I swear this is Zac now
P.s. Tony’s laugh is incredible
i believe you 😉
nahhhhhhh
ok
Thank you
Hahahahah this is to funny😂
I think we can all agree that the craziest thing about this video is that it wasn't sponsored by a VPN
Was waiting for it the entire video
it wouldn't have helped much anyway
A VPN would probably know their product couldn't help against any of this. VPNs offer a vague promise of "security" but only pretects against some very specific things.
That fruit-scented water bottle would probably do more to stop those two than Nord VPN and surfshark combined!
I'd either think: the VPN is useless as they still managed to gather all that or I'd think he's advertising something he doesn't even use himself.
Well it does make few things harder, for instance, after hacking the wifi, with vpn, there is still one more layer to hack. But for dedicated hacker it's nothing.
Zac never agreed to make this video in the first place. The whole channel is just a deepfake made by Tony now
Ayooo it's cz. Awesome
loll
Never thought I’d see him here

You should hire a hacker to protect your identity while another hackers tries to ruin your life
Yesss
That would be really cool
yes!!!
that would b hilarious
omfg yessssss
Congrats on the new home! But for real… This was edited like a movie and still felt incredibly real & believable. Amazing video.

Definitely need a part 2 of this, showing the aftermath (hopefully you selling the house...) and Tony/Solomon's tips. on how to protect ourselves. It all ends so abruptly otherwise!
Agreed. I am curious how they went back on everything they'd lined up, including the loan, bitcoin and property purchase, without actually getting Zac in trouble.
Part 2 will be in 10 years when Zac gets raided by Interpol/FBI for running a multi billion dollar criminal empire he actually never heard of.
His videos always end way too abruptly, it's like his thing lol
m.th-cam.com/video/uZdv-TtiMkg/w-d-xo.html
Coming back to this comment to beg for a part 2
This was absolutely crazy to watch. To think, these two could've done SO MUCH worse if they really wanted to. Very entertaining to watch, but man, I don't think Zac knew what he got himself into! He looked so freaked out by the end and rightfully so. This video will definitely stick with me for a while.
This is actually the dumbest thing I have ever seen someone do on TH-cam.
Its like for every normal person that the Internet only exist 1year ago wtf a Profi hacker can easily kill you or get you forever in jail and worse things
They couldve gone sooo much further! fake his income, put a adress in another nation and ask for a 1 million loan from the bank!
Facts
Anyone could do alot ofthese things when someone willingly gives you their NIN and driver's license numbers lol.. he basically knew what he was doing
The scariest thing is, they went easy on you.
100% correct. This could have been so much worse.
Might be simple, but just informing him about them buying a house and transfering stuff.
Also there is the whole adress + family = blackmail situation D:
Realy scary stuff
Right. They didn’t want to actually ruin his life. They weren’t malicious, they were just showing him how easy it would be if they actually wanted to.
They could have truly ruined his life through and through if they wanted.
@@CidTheNadieye they don’t need a month to do that, any decent hacker only needs a couple days to get all the information and blackmail material needed. it’s scary very scary
i love how this video shows a possible scenario of a hacker but on the other site hacking is more like sitting in front of the computer and looking at a terminal
I was a real victim of an attack in 2019, lost all my hard-saved money, my job and ended up in bad feeling, my life suddenly in shambles and also having suicidal thoughts. The worst thing of all is when you actually know better, but lost everything from now on equal. I was in poor health and that was the moment when all my knowledge didn't help me. Even though this video is more for entertainment, I just want to let other people know that it can affect anyone. Nothing is really safe, think carefully about how you handle your data.
Where shadows are, there are light too. I'm now saving my training as a full-stack dev, so that I can be better armed in the future. Keep up your good work!
I'm going into frontend development :-) I'm using web security as my gateway into backend development. Good luck on your projects
Can you tell me how it happened and what they do?
@@chester8459 The attackers had access to valid data that should actually only be known to authorities. I was not in good health and since the confidential information was actually only known to the authorities, I had no suspicions in this situation. Looking back and with today's knowledge, it was a very perfidious and well-thought-out scam. In my case, many things played a role: my condition, credibility through confidential data, social engineering, the pressure built up and the triggering of anxiety.
The pressure got worse and worse, especially after I lost my job. The fact that I lost a lot of money as well as personal information was one thing. Another, and worse for me, was how my health continued to deteriorate. When you lose everything, absolutely everything, that you have worked very hard for over the years within a few days or weeks, it really knocks the ground out from under you. I am grateful and happy that I have recovered.
In Cybersecurity, the most basic tips I can give to people is use different passwords for every site, use throwaway emails for sites that aren't credible cause a lot of sites have shit security. all it takes is for one breach for the bad actor to get access to all your info and also use virtual credit cards as well as finally a TOTP
@@HDproductionnal dont matter if u gt nowt to steal!
The worst thing Tony has ever done was shake up his drinks, that's just diabolical
I would like to see a version where there's no physical attack, like if the hacker was in a different country. It would really force them to strategize instead of just going straight into your house
Next Video Idea: "I hired a professial murder to find out how fast he can kill me" 💀💀💀
😂😂😂😂
To show how dangerous murderers are
😅😂😂😂
Mr. Beast did that video already
@@nmkflvpttt. So what's the use of the gloves, mask or blur feature, did you even think? But a TH-camr might not really dare to hire a murderer, because it would be too dangerous for his life. Unless it was planned or faked.
So, if I'm a professional murderer. I will just take all that youtuber's assets and their "life" without making a video. Or I uploaded a video, I will use gloves so it doesn't leave fingerprints & a mask, plus I threaten to blur it out or I edit the video by myself and delete the original video, but I still wear a mask when im being recorded because video data that has been deleted can still be restored. WARNING: THIS COMMENT DOES NOT MEAN I AM A MURDERER 😅
I've been hacked myself. Had two loans taken out in my name for £30k in total over a year ago and still not been refunded. Police have been of no help etc, got loan companies chasing me for payments I can't make. Court threats etc etc. Not the in the best headspace
So thank you for creating awareness so that people don't become victim like I have
So sorry to hear that, the effects are really awful. It took months to get the money back and that was bad enough. My thoughts go out to you, hope you can get it sorted.
@@ZacAlsophow do we protect ourselves from this though? Video should’ve touched on this
@@ZacAlsop Nice one Zac! Hoping mine gets sorted out soon but will most likely have to declare myself bankrupt...! "It is what it is" though. Hope your video helps others show how easy it is for something like this to happen and they're more precautious!
they went super soft on him for saying with that info they could done much worse, but hopefully this spread awareness of what "actual hackers" can do if people are targeted.
He had an insane amount of faith in them with the belief they wouldn’t do anything downright devious

Thank you for raising awareness about this. So many small businesses are extremely vulnerable and are victims to cyber crime every single day.
True
Zac gets hacked and immediately whips out a camera. What a lad
Cameraman Scott has cameraman reflexes
@@ZacAlsop Past work experiences: ninja
You really put yourself completely out there for this one man. Took huge stones. You definitely earned it!
For those who don't undestand how he made all his office devices connect to his rogue network, he created a clone network with the same name has zac's office, then he sent a deauth atack on zac's network, making all of the devices connected to the wifi to disconect, due to this attack, his wifi can be unavailable for a few seconds, so all of his devices connect automatically to the new clone network.
I used to work for a big rental company, we had the same thing happen but they then used that network to open the safe and stole all the keys to the cars (plus some other stuff that had international ramifications). Didn’t take the cars, sent a ransom email saying if we don’t get x by x then we will do this to every location in the U.K. and you’ll be out of business. The company paid and the keys were still on site buried off the side of the car park. Crazy stuff. We had to sign NDAs to not talk about it but seeing as I haven’t worked for them for like 9 years and I’m not saying which rental company and it’s highly unlikely they’ll see this, oh well. Mad thing is they would have actually been bankrupt in the U.K. as it was just before summer and getting all the spare keys would have one cost them millions in lost revenue and two wouldn’t have guaranteed nothing else would happen. We were never told what else they did but they did have all of our information as employees, and also we were never told if they were caught or not. They didn’t even tell us they paid but we figured they did as how would they know where the keys were…
Would that even work though? The devices likely wouldn't connect to it as it's not using the same security settings, even if it has the same ssid...
@@Drift-yf4rn Just copy the setttings. Seeing the information about a network is easier than hacking into it. Since he could do the latter, it would take nothing to create an exact clone.
@@Drift-yf4rn If you do it right, it clones the target network with all its settings, tested with a raspberry pi 3b+ and an old android phone using kali nethunter as the OS
I use to work for a bank remotely from home and the laptops they use to give us to work from home they would not allow us to connect to my home Wifi to work they would supply you with ridiculously long Ethernet cables otherwise it wouldn’t let you connect to the bank site network you could do everything else fine like browse the internet I always wondered why they made us do that crap now it makes so much sense
Wow that's terrifying. I want to see a part 2 showing the aftermath
It is, but that's the importance of limiting your digital footprint. Otherwise you'll make it too easy for people to learn way too much about ya.
Amazing. Would have been great to receive some security advices from the hackers
There's tons online you can find
@@marianna3253 this guys make a all new level
Agreed I thought that was the one thing missing from the video.
@@Tibialstone7 Want good security for your (future) company? Here are some tips:
- Alarm in your building connected to the police.
- Camera's with motion detector so you get notifications when someone is around
- PiHole, blocks all unwilling domains like tiktok and ads which can be dangerous
- Enroll a zero trust policy (identify with cards, fingerprint or anyform of 2step verification on login in.
- delete cookies everytime you shut down the browser
- No passwords safes (Your mind is the vault)
- Check the router every hour for unknown devices and put on whitelists so you only have certain IP's open in your network which are known devices
- Don't write ANYTHING on paper.
- Have a shredder for receides or other stuff where is information on and burn everything that is left on BBQ friday.
- Have a company that is picking up your garbage every week (secure paper which have enforced cars/vans)
- Don't save anything on the computer as in contracts of employees or ID's/driver licenses. Print them out once received on the computer, put the copies in a locker under your bed and flash the harddrive of the computer which received it with a big magnet.
- Don't own any account on socialmedia, just make an account, place your vacation on it for people to see, remove it after 2 days when you had your attention.
Unfortunately there is not much you can do as an everyday average Joe. All the best practices like having multiple secure passwords, minimizing exposure of personal data on social media or even shredding bank statements/ other letters with personal info become useless if they go as far as to break in your home or spoof your WiFi connection lol. You'll have to sacrifice every bit of convenience you are currently enjoying or be some serious security nut job that knows his stuff. Especially if your a public persona that deep fake stuff is scary.
You’re timing is remarkable!! Are you not secretly behind the MGM Hack😂

So nice of Tony and Solomon to post this and own up to their misdeeds, if only Zac could see this. (too bad the whole "we hired an assassin on zac" part of the video got cut because of what happened)
i'm not going to lie, this video had me hooked. it's crazy how all this can happen, and actual hats off to solomon and tony for showing not just how scary hackers can be in the long-term, but for the fact this is real life and can all be done behind your back. i'd love to see more vids like this ts was fire

No that’s sam
Nah now he knows how someone could do it and can always stay safe
@@Jayess-c there's many ways
Kinky
@Jayess-c you cant stay safe theres always a way
Who would've thought that hacking someone would be as easy as breaking into their physical office and stealing all their shit.
Hacking is a lot more than movie magic lets us think! 🙂
That’s what most of hacking is; social engineering and petty theft that allow you to steal items that provide you with the info you need to steal somebody’s identity.
The people you get phone calls from pretending to be big companies and the people who gain access to your accounts are usually just people who’ve found your details by chance in a data leak.

That's why pen testing is a thing specifically for things like this. Once someone is into a secure building acting like they belong, they can do basically whatever they want. That's why folks actually hire people specifically to hack them *physically* that to see how they can make buildings and such more secure. In an ever more digital age, you'd best hope that folks are being ever more physically secure - and the scary part is: they aren't
It's called red-teaming! Red teaming is the offensive side (both online and in person) that tests the security of something. It's really important, almost the same way you would crash test a car before putting it on the market
my Grandpa was in the military service here in italy when WWII happen, as a child i've always saw him shred to pieces every piece of paper going to the bin, when my naive 4yo question "why you do it grandpa?" he looked me straight into the eyes with a look i've never seen into his blue\gray eyes and with an almost baritone voice shouted "you don't know who's out there, cut everything as small as you can!"... i'm doing it since then
Quick tip: never shred your documents papers since there's people out there who can recover them like puzzles instead just burn them to ashes and than bury those ashes with sand or anything than throw them away.
Yeah thats what i been doing, burning every piece of paper and then bury them in the garden 😂 @@JustFireYT
00:01 - Nothing. I don't have any money. They have nothing to steal from me.
Except a loan in your name, watch the rest of the video
For me personally, I would've absolutely loved to see a way to protect myself as well. Cause currently this video has just made me absolutely scared as shit
Yeah, it’s a hard one to deal with, icl. Like, can i even protect myself against the ‘evil wifi machine’? 😭
@@crains1429 "evil wifi machine" LMAO THAT'S WHAT IM SAYING HAHA
@@crains1429well, you can protect yourself against everything. Specifically against the "evil WiFi machine" would actually work a VPN. Of course, nothing is 100% secure and all that, but having all the WiFi data encrypted would have really complicated Solomon's life
Unfortunately you really cannot protect yourself fully if a team of genius criminals decide to target you. Unless you lived a 100% paranoid life with better security than most government agencies. Luckily odds are youre not worth a team of genius hackers’ time and if you are victim to something like this you will eventually get your money back. best to just install cctv, keep everything locked, and shred important info before you throw it out
@@crains1429here's a very good technical video on the wifi pineapple, best way to protect yourself is to learn about how the attacks work

I can honestly say this was one of the craziest videos I've watched. It's pretty terrifying how easily those guys can ruin someone. I'm just happy to know their the good guys now haha. So scary what people can do nowadays.
Well this is scripted and done by professionals. Most "hackers" don't target individuals to this extent instead targeting crucial data to get credit cards and the like. You figure these guys went out of the way to get and change the mail where a normal crook will just dress like a mailman or put on a mask and steal your mail directly.
Solomon literally came into my school and was like legal hacking is fun😂. He's great.
Glad I left a good impression :)

We really need a part two on how to best avoid this
#1 Don't challenge hackers to hack you
#2-∞ Everything else
Simple,
1- Don't chuck important information in the bin.
2- Make sure your home is secure and hard to break in.
3- Don't give personal details online such as social media.
4- Always Update account details at least once a month.
5- Make sure internet router is strongly secured.
This won't fully protect you but it should be some what enough.
With enough time (which translates to money as well) pretty much everyone can get hacked. The only thing you can properly do is what Surge suggested above. Also make use of 2FA wherever you can, use a (local and private) password vault/manager and always install security updates.Try to adopt the phrase: "never trust, always verify" into your daily routine.
This was mostly breaking and entering and one of these guys wasn't a hacker. The closest thing done to hacking was DNS spoofing with a WiFi Pineapple but that only would have worked if Zac ignored security warnings from his browser.
@@ElliotGuy-tp4siuhmm no.... IF he used a secure dns not the default isp dns THEN the fake website fail. Otherwise, the pc/phone just use the fake dns server
to combat this :
-Never throw away papers with sensitive info, destroy everything
,-Use a complicated wifi password random generated of minimum 15 characters, same for the router
-Don't use smart devices like bulbs, baby monitors etc.
-use an offline password manager with no internet access.
-use random generated passwords of minimum 20 characters for all online accounts. (never use same pass for more than 1 account)
-always destroy hard drive or ssd if replacing an older one.
-always check the website certificate before entering sensitive info.
-don't use wireless mouses or keyboards, the receiver accepts any incoming data
-Always use your cables, never accept random cables from someone, they could have a keylogger
-don't connect to unsecured wifi hotspots
-don't plug in random usb's if found
-keep your laptop with you at all times, windows password is useless (unless you have bit locker active)
-never speak of sensitive info out loud even if you're at home (tv's phone and smart devices have microphones)
hope this helps.

amazing Zac for putting your self in the hands of these two and showing the world what could happen. Tony and mr robot done very well!! well done both of you for highlighting all this ! you on the right light good side!
Congratulations on the house Zac!!
Love how you're willing to put yourself on the line to put out genuine & crazy content 🙌
This was honestly, no lie, one of the most interesting, informative, entertaining videos I've ever seen on the platform.
Seriously man. Great job Zac 👏
Oh wow that's crazy- and scary-
They could have deleted your youtube channel and actually ruin your business but obviously they won't do that.
That's why you have to be careful what you put out in the world.
I'm glad that I watched this cause I learned how dangerous this is.
Stay safe all!
As someone who is freinds with a big time hacker, I assure you what they did to you can be considered mercy. They could've made you homeless by day 7 if they wanted to.
Great vid!!! although i would have loved to see how you would go about cleaning up the mess Solomon and Toby made. And how exactly we can protect ourselves from something like this
Now imagine this is all one big setup by the hackers
I mean shirley it's not that easy

@@ZacAlsop exactly what I would expect Tony and Solomon- I mean the Zachs.
The scariest part of this video was Zac eating the ice cream in the rain
this shit is actually terrifying...imma live in the woods with no electricity from now on
If someone really wants to find you, they can. Telling people you're going to live in the woods is more identifying than you think.
Edit: For example, I know your full name, birth date, location, etc. I have no malicious intent so I wouldn't panic, but it only took me a few hours to pinpoint things and that's without doing a deep dive. So if you ran off into the woods I need only look around where you live. A thermal drone would make the job much easier. Take care and be safer online, friend.

Great! Now make a video about how to stop this stuff from happening. When this vid ended I was kinda caught by surprise... thought for sure you were going to do some kind of follow-up or some explanation of ways to protect ourselves (aside from common sense stuff we all know like not throwing away unshredded important documents and not leaving credit cards and login information strewn around the office...)
Loved the video, I was just hoping for something more substantial than strictly entertainment. Thanks regardless!

✅VPN
✅Paper shredder

Im so glad I told my grandma back in the day to let me handle throwing out some papers for her. I knew people can rummage your trash to steal your identity. So every time she did throw stuff. I'd cut out her name and card information so this wouldnt happen. I know we're essentially nobodies. But you never know. So I'd cut out the personal info with scissors out of those paper throwables. And throw that in another more public trash where its just names and numbers with no context

I absolutely love the idea of ethical hackers dude spending their free time fighting genuinely evil people like terrorists and Bad actors for fun
Then you might also like videos about certain TH-camrs who are able to expose scammers, such as Scammer Payback (for that channel if you’re interested, just make sure the host in the video actually has blue hair so you’re not fooled by scammers trying to impersonate his channel). I can guarantee you’ll get some satisfaction of these scambaiters crushing a lot of scam call centers and destroying the scammers’ computers using the same hacking systems but for the purpose of stopping scammers from continuing their scam streaks.
i love how he went to north Cyprus blurred everything thinking no one will find out just to show how easy it is
Don’t think it was. Car was left hand drive and driving on right of the road
"I hired hackers to find out who's dumping their trash in my bins" It was the restaurant nearby dumping their trash into my bin to save themselves pick up costs when theirs were full.
This was the most important lesson Zac learned in this video
11:00 just casually eating an ice cream in the rain 😂
Imagine walking down the street and seeing the two most notorious hackers that also stole your entire life savings kidnapped a guy right in front of you in the matter of 10 seconds
Met these two at a WeFightFraud conference, great people doing amazing things to fight fraud in the UK
im surprised this channel hasnt even been popular since 4 years ago, many crazy things zac did, I couldn't even believe after when u walked into a room with government officials etc, this channel havent grown very fast but i enjoy watching these kind of content, Keep up the Good Work 👍
The storytelling on this video really was incredible, felt like watching a film at points it was that good!
Scariest part of this video is Zac eating an Ice Cream in the rain...
Congrats on your new home, Zac!
this is scary how easy it is to do with the right equipment and how careless people are throwing out things with there info on it lol
Equipment and years of experience and lots of knowledge
Proper British lad:
Bought an ice cream while it was raining
Halfway through the video, this is very scary and eye opening.
Imagine that 😶🌫️
Amazing video, going for my bachlors in computer data and cyber security currently. It is crazy how much information people leave open to the public, and how many volunarabilities exist. Great video and enjoy your new villa!
As a cybersecurity student, you should learn how to spell vurbelarinity.
I genuinely appreciate this video because what I've noticed (at least among my friends) is that barely anyone fully understands the danger of the internet/the hackers
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plains?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
The end is so freaking abrupt. Feels like a horror movie set up for part 2.

can we all agree that Tony looks AND SOUNDS EXACTLY like the guy in Black Panther who stole tons of Vibranium
The names for the types of hacks are hilarious. 'WIFI Pineapple'
Is it really that hilarious? We had phones called blackberrys, we have computers called apples.
Ducky USB
WiFi pineapple is the hardware, it's a rogue access point / router that's developed for pentesting.
A lot of IT stuff is called like food. I mean look at all the Android OS Versions (Cupcake, Donut, Macadamia Nut Cookie, the next one is called Vanilla Ice Cream). Or stuff like Raspberry PI, TOR The Onion Router, ApplePi-Baker etc...
Use password managers (for safe passwords) and multi factor authentcation, kids. The two things that put off hackers the most.
password managers not really
@@Chickenburger-2 You're correct. A password manager itself does not really help. Using secure and individual passwords does. I wanted to keep this short and low on technical details, thus the inaccuracy.
Also it makes a huge difference if you are targeted like Zac has been or as is common in industry espionage or a service you use is hacked. Different measures for different scenarios.
@@skorp5677 I don't think it would have mattered. With the Pineapple (WIFI) they would just have stolen his sessions tokens/cookies, and would have used an already signed in session to be logged in.
Even if the website was very secure (Session to IP pinning for example) - it wouldn't have mattered as they'd have been on the same wifi network and shared the IP.
Plus they had physical access to his office. I think I saw a desktop machine in there... They could have plugged in a USB KeyGrabber / USB Remote Access Tool and take over his desktop when his browser was still logged into everything
@@Chickenburger-2 Password managers are great if you use the right kinda one with proper steps to use it and protect it. For example never use cloud based password managers only use ones that use a local file on your computer that you control something like keepass. Secondly you would need to protect that file with 2fa with physical key something like yubikey that requires you to have an password but also an physical key you plug into the computer to access the password vault.
Tony looks like he’s about to break into Wakanda and steal some vibranium
that was actually one of the most interesting videos i have seen in a while
Tony enjoyed it way too much and definitely going back to a life of crime lol
😂
One of the best You tube videos I’ve seen in a long time, fair play Zac, you risked a lot with this one 🤣
13:40 : there is no justification for not destroying his electronics. You had to RUIN his life 😂
This was the second scariest video I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. Huge props Zac.
I worked for a company with an ethical hacking division all the way down to strong arming their way into a building. Some of the guys got tazed/beat up. When caught they were usually arrested and had to wait for their 2nd court date to get realized and found not guilty (sadly not many C types will show up to the first hearing so early in the morning). If I was younger it'd be a cool gig. I was an ex-80s/90s hacker. I was ethical even then, just trying to learn out things worked.
Respect
Wow, they really went all out and you clearly got unwillingly but still a little willingly dragged along for the ride. I bet you went all out with security measures after this experience. You look and sound absolutely horrified. ❤😂
Next up “I hired a hitman to kill me”
😂
How did the guy with the pineapple manage to hack your accounts without you getting a big warning, telling you that you’re entering passwords in an unverified, http website?
They did it by asking him to give them access to the laptop for a quick scene, the video wouldn't progress without it. :D
You can also tell the video is faked because he said he could USB kill the PC, no PC actually dies due to an USB killer.
@@Follina. If I'm remembering right, USB killer can only go as far as destroying the programs inside the computer right? Aint no way that USB is enough to fry the entire content inside computer.
Correct, even have using the Pineapple to create fake websites to get staff to attempt re-authentication to capture the credentials, at 3AM which is a bit odd Zaks staff to be in the office, maybe? The credentials he captured must have not been for an account that had MFA enabled. Instagram of all platforms. But I believe even Instagram would send an email to grant access from new location or mobile number code required? So, there is a little bit of a gap in the information on how that part was achieved.
@@itsnotme8182 the usb killer kills the USB controller at a minimum, but there's a good chance that it's able to kill all of the components of the computer! That bit is real, look them up, they're cool (yet destructive) bits of kit
My man tony legit stole millions and got in a movie and starting helping the government. The realife version pretty much any villain movie
This is the most enlightening and terrifying video I have watched. I am to scared to even go outside now. Unfortunately I am not even safe indoors.
I’ve never seen someone as devoted to his videos as Zac😂
I swear tony laugh is so evil and ominous but yet so funny 😂
I wish the hackers went a little more into detail about how to protect yourself from this kind of stuff. Ig that’s what their books are for but still
yeah thats the point hahahah, you get the gist, then buy the books if you want more
dont put info online
@@tiagomoraes1510 To be fair they literally broke into his physical office
Watching every single video for the last couple months. Since revealing la house selling. Top tier content of this year.
The absolute worst part of cyber security is that you can do absolutely everything right, use a password manager, use complex passwords, 2 factor authentication. but a hacker can just call up your isp pretending to be you in a hurry and half the time the isp or phone company will just hand over all your info.
