- When Joseph Harris was a teen, he learned that video game accounts and social media handles were worth big bucks on the dark web - if you could take control of them. Thus began his life of crime. He wormed his way into exploits, took control of email and Dropbox accounts, and eventually started sniffing out the keys to valuable crypto wallets. From there, he was only a sim-swap away from stealing millions of dollars.
But his stolen fortunes quickly took a turn.
After the episode, check out Joseph's TH-cam channel to see what he's up to now: / @doc

Your podcast does such a good job of humanizing black hat hackers to where I want to see them get out of any consequences no matter what or how much they stole.
I agree, it would be wild if he got a black hat hacker on that got away with it and keep em anonymous.
[Insert no sleep joke here]
Was going to go sleep, until DnD hit me in the knee.
Stress is a mf
I am nocturnal
My fart woke me up, and the smell is keeping me awake.
My dog is blind and thinks night is day, so I'm up
I got robbed so hard in runescape ð prob by this guy ð
same here... rip all my Party hats, Santa hats and Halloween masks
Ruru is one of the main videogames I learned valuable cyber skillsð Iâm curious how it went down if you donât mind me asking?
Heâs honestly a bastardðĪĢ makes for a great story though
Genuinely one of the best podcasts
Definitely shocking how fast they got to him, while he was still in the hotel room. I'm used to these kinds of investigations taking months or years.
ðĪðĪðĪ
They for sure lied to him about how he got caught
This guy is a true hacker. He was as diligent with his opSec as he could, lived frugally and he had actual technical skills. It only took one small mistake to catch him. Really goes to show that crime isn't worth it.
yep, if i were him i would've stopped when i got a mil
No he got greedy. Never get greedy.
great job! I really like these long duration podcasts (I know it must take a lot of work, researching, etc.). I hope this channel continues to get a lot more subscribers. I am surprised it doesn't have over a million subscribers.
My priorities of the night just changed, I actually get excited for these videos, thank you!
Itâs part of a strategy Jack has to disrupt your sleep cycle.
â@@eIicit That sneaky bastard! Oh well, I love it anyway.
As a Software Engineer and a Security Analyst enthusiast. Listening to your podcast always makes me be happy, because i always learn something new everytime. I know making the podcast is sometimes very hard, but great work Jack for the concistencyðŊðŊ
As a software engineer no one cares
â@@ZzzZzz-yd2je As a software engineer, did Jack say he wrote Perl?
Me, my sister and Cousin had a scheme to scam people out of their Gaia online accounts and steal all their rare items. We were kids and thought it was genius, but I never thought of it being âSocial engineeringâ until listening to this. I obviously feel bad about it now, but itâs crazy to look back and see how a group of pre-teens could social engineer.
What did you guys do? This sounds like a video that I usually skip the first part ð
My mans found a zero day
Jail vs prison, he is correct. I can remember that I was never so happy to leave jail just to go to prison. Of course I am out now.
moral of the story: NEVER CHECK OUT OF YOUR HOTEL LEAVE THE ALBUM KEYCARDS ON THE TABLE MAKE LIKE A TREE AND GET OUTTA THERE!!!!
Like a tree?
What?? Thatâs OLD. Iâm a 17yr airline employee whoâs been retired 5yrs so that was 20yrs ago. All your CC for that hotel and your name is on your room card. People had card readers for a long time.
@@hoopslaa5235 trueð this dude had me lost, so thank you hahaha. Like what? The second you pay w card or hand over that state issued IDâĶ.
â@@miproduction6196make like a tree and leave , a play on leaf
I can't stop listening to this podcast
best podcast
Awesome episode Jack! Such an awesome way to start every Thursday. Just got my stickers the other day and they are SO CLEAN!
first thursday on the month has become my favorite day ðĐ
Great episode.
The way he was caught is kinda sad, but he wouldn't have stopped.
Wow this is the 3rd time I've been the 1st person to view your podcast jack I LOVR THEM!

Seven words that make algorithms love You.
To add muy 5 cents. Write down your the words of your recovery seed in the wrong order (regardless where you store them), then store the ordering somewhere different. You can even store the ordering digitally as, by itself, cannot be used to recover the seed. If you use a long seed, it will still be very difficult to work out the right order in case the words get compromised.
Or hash with another passphrase you only remember by heart and only use on that hash
The order of the words can easily be bruteforced. Bad advice.
@@ScamCast Oh really? If you have 24 words, there are possibilities in the order of 24! (6.2e23). Good luck.
@@ernesto4166 wrong
@ernesto4166 Actually, yea you're right. Happy to admit when I'm wrong. ðĩ Sorry I don't maths
I used to plot on stealing and reselling dogs (only little ones) but if I never looked at it as social engineering
I keep my crypto wallet key in an encrypted password protected archive on my google drive. The password is a long sentence with special characters that I only know. There's only $20 in my wallet though. It's not much but it's honest work. ð
Ive been watching since your first 4 videos i love it man
I used to scam items on Diablo back in early 2000âs.
I would have my friend in the same trading room, and we would have a super random useless item that held 0 value.
Than I would offer him a bunch of super valuable items for it and he would decline the offer. Than I would say if anyone can get the item from him I will trade you all this for it.
They would trade everything of value they had for the crap item. Than we would both leave the game.
Lasted a solid 6 months before people stopped falling for it. I had countless accounts that was simply filled with valuable items. ð ðĪĶââïļðĪĢ
You SOB lol. I was scammed that way.
Love your podcast Jack
been binging your stuff lately, keep it upð
10:15 Wrong. It's not robbing. It's stealing. Robbing is stealing where you threaten force or use force. Getting into a wallet doesn't put someone in grave risk of serious bodily harm or death. So, maybe next time choose your English words wiser. Lis Pendens.
Ya gotta know wen to hold em, know when to fold em Jake.
Know when to walk away know when to run .
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
It always surprises me that these little limp wristed hackers are able to survive jail/prison
I remember speaking to Doc a few times, always a pleasure. Interesting to finally hear his story and how that GMX and Gmail exploit worked-I always figured it had to do with cookies. Anybody else miss Tamper Data?ð
Great content as per usual ð
I haven't caught many of your last ones on release and haven't got all the way through this yet so sorry if you mention it later. Talking about Crypto makes me think of when hackers were mining bitcoin using computers on a windfarm and were maintaining the software.
Content like this don't come around often I'd want it again and again
i used to work on an vpn and I always said make sure there's a way to completely not leak your IP briefly when VPN drops or what's the point
Best one yet.
Listening to most of this podcasts it sounds like The FBI have a lot of Bitcoin
THIS IS LITERALLY INSANE!!
love ur work thank u
I love the story
I found a 0-day once in Canadian Virgin DSL modems with integrated passwords. The algorithm that generates the default passwords and tells the user "your password is ************" was flawed and the RNG used only 32 bits of entropy. Most people don't change their default password.
I wrote a modified version of hashcat that would try every password from the 2^32 possibilities and ran it on my Ethereum mining rig (this was before proof-of-stake) for fun. Averaged 30 minutes per Wi-Fi network to get in, and the GPUs were underclocked to save power while mining.
RuneScape didnât incorporate emails back then lol. It was straight username and password.
I remember how easy it was to recover a Gmail account. I would just email them and say hey I forgot my password and they would be like I'm sorry click here to change your password. Never asked a single thing. ð
Thankyou for making these videos. I also like your little intro stories, they remind me of stuff I did in my younger days.
Meanwhile bitcoin is at 71k today wtf
Tooo much money without violence ooh boy
Best morning is always Thursday morning (est)
Congratulations is the funniest thing, to say after recovering
Elmwood is the Farm. That place is easy compared to San Jose Main Jail. Crazy story.
This will be a fascinating episode, I'd say
Is that GMX vulnerability still active? I ask because I have Junk GMX account.
That's why I write down the seed phrase and I have a paper wallet in my safety deposit box. Nothing digital done and dusted you can't hack paper
Damn this ep is hot ðĨ
I was born in San Jose and grew up in the Santa Cruz mountains....lol
He stole bit coin in 2013 where people could be rich today had he left it alone
Destroying PC's after using them ?! Why not just using Tails Linux USB?.
They explained it. Forensics on the ram. - although I feel like that's a bit paranoid. Even so, if you fill the ram a dozen times with random data, it'd be nearly impossible to get anything.
Hdds / ssds are a bit too time-consuming to do that with, imo.

Thank god yâall were on RuneScape and werenât the ones that hacked me on Maplestory + Combat Armsððð *mid life crisis villain revenge arch forms*
I guess it's good Google is phasing out 3rd party cookies?
A podcast with OccupyTheWeb please
Of course its runescape.. lol
Damn, I invested in the Auger ICO back around 2016 or whever it was. That and Golem. I think they both went to 0 eventually. Or maybe this dude stole it from me. Who knows?
Fucking Augur!! Thereâs a coin I havenât heard mentioned for a hot minute.
The best strategy is to make someone else play
Ite so I was doomscrolling again and Jacks beartrap got my foot now im stuck here with another Darknet Diaries ð
Joseph got greedy.
ok mate, i already said this before and i know the lad is busy, but we should start a campaign and get geohot here
Geohot?

JACK I LOVE YOU!! âĪâĪ
How about repaying those millions in damages?
Ayoo whattt
Yeah it is true not even google authenticator is good easy to recover if it is logged in someone's computer
Honestly I don't even care if you emptys some crypto millionere wallet. They have more.
Heâs a bank robber
What's the website he is talking about the min 25:00 ?
He was in m8
WOOHOO
Nice
where you in m8
Maybe im tripping but bro is saying too much ðĪ great story though ð
How does someone steal coins that can't be touched
Sometimes, ignorance is a blessing
Called GOOGLE? They have a phone number for gmail help.
CAN YOU PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO A TH-cam PODCAST ON MY COMPUTER THE KREMLIN AND ME, PLEAESE, EVERYONE WILL LOVE ITðŧ
This all just sounds like bullshit
What is the best strategy to enter crypto trading for someone with more or less than $5,000 to invest?
As a beginner, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable.
I'm guided by a widely known crypto consultant
Mrs Nancy Williams Laplace
Yeah that's right I think it's right to invest with professional at least it saves the trauma of too much loses
The first step to successful investment is figuring your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but it's very advisable you make use of professional
Isn't she the same Mrs Nancy Williams Laplace that my neighbors are talking about, she has to be a perfect expect for people to talk about her so well.
first
Recent episodes are just promoting crime! The interviews with sec experts are interesting. But listening to some teenager bragging about how he ripped off innocent people and didn't feel guilty at all is not entertainment
He did his time, said he felt some guilt. Now he's doing honest work. Stop it.
well said@@ScamCast
I stopped listening at the point where the kid mentioned RAM memory... Pretty sure that you'll know why
You mean he mentioned random access memory memory?
Heâs explaining to not only Jack but to the not so technically inclined people who also listen to the podcast. Some people know what Ram means but putting memory on the end doesnât hurt for people who donât understand as well.
I have to wonder how often someone changes someone's affiliate urls to their own .. does cookie stuffing still exist, by the way?
55:50 Marinera lmao
Iâm hooked on this podcastâĶ ðŠ
