How do you know if a fb is stolen. Someone tried hacking my acct and it has not worked since. i e. No requests when I received a 100 per day. Also believe I have been shadow banned across both social media's. Is this possible? And chance to recover without cost?
My question is simple. Does the government do anything at all to regulate it? Do they monitor it or is it just an obscure idea to them that the dark web exists?
my man. i watch trilogy media did not expect to see you here in the comments and video lol btw i messaged you on insta i requested to be your apprentice lol anyway glad to see you doing more good for the world man
@@joonsmelodie9927 that person is either A) a scammer himself B) a snowflake taking PC policing to new heights. Yes, more people you know and don't realize have either engaged in sex work or cares about someone who has, and it's appropriate imo to change the lingo and comment on q video or comment that is using words that are no longer acceptable and offer the terms sex worker and clients as preferred but nobody needs to legitimize scammers and imply that their victims are anything on par with consenting parties to a business relationship!!! Nobody but scammers have any business using these terms and no one should be expected to give a shit
This was terrifying and enraging at the same time! As a business owner myself, the thought of losing all of my important client files and other crucial business data is TERRIFYING! Secondly, it's downright ENRAGING that the hacker acts like they are conducting a business transaction. This is NO business transaction, this is digital robbery!! I hope NOBODY out there ever falls victim to ransomware and remain vigilant at all times! I would love to see the federal government form some sort of cyber crime task force and really investigate these hackers and bring them to justice! God bless you guys for being such heroes!
Metal filing cabinets are a lot harder to hack. Putting it online is convenience, yet endangers so many. JS. Digital age has so many drawbacks when no one really goes after these people.
@@tamitami9275 Exactly what I was going to say. Computers go down, and sometimes you can lose your files and have trouble and expense to get them back. A fireproof locked filing cabinet in your office with all your files and one with duplicate files at home is a lot safer, and quicker to look things up. People just see computers as status symbols. Just because you can use computers doesn't mean that you should. A good corollary is how people abandoned VCRs and started using DVDs just to be trendy and modern. Even 'though you only need to press one button for instant play on a VCR whereas DVDs waste time loading and sometimes can't be fast forwarded. People care more about showing how 'with it' and 'cool' and up to date they are, instead of doing things the most convenient and easiest and safest way.
I went and got my son to watch this with me. He just kept nodding and once in a while stopping the video to explain things to me. My kid understands all of this so much better than I do. This stuff terrifies me, and I can't protect him because I don't understand all of it. I agree, this should be taught in school. Especially with the prevalence of kids on the Internet.
Well done for watching it with your son. Sometimes these videos to an unknown may be difficult to understand for someone not in the know about the risks of the Internet. If you have any questions I'm sure ppl of this channel may always help (not providing personal details of course). Proud of you. DONT GET SCAMMED!
maybe if kids learn this at school there may be some of them who will be hooked with the illegal hack8ng stuff for curiosity so this should be taught at high school or CS degree courses when they get mature enough
This is the scariest video yet. My computer got hijacked, I lost a lot of money. Same thing - ransom demands. The police were completely useless. Had to close all my bank accounts, get a new computer. And I'm far from 81 years old. I was just stupid and careless. This is VERY REAL. And I still get sick thinking about it. It was traumatic and I nearly had a nervous breakdown. Thankfully - I found Trilogy Media. Changed my life. Thank you, Trilogy Media and RYAN - YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! Thank you for posting this video. This hits close to home - THIS IS SO IMPORTANT!!! Please be careful online - and GET GUARDIO!!!

Exactly, brother. As a business owner myself, it would be horrifying to see all of my client's files and other important business related documents just destroyed out of nowhere like that! I always keep files on the cloud because they have backups available that can be restored if anything happens.
Are you kidding me?! 1 in 3 people have malignant ‘covert’ narcissism. And let me tell you that they are all over our so called civilised world 😅 they are all over the world working in just about every job you can think of.

This is disgusting. Totally evil. The fact that people can do this to others and live with themselves. Whether it be big businesses or small businesses. It’s a scary world we live in. Great vid guys. Thank you for opening our eyes and showing us what it’s all about. Nice work by 0day. You handled it nicely for the elderly gentleman.
Floored by this video, one of my favorite ones to date. I cant imagine how horrifying it would be to be in this situation.. how violating. Thank you Trilogy Media you do phenomenal work along with your team and everyone who comes to share their knowledge with you.
Ryan is so calm and in control and that isn't something many people could do if it's them personally doing the negotiating. These bastards (excuse my language) are relying on the person they are threatening/ holding at ransom being unaware of what to do when that happens. That makes them even worse for they are part of our most vulnerable. Thanks to the trilogy team and to Ryan for doing this to genuinely help others opposed to trying to make a lot of money doing it. Keep safe😊.
This was awesome to see. The fact they kept not following through with their word and rescinding their threats made me think the tough guy bully act failed. I still respect anything to do with it on both sides.
I knowww, he said 24 hours and then 6 hours, and stuff so much. And then saying "I'm angry" made me laugh so hard. It's giving children when they're mad.
Holy mother of god. This was insane. Gripping story. 0day is a hero and deserves all the recognition. It’s heartbreaking the old man still has to pay, but it was much less so a win in that sense. Thank you for sharing.
You're an Inspiration brother! Cyber security is a true skill and glad for someone like you is gifted to bring the fight to the evils of this world in this generation... i just wish i could be able to but grateful there are people devoted to this fight !!! Thank you for all that you do
I literally could sit and listen to Ryan talk for hours upon hours. He is the most intelligent, interesting, inspiring, passionate (I could go on) person Ive ever come across! ❤
I love watching your videos with a mix of seriousness and fun. However, sometimes it makes me feel anxious about what is happening in the world. I am at the point where I've not watched TV for five months but in particular I don't watch the news because I take on the emotional side of evil acts and worry about those who are victims. I appreciate you informing me on important issues in a logical manner. Keep up the good work guys you are incredible people. 😊
This was actually pretty scary and in fact extremely worrying how easy it was to steal someone’s identity and hold that information to ransom!? These people have absolutely no morals?! 💙💙 xxx
I really appreciate you guys uploading this video because it gave me a clear understanding about ramson ware. It is so sad that this even exists and it is very terrifying for the future of our loved ones and the world in general. You guys are super amazing you are like a box of chocolate you never know what you are going to get from you guys lol
Hi Stephanie! Agree with you 100%. Especially since we are business owners, we have to be even more protective of our data since it involves client info.
This video was really informative. It's sad to think that people can be this heartless to get money out of people. Especially older people. I hope that guy can recover from this with his business. Thanks to Ryan for being the best negotiator even if it's sad to have to pay anyways.
Congrats to 0Day for helping people . Those ransomware groups are just thieves . Why don't they use their skill to do some good ? As some philosophy say , doing the evil is easier as long as we act selfish . Great video Trilogy 👏
This was one of the most informative stream I have ever seen. Many thanks for going behind the scenes. It is very easy to be blase about ransom ware and this brings it to a hugely sinister forefront
The fact these hackers are able to use emotion and talk in a way that makes them seem like they are negotiating is mind boggling. It’s like they are a help team who’s also tryna Rob u 😭
Certainly such a scary situation! So evil, sickening, and despicable! 😠🤮Appreciate all you do! Shoutout to 0Day, too! You are all superheroes! Thank you, love you, appreciate you from the bottom of my heart! Absolute rockstars!❤❤
Thank you guys for publishing this content. Ransomware is terrifying. There were several hospitals in Ontario that had this issue last summer and I prayed I didn't have a serious issue as systems were down. Absolutely terrifying when they seize your emergency services and affect everyone that's been to any of those hospitals. I was one of tens of thousands who's information was at risk.
I knew this was a thing but just wow...thank you for bringing us this footage so folks can see and take steps to protect themselves. Thank you 0Day for all your hard work ❤
This is definitely a scary video. You guys have done a great job explaining things that people don’t know much about. This shit is crazy. as always, you guys have done a amazing job. Thanks for all your hard work. Big shout out to 0day. Sure am glad he’s on our side lol.
Ryan’s explanation of social engineering reminds me of a story from the last retail job I worked. Before I started there, the district had an uptick in over-the-phone gift card scammers. The district manager sat everyone down and explained, “Here’s the scam, here’s how they do it, here’s what you do to avoid it.” Not long after that conversation (I think it was the same day), a lower-level employee called the manager and announced they had fallen for the scam. The district manager, a normally chill guy, responded by unloading in profane Russian.
Same thing happened when someone I know had their website hacked and defaced .. then afterwards they hint at how to secure the site without saying how they got in but I found the hole and the site owner patched it up.
These kinds of negotiations could corrupt your mind. Imagine you are the only middle man without a coworker by your side giving you social support just to ground the reality.
Wow!! 🤯 I've seen Ryan before in co-labs with Perogi. It's fascinating that he had negotiationed with Blackcat before the MGM fiasco. Being a boomer, i do wish he was on TH-cam as i don't use those other apps. Great episode! Thanks for bringing the awareness.
Why go after an elderly man with not much to give and accept a meager $75k when they just raked-in $15-million from another? Were they ransomware hackers in training and their homework was to take a small fish? The disparity in price for the same "work" just doesn't make sense.
Elderly people don’t grow up with technology therefore are less aware about cybersecurity making them easy targets. Same reasons scam call centres target elderly
Realistically speaking, a group like that cannot hit large companies all the time. They need smaller hacks, maybe to test new people to enter their group or just to stay under the radar. Because once you hack a large corporation, you are on the radar of lots of investigations, you wait to die out and hack big again.
I've read the victim is into CP, that would be a reason to bring him down. It's not random, either big corp with loads of money or they target people with vile fetishes.
Thanks to people like you that I have learnt to take precautions. I'm in my late 70's so we didn't even have TV's, Cell Phones, computers ect so our generation is reliant on self education.
He dropped out of high school and taught himself. This field is not gatekept by anybody that is the beauty of it anyone can learn if they really want to especially with the resources we have in our pockets
Wow. Thanks so much for doing this vid for us! This is such important information. Well done. ❣️ Thank you ,0Dday, for being there for people to turn to when this happens.
Ryan is such a catch! Altruism and passion are 2 very rare and incredibly vital characteristics to keep the good side in the fight against the bad side in our world.
When I first started marking music this happened to me once they took over my entire pc deleted all the files , replaced the system files asking for bitcoin or everything would be deleted. Thankfully I wasn’t far into my career and nothing of value was on the computer but in essence I had to completely rebuild my computer from the inner workings had to remove windows and install Linux and run windows through there to reinstall it back such a messed up experience scary af
Thanks for this incredible insight. I don't understand why they don't look up the financials and confirm that a) he does not have enough money or b) he does have enough money. If a is the case, then an agreement on a lesser sum is warranted. If b is the case, then they can simply call the bluff and state that he does have the money to pay the initial ransom fee. Update: Apparently, they know, but if that is the case, it still seems bizarre to me. They can just send Montgomery the financials and settle the whole debate instantly.
Wow great work gentleman. That’s scary scary stuff. I love that you guys are venturing out to all types of scams. Much love to all of you at trilogy media ❤💗💕❤️
Its people like the person you're talking with that made me wanna go into information security. I have a long.. LOOOONG way to go.. but I hope to be able to help others like you do.
This is absolutely amazing. As a fellow youtuber, I not only enjoy your videos for the instructional content, but the way you structure your videos, storytelling, editing is REALLY inspiring. Thank you for being such a fund of knowledge AND entertainment!
This video is one everyone needs to pay close attention to. Given that Ryan had to negotiate the way he did shows how ruthless these hackers are. People can be rich on paper and yet still be cash light, I saw this many times during my Wall Street days. Liquidating assets can take a lot of time, even moreso when trying to negotiate to meet the hackers' required cryptocurrency demands.
@BundiesUndies I'm not a moderator so I had no power to block you. The reason I replied as I did is because Trilogy never engages in clickbait. Their videos are exactly what they say they are. Granted the thumbnails are made to draw in viewers, that doesn't make them clickbait. So you know, moderators' names are in blue and they have a blue wrench after their name.
@@Lamour-c5b yes, he should be very proud. In the beginning it seemed there would be no negotiating from the initial $225K. Ryan proved that not only was it possible, it put him and other negotiators in a much better position should they have to deal with AlphV again.
@@PlumberWRX I have no power to block anyone as I’m not a moderator. If someone gets blocked it’s because of something THEY did. Yeah you have to be pretty lame to get yourself blocked 🤣🤣🤣 Just an FYI if they can comment here they’re not blocked. The fact their comments are visible proves they’re not.
just take precautions buddy. obviously they may fail, but it is unprobable that an hacker would go through the process of pocking holes in a small business system if it has at least a good security. it would take too much time and it would not be worth it. and with good security i mean do not leave vulnerabilities in the open , use standard good practice such as using strong passwords(or juat use keys) and do if you have the possibility pentest your system.
I just received a letter from Change Healthcare. I was part of that breech. I found out that they paid 22 million to the ransomers, but the criminals (of course) didn't keep their side of deal. The data hasn't been recovered.
Thank you trilogy Media and Ryan for sharing this educational video with us! Testimony that real time protection like Guardio and VPN's are necessary. Together we can all make a difference and help bring down the Evil in this world known as scammers. Keep up the Fight!
That is so amazing and very informative. There are hundreds, if not, thousands out there who are unaware or just don’t take this kind of precaution seriously until it happens to us. The whole time watching this I was like holding on to my chair waiting anxiously of what’s going to happen next. Seriously you guys are amazing in helping us to be educated. Appreciate how Ryan is calmly teaching us how to nagivate and protect ourselves. I couldn’t thank you enough guys. Much respect to you all. Cybersecurity education is really important. I think I need to reconsider my profession from being a druggist to cybersecurity thing😅
i was attacked by a ransomware 2-3 times, luckily the data which was encrypted by the ransomware was not that imp to me so it didnt matter but since then i have been keeping backup of everything including windows image and all the pics, docs etc etc etc on a local drive which is neither connected to my system nor the internet
I find it interesting that they depict the hacker as a demon behind a keyboard when in reality they look just like everybody else. You may never know when you’re among an evil person is what’s really scary.
The financial company I work for is constantly training us on how to not fall for phishing emails... to the point that they send us random "tests" to see if we fall for it and if we do fall for it a couple times, you lose your job.

@@Marconel100 Yes indeed. But hey, don't worry, once I had a harddisk crash, all my movies and music were gone 😂
I love watching your videos with a mix of seriousness and fun. However, sometimes it makes me feel anxious about what is happening in the world. I am at the point where I've not watched TV for five months but in particular I don't watch the news because I take on the emotional side of evil acts and worry about those who are victims. I appreciate you informing me on important issues in a logical manner. Keep up the good work guys you are incredible people. 😊
I got into 8 colleges for the major cybersecurity, and I’m going to go through with it.
How is it going so far?
Wow congratulations you are so lucky I would how to hack into my boyfriend's account if I had one
This was actually pretty scary and in fact extremely worrying how easy it was to steal someone’s identity and hold that information to ransom!? These people have absolutely no morals?! 💙💙 xxx
Love your work boys! The "hacker voice" resonates on a frequency that makes me physically sick, so it's a hard watch but worth it.
The "hacker voice" is nightmare fuel!
Bruh you are my Role model 🔥. You inspired me to learn Cybersecurity
@@mohdcom25you said this to the wrong person I'm guessing? Unless Lauren is a cyber security expert I haven't heard of.
Thanks!
I really appreciate you guys uploading this video because it gave me a clear understanding about ramson ware. It is so sad that this even exists and it is very terrifying for the future of our loved ones and the world in general. You guys are super amazing you are like a box of chocolate you never know what you are going to get from you guys lol
lol
Hi Stephanie! Agree with you 100%. Especially since we are business owners, we have to be even more protective of our data since it involves client info.
This video was really informative. It's sad to think that people can be this heartless to get money out of people. Especially older people. I hope that guy can recover from this with his business. Thanks to Ryan for being the best negotiator even if it's sad to have to pay anyways.
Congrats to 0Day for helping people . Those ransomware groups are just thieves . Why don't they use their skill to do some good ? As some philosophy say , doing the evil is easier as long as we act selfish . Great video Trilogy 👏
"Good" just simply doesn't pay. They want the $$
@@izzylopez81 Indeed
This was one of the most informative stream I have ever seen. Many thanks for going behind the scenes. It is very easy to be blase about ransom ware and this brings it to a hugely sinister forefront
Thank you Trilogy Media for shining a light on this very dark topic.
"Why is it not in public schools?" Art is asking the right questions. People need to be educated on this.
I thought so too !
Because now days, the school only teaches gender studies, pronoun names, sex kink and if you’re a color person then you’re a victim.
Schools don't teach many life skills we need like cybersecurity, how to budget and manage money and first aid
@@misfitm1457 I can't think of one useful thing I learned back in school (high school and back) that I actually used in the real world!
The fact these hackers are able to use emotion and talk in a way that makes them seem like they are negotiating is mind boggling. It’s like they are a help team who’s also tryna Rob u 😭
Certainly such a scary situation!
So evil, sickening, and despicable! 😠🤮Appreciate all you do! Shoutout to 0Day, too! You are all superheroes! Thank you, love you, appreciate you from the bottom of my heart! Absolute rockstars!❤❤
Hello Ashton, Art, O'Day, Poptart, Conner, Matt, Chappy, Janis Konig,Ladybassguitarplayer Jim Browning, Our entire TM/ TM+ Family. Hello my Fellow
Squadsters much respect and ❤
Thank you guys for publishing this content. Ransomware is terrifying. There were several hospitals in Ontario that had this issue last summer and I prayed I didn't have a serious issue as systems were down. Absolutely terrifying when they seize your emergency services and affect everyone that's been to any of those hospitals. I was one of tens of thousands who's information was at risk.
I knew this was a thing but just wow...thank you for bringing us this footage so folks can see and take steps to protect themselves. Thank you 0Day for all your hard work ❤
Great job Ryan. And thx TM for the awareness. . This was hard to watch. That poor man. Everyone be safe! ❤️👏🏻✌️
This is definitely a scary video. You guys have done a great job explaining things that people don’t know much about. This shit is crazy. as always, you guys have done a amazing job. Thanks for all your hard work. Big shout out to 0day. Sure am glad he’s on our side lol.
Ryan’s explanation of social engineering reminds me of a story from the last retail job I worked. Before I started there, the district had an uptick in over-the-phone gift card scammers. The district manager sat everyone down and explained, “Here’s the scam, here’s how they do it, here’s what you do to avoid it.” Not long after that conversation (I think it was the same day), a lower-level employee called the manager and announced they had fallen for the scam. The district manager, a normally chill guy, responded by unloading in profane Russian.
I find it kinda funny that the Hackers give you a promise that they'll never target you again and offer some advice to stay safe next time XD
Same thing happened when someone I know had their website hacked and defaced .. then afterwards they hint at how to secure the site without saying how they got in but I found the hole and the site owner patched it up.
These kinds of negotiations could corrupt your mind. Imagine you are the only middle man without a coworker by your side giving you social support just to ground the reality.
Wow. This was creepy. Like a deal with the devil.
This is unbelievable crazy! I'm only halfway through the video, but this is def the most intense content you have ever produced to date! 😮
Wow!! 🤯 I've seen Ryan before in co-labs with Perogi. It's fascinating that he had negotiationed with Blackcat before the MGM fiasco. Being a boomer, i do wish he was on TH-cam as i don't use those other apps.
Great episode! Thanks for bringing the awareness.
Did you see his episode on the Shawn Ryan show? So much respect to Ryan.
@@DEPUTYGETSOME No...will have to check it out! Thanks 😊
That was such a great video. Thank you for this!
Why go after an elderly man with not much to give and accept a meager $75k when they just raked-in $15-million from another? Were they ransomware hackers in training and their homework was to take a small fish? The disparity in price for the same "work" just doesn't make sense.
Elderly people don’t grow up with technology therefore are less aware about cybersecurity making them easy targets. Same reasons scam call centres target elderly
Realistically speaking, a group like that cannot hit large companies all the time. They need smaller hacks, maybe to test new people to enter their group or just to stay under the radar. Because once you hack a large corporation, you are on the radar of lots of investigations, you wait to die out and hack big again.
That hacker organization alpha .... There's like hundreds of not thousand of hackers it's a group of hackers all around world working together....
Maybe they are hired by a man who hates the victim? Personal
I've read the victim is into CP, that would be a reason to bring him down. It's not random, either big corp with loads of money or they target people with vile fetishes.
You guys are the real heros ..appreciate your content and efforts
Thanks to people like you that I have learnt to take precautions. I'm in my late 70's so we didn't even have TV's, Cell Phones, computers ect so our generation is reliant on self education.
Ryan seems like such an amazing guy. I wonder if he went to school for cyber security or did he teach himself?
He dropped out of high school and taught himself. This field is not gatekept by anybody that is the beauty of it anyone can learn if they really want to especially with the resources we have in our pockets
Watching this video is scary I am so delighted you guys are out there keep up the good work love yous ❤
Ireland needs people like you respect xx
Holy guacamole!!!! What a crazy situation. Thanks for sharing this!!!
Wow. Thanks so much for doing this vid for us! This is such important information. Well done. ❣️ Thank you ,0Dday, for being there for people to turn to when this happens.
Ryan is such a catch! Altruism and passion are 2 very rare and incredibly vital characteristics to keep the good side in the fight against the bad side in our world.
When I first started marking music this happened to me once they took over my entire pc deleted all the files , replaced the system files asking for bitcoin or everything would be deleted. Thankfully I wasn’t far into my career and nothing of value was on the computer but in essence I had to completely rebuild my computer from the inner workings had to remove windows and install Linux and run windows through there to reinstall it back such a messed up experience scary af
We deal with this stuff all the time. It's always interesting to see how the TA gets into the environment.
Wow that’s scary! Scared my old boss too. Ty for the info, great work to you and @0day ❤❤
Thanks for this incredible insight.
I don't understand why they don't look up the financials and confirm that a) he does not have enough money or b) he does have enough money. If a is the case, then an agreement on a lesser sum is warranted. If b is the case, then they can simply call the bluff and state that he does have the money to pay the initial ransom fee. Update: Apparently, they know, but if that is the case, it still seems bizarre to me. They can just send Montgomery the financials and settle the whole debate instantly.
We need some sort of fund raiser for that old man to get his life back running.
yeah... hotel billionaires need our help...
@@hamsterdmgthey meant the local accounting firm not MGM.
@@hamsterdmgHe is talking about the accounting firm …
He was talking about the accountant firm or something. Different then the hotel problem@@hamsterdmg
From a local accountant firm. Watch the video next time@@hamsterdmg
Wow great work gentleman. That’s scary scary stuff. I love that you guys are venturing out to all types of scams. Much love to all of you at trilogy media ❤💗💕❤️
this is def scary to see thankfully have people on our side that can help
Ryan is absolutely amazing.
Its people like the person you're talking with that made me wanna go into information security. I have a long.. LOOOONG way to go.. but I hope to be able to help others like you do.
When I was in high school in the late 1970's we had IBM Selectric II TYPEWRITERS and NOT computers. How times have changed!
IKR?!
Best video you guy’s ever made! Very interesting and enlightening.
Crazy how no one commented on the fact that the person called Ryan out by name and said they are familiar with his work.
WOOOW watching this I was getting heart palpitations. Fair play to the negotiator cuz I could never ever do this.
Here what I have never got about cyber crime is they can find you but you can’t find them, they can infect your computer but you can’t theirs.
This video is amazingly MINDBLOWING!!! Thanks guys for a look into a world I hope I’ll never experience in my life.
Sending love and prayers for doing what is right. Get threatened by an attorney, write back, we will see you in court
Get em Ash and Art! We out here! Trilogy gang for life.
The "no guarantee that they'd attack again" is the price those unsecured have to pay for their lesson on security.
This is absolutely amazing. As a fellow youtuber, I not only enjoy your videos for the instructional content, but the way you structure your videos, storytelling, editing is REALLY inspiring. Thank you for being such a fund of knowledge AND entertainment!
This video is one everyone needs to pay close attention to. Given that Ryan had to negotiate the way he did shows how ruthless these hackers are. People can be rich on paper and yet still be cash light, I saw this many times during my Wall Street days. Liquidating assets can take a lot of time, even moreso when trying to negotiate to meet the hackers' required cryptocurrency demands.
@BundiesUndies I'm not a moderator so I had no power to block you. The reason I replied as I did is because Trilogy never engages in clickbait. Their videos are exactly what they say they are. Granted the thumbnails are made to draw in viewers, that doesn't make them clickbait. So you know, moderators' names are in blue and they have a blue wrench after their name.
I think he should be proud he got them to drop $150K from their first demand! - Lorraine Lamour
@@Lamour-c5b yes, he should be very proud. In the beginning it seemed there would be no negotiating from the initial $225K. Ryan proved that not only was it possible, it put him and other negotiators in a much better position should they have to deal with AlphV again.
wow you got him blocked that's so lame
@@PlumberWRX I have no power to block anyone as I’m not a moderator. If someone gets blocked it’s because of something THEY did. Yeah you have to be pretty lame to get yourself blocked 🤣🤣🤣
Just an FYI if they can comment here they’re not blocked. The fact their comments are visible proves they’re not.
That is fucking wild, thank you for positing this.
This is such a US thing. Most companies here in Norway, and even a lot of people, have ransomware insurance that helps solve these types of incidents.
This Video Was So Flipping Interesting.
Really enjoyed it Fellas..!!
Currently transitioning from IT into Cyber with pretty good knowledge and loved seeing this conversation transaction.
WE ♥️ 0DAY !!!
Yes We’re!😉👍
That's insane. I hope we learn what we need to learn to avoid this.
This video gives me major anxiety. I just hate having to think this can happen to us.
just take precautions buddy. obviously they may fail, but it is unprobable that an hacker would go through the process of pocking holes in a small business system if it has at least a good security. it would take too much time and it would not be worth it.
and with good security i mean do not leave vulnerabilities in the open , use standard good practice such as using strong passwords(or juat use keys) and do if you have the possibility pentest your system.
I just received a letter from Change Healthcare. I was part of that breech. I found out that they paid 22 million to the ransomers, but the criminals (of course) didn't keep their side of deal. The data hasn't been recovered.
Thank you trilogy Media and Ryan for sharing this educational video with us! Testimony that real time protection like Guardio and VPN's are necessary. Together we can all make a difference and help bring down the Evil in this world known as scammers. Keep up the Fight!
That is so amazing and very informative. There are hundreds, if not, thousands out there who are unaware or just don’t take this kind of precaution seriously until it happens to us. The whole time watching this I was like holding on to my chair waiting anxiously of what’s going to happen next. Seriously you guys are amazing in helping us to be educated. Appreciate how Ryan is calmly teaching us how to nagivate and protect ourselves. I couldn’t thank you enough guys. Much respect to you all.
Cybersecurity education is really important. I think I need to reconsider my profession from being a druggist to cybersecurity thing😅
THANK YOU FOR THE NEW VIDEO! TRILOGY MEDIA FOREVER! 💙
Y’all need to get sponsored by a data backup company as well. If you got protected backups you can just reload to get up and running
i was attacked by a ransomware 2-3 times, luckily the data which was encrypted by the ransomware was not that imp to me so it didnt matter but since then i have been keeping backup of everything including windows image and all the pics, docs etc etc etc on a local drive which is neither connected to my system nor the internet
Damn what did you do to get ransomware 2-3 times?????
How did you get the ransomware???
Rayan thanks for exposing pedos on the dark web. You were my huge inspiration to go into hacking and cybersecurity
Great video thank you for sharing God bless y'all 😊
I find it interesting that they depict the hacker as a demon behind a keyboard when in reality they look just like everybody else. You may never know when you’re among an evil person is what’s really scary.
I love how you go out your way to help anyone and everyone your amazing ❤❤
The financial company I work for is constantly training us on how to not fall for phishing emails... to the point that they send us random "tests" to see if we fall for it and if we do fall for it a couple times, you lose your job.
the bigger the company, the more things to protect...
Absolutely. A lot of companies to this day have a ton of vulnerabilities simply because they aren’t invested in cybersecurity.
Love seeing Oday again!
This is horrifying yet fascinating.
