns1lm ew murican
@@t.t.m3042 you have no clue what your talking about
The story was badly presented in the first part of the video with some misinformation, most likelly due to insufficient knowledge in IT.
The part about how Pax got hacked missed a few key elements like how they got a security researcher(they are not idiots and wont get hacked easilly) to open and run a program containing a virus misrepresenting him as someone careless and look like an idiot for doing so.
Pax didint shut down north koreas internet. Those who had access to outside internet still had it and could visit websites like usual. What he did was he temporarily shut down north koreas state run websites that north korea willingly displays to the outside world so people can view them through world wide web. This however had no effect on the intranet(intranet is very similar to internet, but different. Internet connects the whole world and anyone can basicly access it(simplified ), but intranet is internet that exists only for devices that are connected to each other in some way that acts like internet but is not connected to the widely used world wide web.) people who are connected to north koreas intranet(north koreas version of internet that only has websites that north korea approves of), mostly north koreans, were not affected in any way whatsoever.
I am not an IT or security expert so i could have explained some parts incorrectly or slightly inaccurately. But i thought i had to point these points out because the video in the first part was quite misleading to the general audience who do not understand IT and internet in depth.
This is very important. It should also be noted that the outside Internet of NK only contains about 20 websites. Launching a DDoS attack is also not very sophisticated and services like that can be bought on the dark web. I don't want to discredit Pax, but facts like this should be noted. It is not comparable to something like Stuxnet (The Iranian nuclear reactor hack)
This hacker is a true hero!!
I know
it pains me that you said "Watching the film aliens" but show Alien :P
Is there a deference?
@@mr.boomguy It's a minor error on her part, but yes, there is a difference. The clip she showed was from the movie 'Alien' (no 's'). Aliens was the sequel to that movie.
Let's all agree that these are the most entertaining videos.
You copy cat
I can't agree with someone whose name is both "c" and "I have exactly 102.999 subscribers"
Let's all agree that you're a bot that's farming subscribers from small children and people who misclicked only to later sell said channel to some lazy person who wants a big headstart in the TH-cam sphere.
trump be like:
he true american
Wow! Your videos are really amazing! You channel deserves a million subs tbh. Keep it up!
By the way, can you do Henry Moseley next? I think your video will spread awareness on his contribution on the periodic table of elements. And at the same time, all his accomplishments in a span of only 27years. His story is interesting too! Thanks a lot!
1:00 This makes literally 0 sense. First of all how would they even get his Twitter, second of all why would this hacker fall for a phishing link
Yeah it's innacurate because it wasn't just a twitter account. They created a WHOLE fake website posing as security investigators, with fake reviews and comments: Everything seemed legit. Then they would ask to work together and send a program for investigation, that also included a hidden malware with the purpose of >stealing information on vulnerabilities, to use as weapons themselves< .
P4x and most security investigators use virtual machines with a lot of security measures, so they were safe from that tricky backdoor. However it seems like there was another hidden malware on the blog because some users were hacked JUST by reading the blog (not downloading anything).
It used a Windows 10/Chrome vulnerability that was very advanced (worked on latest patch) , with complex social engineering and lot of effort put into the phishing page to make it look real. This is why it's almost certain to be a state sponsored attack (North Korea or even China disguising it's IP), because it's a new vulnerability never seen before paired with top notch obfuscation methods used in order to clean it's tracks after the attack is done: A good hacker can create a deadly virus, but only a group of the best hackers can make it untraceable.
They are spreading misinformation
This is awesome, I wish I could help fund these guys. Do they have a Patreon? 😂
1 million subscribers coming faster than what you think 👍
Exponential growth? Cindy is in my city and I'm so proud!
The only internet in North Korea is the government one which only does propaganda. It's not like our internet at all. That said, I still applaud the hacker.
Thank you Cindy and congratulations on your continuing success.
Very informative, polished and entertaining videos. You also have an excellent speaking voice. Glad your channel came up in my recommended feed
😂😂😂 sorry but they are neither informative or polished, trust me, most stuff in this video is false

TH-cam is funny that way. Its common
Good giving them a taste of their own medicine for once.
I don't question battleminds, that's why I favor a cabin in the woods with a pet duck, away, from the rest of many lunatics who are supposed to be in stasis of Harmony.
What, there's internet available in north korea.
I hope he hacks digital forensics and gives them all their money back..to clients theyve ripped off over the years..thousands back to each client they've had!!
Hey I really love your channel but it kind of throws me off when your face comes up suddenly during the animations.. Not being toxic, I love you Cindy you're too good
He pulled the plug on Kim Jong-un laptop during a U.N meeting
Looks like P4x is getting a recruitment letter from the US Government in his/her mailbox. That is some skillful talent right there.
OK? ANYONE SHOW ME HOW TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE? I HAVE A FAMILY WITH SPECIAL NEEDS...PLZ SOMEONE...SHOW ME HOW TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE...GOD BLESS
“He’s known as Schnozzwitz Goldbergstein”
its not their entire internet. only a part of it
thank you this channel is growing so fast well done Mam!
Wow this guy is a an expert at hacking xd
This is hands down the best news channel on TH-cam :thumbsup:
True, but sometimes trolls pop in here and call her an Elon Fanatic. Cindy is a professional and can handle any worthy subject matter, with ease and with very little help.
She is like the next Joe Scott before he knew he really needed help to keep it up.. By the way, it's not just news she covers. She does History, Biography, Science and more. Cindy has become like the perfect TH-camr. She does all her own technical work and I love seeing her on cam. A very respectable person for sure!
Also, her videos are binge able and never dated.
Not true
Your channel is great!

Not very impressive. There is literally one router in the entire country.
This going (I meant guy) is pop culture itself
Thara bhai p4x north korea hila dunga unka weapon system pad dunga
(Means your bro p4x will shake north korea and their wepon system)
P4x, although truly unknown, definitely provided proof to show he did pull this off. The hacker community is the best.
NSA, you're welcome.
You should make a video about Jared Isaacman
Wish I knew how to hack cause I sure the hell would love to help
I wish hackers would do the right thing and delete peoples loans and mortgages
Too much mr robot 😂
Anonymous could use a guy like him
Frankly your channel deserves millions of subs. Content are so accurate and facts figuring knowledge. 😀
"accurate" bro are you serious
$400 millions is a small money if we compare it with South Korean economy. Why doesn't North Korea start to switch to capitalism to earn billions of dollars just like South Korea?
Continue....! This is really interesting.
I just came here to read the Bernie's side argument... n bou that's amazing..🤣😂🤣😂keep up commode 🖕
Shocked to even hear, North Korea has internet 💀
Wow, love this different kind of video 😀
Another great video.
I am really annoyed that video shows scene from Alien movie while claiming that he was watching Aliens - so which is it, WHICH ONE IS IT?
North Korea never had the internet. They use an intranet that is completely controlled by their government. Always have.
Kim Jong Un can use the internet.
@@jag92949 and whats the point of your reply?
@@anonuser260 Regular civilians can’t use the internet, but the DPRK government can.
No. I did it and kept the secret. Welcome.
Literally nothing new or groundbreaking. It's been done a few times before and the effects were always temporary but nobody has ever managed a successful hacking of their intranet where all the important stuff is and it's unlikely they ever will.
Who's too lazy to listen to the full video, just want to know wasn't this a terrorist attack and what will be said about North Korea if they retaliate..?
Can this guy get a few things off the British government for me? Like, the sex offender list, List 99 etc.
I doubt they could get past chromes sandboxing, its like tryna get past a wall that only lets keyboard and mouse through
"spicy corn snacks", Nothing more American than ancient Mexican food.
North korea doesn't even afford to have a computer: faild successfully
joke appart you lose your time he lose is time they only have 6 fake national website xD loll false information
North korea sucks you can't hurt him but this guy is a master mind If I found this guy I wanna kiss him
SOON CHINA AND RUSSIA WILL END THE PROBLEM, america
what a legend
oh wait he did a great job from stopping nk hackers i was wrong about him
Makes your thumbnail look like a fuckin joke when you know its just a silly lie
Are they talking public net or the military net? Big difference!
This guy should be a great piece for North Korea freedom.....
freedom from what?
@@nikolaicccp3972 North Korea regime....
@@moreno8423 whats so bad about the Kim Dynasty? most americans and south koreans believe north korea is the most evil country in the world but lack any evidence of human rights abuses other than defector testimony, and in the case of the defectors, they get paid millions per speech they give and get paid even more money the more ridiculous the speech is like one of the most famous defectors said they had to push trains to their destinations in the north korea lol, plus the defectors routinely change their stories to fit narratives and make more money, and most people who defected, did so because of hunger and majority defected to china and some got sold into trafficking and some were told they could make more money in soufh korea but once they got to south korea, they got trapped in south korea, i highly recommend you watch a short documentary on TH-cam made by a south korean interviewing defectors and officials in south korea, its titled "Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang in Seoul". Its a very eye opening documentary with real defector interviews that talk about these topics and the fact that south korean NIS still turn defectors into spies, and people in South Korea can get arrested for freedom of speech.
Yeah? ddosing GiveS FReDom to Norrg koRea 😂 and anyone can do it. It's not impressive and there were only some hosts in north korea.
Stop spreading misinformation, jesus christ
NKs INTERnet was just fine. It's EXTRAnet, part of the worldwide INTERnet, was not. Misleading title.
You've earned a new sub madam
He only blocked 28 public website check your facks
He was hacking North Korea while being a couch potato this is too 🤣
😂 😂 stop ✋ 🛑 lying 🤥 about North Korea 🇰🇵 they don’t even USE internet. America heck few who have access the leader because missile rocket 🚀 practice
Damn Bangladesh got saved by Jupiter
Millions respect to that guy....
i wanna be wanted by the govt for my hacking skills
This is the first time i am cheering on a hacker
Same i cheered for a hacker 2 times 1 is anonymous targeting russian websites and news and another one is this one
I believe NK primary connection to internet is through 1 ISP/hub in northern China, so if you hit that it will severely impact entire country offline. As of 2017 they now have route through Russia
He should’ve hacked the nuclear missile guidance system and turned it back to Pyongyang. It’ll be hilarious to see their reaction 🤪🤪
he's not american! his channel th-cam.com/users/cysecor
imposible, north korea don't have internet XD
How about splitstream
He hacked north Korea too
he thinks he has a bigger mind by messing with the north korea
Wipe out their all mighty bank accounts
Reality: there were only some hosts in north korea and this man did was ddosing, this is not fully impressive. I'm not sure if he defaced north korean websites but, if he did, it was definitely some easy vulnerabilities such as sql injection.
Wait, deface with sql injection?
1st of all....
who tf uses internet in north korea
And if they use internet just how limited is it or even how ancient
Slip stream already came, saw and conquered,
