At one point my mom had an experience with her identity being stolen. My mom had moved to another state. Once she got there ,she had tried to get a new license. They said she had to prove her identity as someone stole it and claimed she had died so they could collect the life insurance. It was a crazy lengthy process but she was finally able to clear all of it up. It took many steps but she was able to fix it all.
Mariana you are one brave woman! I love you! Your investigative skills are incredible. This was the fastest 45 minutes I’ve ever had watching a documentary. This is downright scary for the world! To hack and hold for ransom Hospitals, Schools, and basic structures of utilities is very unnerving! Hire more of these types of Hackers to circumvent the crimes being attempted. I find it ironic that the Security Consultants are actually criminals in the same fields! Geez can you trust anyone? I feel for your 4 examples of people that have lost so much! I do hope your tech people helped them. Thanks for another chilling documentary!! Love the content. Everyone try to be safe out there.
that statement is so profoundly frightening..."the good guys need to find everyhole in their cyber security, while the bad guys need to find just ONE"!!!
There is no value in erasing your requests. Besides with the redundancy built into that sort of thing, that is if they are doing it right you will still get a bill. The value is, as I like to put it, it's in your everyday life. Done right then you can can be completely owned. Mine to be bought or sold.
One thing this proves is how stupid some systems are. You shouldn't be able to claim social security benefits just by filling a form. There has to be a second factor of authentication. You have to go in person to some office to prove your identity or require some kind of biometric access that hackers will find difficult to acquire.
Definitely. The other stupid thing is anyone can take out a new credit card in your name with only your social security number like why these dumb banks not asking to validate identification
Woow woow wooow what a nother great story. This is better than any news or movie i ever watched. This is a wholl nother world. Thank you thank you thank you to you and your crew. Keep going and be safe
This type of thing happened to me. They posted pictures to the public of me that were meant to stay private. People I went to school with saw it, family members, you name it. It’s left me with shame & anxiety. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. I don’t post on social media anymore.
Interesting documentary, love her interviews with criminals in the Trafficked series. Would be nice to get a bit of international perspective on the credit card fraud though, I wouldn't be surprised if this was a way smaller problem outside the US. I remember travelling in the US and thinking that the payment systems must be a fraudsters dream, often still set up using signatures nobody ever checked rather than PINs. My European bank card always insisted on the PIN, often confusing merchants, but just making it that much harder for fraudsters just by requiring an additional bit of information that you never share online.
the wealth of the victim doesn't matter past a point. Having millions doesn't matter because you aren't going to be using and trying to access millions in transactions. The average person is just as viable a target as a "joe rogan" target, if not more preferred because of litigation.
@@creatureofhavoc if you lock your card the data won’t give them the passcode. Data is just footsteps of where you digitally been. You would have to fall for a trap like log in to scammers WiFi or log in through email scammer sent pretending to be your bank
@@MF-kr4hf I've met many people who have had the same things happen to them. All have been single mothers with kids. That seems to be the common factor. I posted a story and found at least 5 other single mothers in my county who have been targeted.
Great video. You have to educate people since you have the ability to do public speaking and video production. :) It's not enough to expect your ISP to protect you. You need to start getting fed up on your own and controlling "every step you take." Stay up to date with the latest vulnerabilities, there are people who spend many hours every day checking systems for vulnerabilities. Because of the big mega market, a lot of software is not tested properly but is sold and rented to make money, and therefore vulnerabilities are present and are used by people like those you interviewed. Maximum security is a classic phrase. Unfortunately, it does not exist. Have a safe day. :)
I'm scared lockbit will hack TH-cam and watch all those who commented and hold them for ransom 😅😂. This is not funny, one of the best documentaries from @Mariana
Its mind blowing that these criminals let them bring more attention to their illegal activity. It only makes it easier for the feds to crackdown on the tactics they use.
There is if you are fairly sure of your anonymity and want to promote your brand/product. "lockbit" sent that link to her for a reason. Its good for the public to know this software is out there, but now so does everyone who might want to buy it from him
Thats why most of these types of people agree to talkng to her. shes mentioned in an interview on Joe rogans podcast that prestige and advertising are some of the main reasons ppl agree to be interviewed by her. the thing is people LOOKING for this kind of software to use it, will probably find it anyway. The mass population doesnt even know most of this is going on. Its worth letting them get maybe slightly more clientele if it teaches millions of people about the dangers they face
EXCELLENT DOCUMENTARY!! She should do one about cyber investments. Scammers tell you that their computer programs can generate a lot of money for you in the stock market. One ad they were running featured Elon Musk talking about how he developed this program to help people make money. It was a big scam in Europe. Now it is starting or running in North America.
Ask him if his name is Sam. And if he works with Matt. =) I think I've been seeing them online for about 5 years . Yo FBI - those are the guys I told you about, on Steam, I think
Quote from an anonymous cyber pirate interveiwed in above video who believes he is smart: "If you are smart about it, you won't get caught." If that Mr. Anonymous is so smart then why is he often filled with anxiety making him want to hide and live only in the shadows and in cave like expensive to run vehicles no matter how nice the weather is outside at the time.
great video have one simple rule!!!!!!! always update everything on desktop laptop and phones and dont click on links or attachments from unknown senders always stay alerts online and yer fine and remember the number 1 security is you and yer updates not yer antimalware and anti virus tools and always be carfull of social engenering
37:45 does anyone noticed that she's in a fake video call???? hahahhaa, and she's talking to herself pretending that she's asking about lockbit haha, this makes me feel like some shots here are fake!!!!!!!!
I imagine it's not uncommon that programs like these record reenactments ("fakes") when the original footage doesn't look good or was too dark, too noisy, the people talked over each other, whatever.
They get paid to do it. It's the same with people on day time talk shows like the Fake Dr. Phil show, $30K is standard because who wants to humiliate themselves for less than that.
get ur money out of banks this is mainly the gov fault for forcing value on paper and metal rather than supporting free trade like food it would be more moral if these hackers stole from the high class rather than middle and low class ppl and then helped those in need like robin hood
I never get my money back and it happened all the time. All at once from many companies and banks. I truly think it is inside jobs. Not all in the companies. But quite many.
I wish Mariana will make a video about “hypnosis” mafia in an airports and hotels. Nobody talk about it, but it exists. I know people who became their victims, and have been a victim myself.
Some of those questions are wildly federal lmao, I get it's to elicit a shock from the audience, but "so how many guns are in this room" is such a blatant cop question 🤦♂
lol the guy just used Alfa antenna and WiFite on kali Linux to get the hash of the password used gpu to cracked it and there we go. My 8 years old kid can to that.

Always looking forward to any documentary by Mariana. She's just awesome and great at what she does.
Meee toooo!😊
I can't stand her no women should be around this type underground element, it's like she gets aroused by it
I am addicted to these Mariana documentaries, like literally.
She is courageous doing interviews with people like this. 😮
She is doing it for the same reason as those shmucks, for the money.
Mariana van Zeller is simply amazing.
Can we just appreciate how the nature themed national geographic channel has gone from nature to this?
I searched lockbit black and I'm getting literal chills.
At one point my mom had an experience with her identity being stolen. My mom had moved to another state. Once she got there ,she had tried to get a new license. They said she had to prove her identity as someone stole it and claimed she had died so they could collect the life insurance. It was a crazy lengthy process but she was finally able to clear all of it up. It took many steps but she was able to fix it all.
Happened to my mom too!! It took her years

Mariana gangsta journalist of all times. Big respect
Marianna Van Zeller is the best reporter! ❤❤❤
that statement is so profoundly frightening..."the good guys need to find everyhole in their cyber security, while the bad guys need to find just ONE"!!!
Omg this is amazing documentary on who and where our personal and private data goes to. Great job Natgeo
My journalist crush 😍 🇬🇲
Mariana The Brave❤
loooooove this show! huge respect for Mariana
Why don’t they erase my house loan and credit card debt. That would be helpful.
Oh boy do I love your comment!
For real!!!!
Be nice especially with a week or so heads up
That stuff probably gets better protected then atnt customer data

I crave for Mariana's documentaries everyday they are so Nice

Security agencies cant find the criminals but reporters always do Lol
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Lol so true never thought of that lol
Obtaining evidence for a conviction is not easy
agreed
There's a difference between finding them and getting enough evidence for convictions, warrants, etc.
Excellent documentary 💯👏
Mariana is one of the best journalist I've seen, I remember her from Vanguard and she definitely is brave and scrappy!
Woow woow wooow what a nother great story. This is better than any news or movie i ever watched. This is a wholl nother world. Thank you thank you thank you to you and your crew. Keep going and be safe
Grande Mariana! Incrível!
These journalist don't know that simply showing the view of the city from an apartment is enough to find where you are?
Or maybe they do know?
They don't care, but you can't blame them, blame the ones whose ego is so big they don't mind getting caught.
You are very brave. thank you🤩🤩🤩

Watching little ❤graphic eye 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I just had to check my back account after watching this video.
u should
and thats how they get you by logging in :D
This is the best one, Mariana!
just awesome
I'm studying cybersecurity now, seems like I've got a job guaranteed already. Shout ot to Mariana Van Zeller though, you do a great job!
Calm down Jessica...your not there yet.
21:27 i like how chubby holds the door, so guys can take the risk and go first in. But she will put the cuffs on. OMG
Kudos to this woman. But more importantly kudos to the gangs for the risk and balls 🔥🔥
Interesting documentary, love her interviews with criminals in the Trafficked series.

To be vouched for in the underworld is beyond gold.
Adventure ❤great ❤❤
I love this woman 😄
Can’t these hackers go after like super rich people like Joe Rogan lmao instead of poor middle class people
the wealth of the victim doesn't matter past a point. Having millions doesn't matter because you aren't going to be using and trying to access millions in transactions. The average person is just as viable a target as a "joe rogan" target, if not more preferred because of litigation.
11:20 🤔 Wondering if the Crips dripped in all red is meant to be a ruse for disguise...
Able an informant 💯
Tip: lock your cards when you’re not using them
Or just get text notifications to your phone when transactions are made. A good credit card company will reimburse you without hassle
@@drew4054 true but that’s only going to let you know after the scam is completed, locking your card will make it hard for them.
I don't think it matters when they can have your data
@@creatureofhavoc if you lock your card the data won’t give them the passcode. Data is just footsteps of where you digitally been. You would have to fall for a trap like log in to scammers WiFi or log in through email scammer sent pretending to be your bank
This is my biggest fear!!!😰
This poor lady 19:23
wow that was fun
awesome
Nerves of steel.
Mariana is the best.
amazing she can find all this criminals but the cops can't
It's wild that people are willing to essentially inform on themselves. This could be enough info to start an investigation.
they dont want to. besides, theyd have to tell on themselves.
She needs to investigate gang stalking. That is very real. Myself, mykids and my family have been victims to that!
So they're just randomly stalking you for no reason?? Or your friends or family are involved?
@@MF-kr4hf I've met many people who have had the same things happen to them. All have been single mothers with kids. That seems to be the common factor. I posted a story and found at least 5 other single mothers in my county who have been targeted.
yeah, myself and many, many people I know. I feel ya.
Great video.
You have to educate people since you have the ability to do public speaking and video production. :)

Carding fraud is perhaps the easiest fraud in the history of mankind. And because it's so easy, it will keep multiplying exponentially.
Great pic! I'm horrible at selfies 😊enjoying your videos ❤
Mariana,try sarmale next time you visit Romania lol
I'm scared lockbit will hack TH-cam and watch all those who commented and hold them for ransom 😅😂.
This is not funny, one of the best documentaries from @Mariana
Changing passwords right now
Its mind blowing that these criminals let them bring more attention to their illegal activity. It only makes it easier for the feds to crackdown on the tactics they use.
the feds already know about it, and unforunately, it does not make it any easier.
Maria courage is incredible🔥 but be careful all the same🙏🏽
Gotta have that buried treasure cuz.
great disguise for a big time hacker living in a dump.
If ur a real criminal there is no reason to film a documentary that hundreds of thousands/millions will see
Exactly 😅
There is if you are fairly sure of your anonymity and want to promote your brand/product.
"lockbit" sent that link to her for a reason. Its good for the public to know this software is out there, but now so does everyone who might want to buy it from him
But i bet she manages to pay the people who she interviews.
@@thechronic555 whatever she pays wouldn’t be enough for someone who makes real money illegally
Thats what im sayin
😢
marina chilling w the big dawgs, she’s hood certified
Why can't they just make $20mil appear in my account 😂
Do most of you people here in the world not realize this??? These shows and interviews are how the blackmarket advertises its businesses.
Thats why most of these types of people agree to talkng to her. shes mentioned in an interview on Joe rogans podcast that prestige and advertising are some of the main reasons ppl agree to be interviewed by her.
the thing is people LOOKING for this kind of software to use it, will probably find it anyway. The mass population doesnt even know most of this is going on. Its worth letting them get maybe slightly more clientele if it teaches millions of people about the dangers they face
@Benevolence_K Great comment! I agree.
Right after everybody’s ssn was stolen lol
I called to get a credit freeze for experian, TransUnion and equifax. Very easy!
Did the school had no backups?
Homegirl has nerves of steel.
EXCELLENT DOCUMENTARY!!

This is soooo annoying, scammers should not exist in the age of ai
An acquaintance of mine got stolen around 65k from his account, didn't get a penny back.
They would erase my credit card too
Ask him if his name is Sam. And if he works with Matt. =) I think I've been seeing them online for about 5 years . Yo FBI - those are the guys I told you about, on Steam, I think

You do realise lockbitsupp is locked up by the FBI? 😂
How will regular people protect themselves

abel seems like a snitch lol, hes on every episode
The number one question is what's in it for the hackers/traffickers/criminals/drug dealer? Why do they opt to talk or showcase their trade to Nat Geo?
Recognition 🥁💀🛅
They get paid to do it. It's the same with people on day time talk shows like the Fake Dr. Phil show, $30K is standard because who wants to humiliate themselves for less than that.
People love to brag and boast about their actions. Pretty stupid if they aren't trying to get busted.
For the flash!
Money bro Nothing is for free in this evil world
She's A STRONG WOMAN
Does anyone.else think its all actors and shot made to look good? Bc how does she get into these places a d meet thrse ppl
get ur money out of banks
this is mainly the gov fault for forcing value on paper and metal rather than supporting free trade like food
it would be more moral if these hackers stole from the high class rather than middle and low class ppl and then helped those in need like robin hood

I wish Mariana will make a video about “hypnosis” mafia in an airports and hotels. Nobody talk about it, but it exists. I know people who became their victims, and have been a victim myself.
I'm very curious to what that is.
@@suchizlife2812 Criminals using hypnosis on their victims. People lose control or fall asleep. Have to be very careful in a crowded places.
you needded to be in india for this show
ROMANIA CAPITAL OF CYBERCRIME 🇷🇴
Some of those questions are wildly federal lmao, I get it's to elicit a shock from the audience, but "so how many guns are in this room" is such a blatant cop question 🤦♂
Notice how she has never done rave drugs! K and MDMA are made in massive professional labs no way she would ever be granted entry😂
If she can find these people, why police can't?
Undersourced or lack of education. Take it from a cyber security student, btw lockbitsupp is locked up by the FBI
Why dont state just put ONE TIME PASSWORD security measures in all Credit/debit cards Like india? Whats stopping
😮😮😮😮
All the people wearing masks are the first people who will start talking.
👌🏻😼😎
Just made a 9k today, like that’s not very good. I think these guys are exaggerating. I may be wrong but I’d like to see the evidence
Hey National Geo - you published a doc that involves a reporter committing (by aiding and abetting) multiple crimes. What gives?
lol the guy just used Alfa antenna and WiFite on kali Linux to get the hash of the password used gpu to cracked it and there we go. My 8 years old kid can to that.
