Long story short, government thought they could screw him cuz he's poor but they didn't expect people online donating to his cause so he can defend himself in court
Americans hate poor people. Not the American government is at fault! All Americans democratically decided to employ a justice system that make poor people automatically guilty. And they call the rest of the Western world "communist" for pointing that out.

Excellent presentation of the story, the overview of how important white hats are for future security, and in a nice digestible piece. Thanks to those who made this!
"In outdated versions of windows.." You mean in versions of Windows that didn't have the patch the NSA told Microsoft to patch to cover the Vault 7 leaks.
Apparently, Microsoft didn't learn their lesson... "After January 14, 2020, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or support for PCs with Windows 7." Since there's a LOT of people who still are using Windows 7, you don't have to be a genius to predict how 2020 is going have a huge increase of malware.
@Соратник I also use Win7 for my games, and Linux for... a few things. Apparently, Linux made huge progress recently about gaming, especially with Steam who created a WINE Fork called Proton that can play most games on the platform, even if they are Windows Only.

Many of the judges (and juries) don't even fully understand all the working pieces behind the cases that they deal with, making really hard for a reasonable decision to be made
@Hecka Much Magazine I definitely agree with you on this, but it’s going to take a short while for the necessary societal changes to occur before these positive changes can be implemented into society correctly. Radical paradigm shifts require intensive preparation and foresight to correctly implement these types of changes, or it can negatively impact society just as much as the previous system, and potentially worse if it’s not handled with insightful care and planning.
@Hecka Much Magazine you are dead on with the subjective element impacting much of society, those with the persistent drive (will) to push for that change often resulting to the change that’s subjectively seen as good to them. Sincerity has becomes rare commodity, largely being the result of true sincerity involves individuals exposing themselves to their own vulnerabilities. Ahh, I was curious if you would mention God or the Holy Spirit. If you’re familiar with the Golden Rule, originally taught from Jesus ministry, during His time on earth; it was also referred to by Paul, which he described as being the foundation or the essence of the law. “For you, my brothers, were called to freedom; only do not let your freedom become an opportunity for the sinful nature (worldliness, selfishness), but through love serve and seek the best for one another. For the whole Law [concerning human relationships] is fulfilled in one precept, “Y OU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF [that is, you shall have an unselfish concern for others and do things for their benefit].” But if you bite and devour one another [in bickering and strife], watch out that you [along with your entire fellowship] are not consumed by one another.” Galatians 5:13-15 AMP www.bible.com/1588/gal.5.13-15.amp All sin and systemic issues within society are all derived from selfishness, or failure to implement the Golden Rule into the laws that are made. If the Golden Rule is utilized, it ultimately allows for laws to be instituted and enforced with true objectivity, thus nullifying the ability of clever attorneys the ability to conjure creative solutions to meet the subjective needs of their client.
@Anonymous City I work in IT so yes I understand all of that. I did not say it was in accurate or wrong I just said it was a classic line from that generation in the way they worded it. Which is an odd way to word what they are describing. I did not say it was correct, wrong, good or bad. So take your superior hat off and stop just chiming in on things to try and show some slither of knowledge you think you have that somebody else does not have.

So what i gathered from here was that the organization behind the Wannacry worm weren't pleased that Marcus found the way to stop the spread at that point, so they dig up his past and leak info about the fact that Marcus contributed to making the Kronos malware, which then reaches the FBI, and the FBI decides to make him a scapegoat cuz they didnt find the proper culprit behind the Kronos and Wannacry malware! Kudos to the judge for taking into account the whole scenario. Glad he did his job perfectly!
Stealing money with your genius Government: Spend 10 years in Prison... Big Banking: am I a joke to you Goverment: nah .... not your fault.... bad bank .... don't do this again .... slap on wrist.... Bad bank here is a bailout ....don't worry
Ofc man that called power, Solo guy can be punished, massive corporation holding billions of ur citizens currency its another deal, specialy into a worldwide open market with no overall agrements, allowing thoses entities to re-established themself somewhere else. And by doing it counter the punishment they would ve suffer from. Ur logic is not accurate to thoses importants factors. U can't see this as a basic 1 to 1 factor relaying One person to a bank. To be clear assault bankers after theyr subprime crisis would ve been the worst that we can do. As efficient as shooting someone canon facing urself. Most of our governments play it safe sneaky, the right way, listening to university eco specialists, the best move.
Um yeah it’s a bit more complicated than that dude... the banks received bail outs because in some cases they were literally hours away from collapse, which would have caused catastrophic damage to the global economy, far, far worse than the fairly mild recession that ultimately occurred. I can pretty much guarantee you that as bad as you may feel about the fact they got bailed out after causing the mess in the first place, you would be in a much worse position today if they didn’t.
Marcus, I was convicted in Federal court of Conspiracy to commit copyright infringement in one of the largest software piracy cases in history called Operation Bandwidth. The FBI, in its typical manner, came after me, even though when the Millennium Piracy act became law in 2000, I advised the cracking group I had founded years earlier, and had left, to disband and cease all activities. Because I didn't and wasn't willing to turn them in, I was indicted for conspiracy. Strangely, I was never arrested, and the indictment was actually just mailed to me. Several years later, I was convicted, given no prison time or fines and even the court costs were waived. The FBI and the government made an example of me as well, and today I am a federal felon who has lost the right to own a gun. Other than that, and the waste of my time, the conviction has had zero effect on my life. It was stressful, of course, but it certainly was not about justice or the law. It was just about publicity for the government and making an example to intimidate anyone else who might consider software piracy. The government spent a fortune of taxpayer money on the case and not one of the 21 people indicted in Operation Bandwidth spent a minute in prison. www.justice.gov/archive/criminal/cybercrime/press-releases/2002/bandwidth.htm (BTW, the government even spelled my name wrong.)
I believe all people have the capability to change. The person I am today is very different from the person I was last year. Glad that he learned his lesson. Sometimes we need everything to go wrong so that we can grow from it.
I watched an interview from someone I follow and followed a link tonthis documentary. I'm glad I did. A very impressive young man and a very interesting story.
Posting individuals adresses anywhere to the public without their consent (not including small friendgroups and familys abviously) should always be made illegal. Imagine someone posting you adress name etc online and you suddenly get send a lot of shit you didnt order and are pressed to pay them.
I would sure like to know: 1.) The age at which MH sold his malware, 2.) The location (country) of MH and the buyer at that time, and 3.) How US law got any jurisdiction on the matter. Remember, lack of jurisdiction can be noticed at ANY time. Also remember, the FBI as a whole can be a tendentious asshole.
If another "Wannacry" situation happens and somebody had the answer to fix it, they would be too scared to do so because the damn FBI will ruin you even though you've changed and can make the world a better place.
Maybe...like a scientists who create a virus and create an antidote at the same time...sale it as a medicine for a millions dollar after spread the virus like H1n1...its the same method but different type of virus...How can a hacker.community afford to pay a bail 30k just like that??donation among a hackers are from a hacking the done..obviously
The fact that the FBI / CIA / NSA couldn't figure this out should tell you what you need to know about our security apparatus. Instead they focus on politicizing every aspect of their duty, eventually becoming criminals in themselves.
I’m still amazed at the fact people do not back up their stuff. Sure, it used to be a massive pain in the arse, but with so many secure cloud storage solutions, it’s amazing people’s hard drives are still so crammed with critical things...

As promised, even under subpoena, they could produce nothing that would identify or incriminate their customers. You can even pay them in crypto or gift cards.
Hackers tipped them off to f with him as payback for working against their fellows that made wannacry or for changing his colors (aka. selling out) or both.

@@egonkirchof guess u are referring to urself lmao
@@egonkirchof so why you still talking 😂😂 Damn your life must be sad, nobody asked you to comment on my comment.
🙄 Grow up.
What a great story, being from the UK I remember the attack on our NHS, nice to see the kid who sorted it.
Did he sort it tho? Or was he apart of starting it, he found that domain way to easy, he's known for trying to social engineer banking details off people so he can empty their account (he makes out the banking malware he made was nothing, it wasn't nothing because it went quiet big in the hacking world and everyone was using it, so no thanks to him many of people got thier bank account emptied
"Hey, so can you show us how you would start hacking someone. We want to get cool footage."
Marcus pulls up a text editor and a single terminal.
Filmakers: o_O
Result: 4:00
Don't forget cool wallpaper on other monitor...
Dave Guerrero enter the matrix lol
Filmmakers blown away: fucking hell mate calm down, don't do it again
htop on the left and nano on the right with a random markup file and BAM you're hacking
Uh that could be 6 instances of Wireshark running ya know.
I am laughing so hard that DeviantOllam is randomly there at 23:51 (and one pic before). I recently discovered him and have no idea why he's there but that makes me laugh so hard since he's known for "being places that he should not be" haha.
Deviant Ollam and his wife were the ones who paid bail for him and found him a place to live.
I'm glad someone else saw deviant thought i was going batty or i should say crazier great job olam salute to Hitchcock
This is one of the phenomenal videos related to Wannacry till date. Would love more like this.
I want to know where my hackers our on
Our they on
"Spreads through outdated Windows"
Hospitals: laughs
*I'm in trouble*
All thanks to that one good judge with a broad way Perspective, finally Marcus can be free♥️
15:30 "After his release from "jail" NOT "prison". Huge difference. You can't go to prison BEFORE losing at trial.
Guantanamo ?
@@P3C0L4 Guantanamo Bay's a detention camp not a prison.
i am watching this story in 2023, and i cried for you man! you saved millions of people but the government put you in jail only for past mistake.
I remember this like it was yesterday. Even donated.
Lifelabs in Ontario just got shut down due to wannacry lol its still very real and alive.
Such a likeable guy that made some mistakes and long ago turned towards a life of immensely more good than harm...a judge with the wisdom to know truth and justice.
i thought i recognized that guy in the background at 24:01
thats deviant ollam from a video i saw last week about breaking into buildings and stuff
Love that judge. Pls let the world have more judges like him and more ppl like Marcus. ❤️
I love this guy's smile. It makes me wannacry.
Ha ha ha your funny
@@michellesmith5779 his funny wot?
If you are a hacker and your heart is good and in the right place to help the innocent I applaud you and I am envious of your skills!!!
This would be an amazing movie!
An excellent documentary which narrates the whole journey of saying by Greg Hartle, " your temporary circumstances do not have to become your permanent reality".
*Seriously! Holywood should make this into a movie. Great story with a happy ending.*
th-cam.com/video/6w3wr691uss/w-d-xo.html this basically is the movie
@@aidancanoli it's a private video, can u tell me the title?
In jail in the US. Makes a call on a 1990s BT payphone. I guess the producers never figured a bunch of phone phreaks would be watching...
and the domain was later sold on godaddy 3 days later for $811 xD
Wonderful documentary and many thanks to the filmmakers!
This documentary is gonna be tight.
that judge was about to say " With great power comes great responsibility"
Sudo 😂😂😂
This young man GOT VERY LUCKY in having a judge who understood the whole picture... Unfortunately the USA is in the business of putting good people who make a single mistake in PRISON... (I Know Personally)... I am so glad this young mans life was not ended w/ a 20 yr sentence and he is able to serve w/ the white hat hackers that protects our cyber society . Many blessings , SMR
@@TheSmreeder He is 100% open and honest about all he had/has done in his past, and present life. A great individual.
I just read a great article about this guy in Wired, hadn't heard of him before.
I read it as well🤣🤣
I wanted to read it but got hit with a subscription banner
@@Rctdcttecededtef Really? I'm not subscribed.
@@evandempsey7613 Theres a limit on how many articles you can read before you get hit with a subscription banner
@@Rctdcttecededtef That's too bad, it was a really good story. If you ever get the chance you should definitely read it.
The rare occasion of a TH-cam ad leading to decent content
```Quality documentary,i love it.```
I had a chat with Marcus a year ago. Great chap and learned a ton
Thanks for sharing @Ben Mack!
been waiting for this! lets go!
So what i gathered from here was that the organization behind the Wannacry worm weren't pleased that Marcus found the way to stop the spread at that point, so they dig up his past and leak info about the fact that Marcus contributed to making the Kronos malware, which then reaches the FBI, and the FBI decides to make him a scapegoat cuz they didnt find the proper culprit behind the Kronos and Wannacry malware! Kudos to the judge for taking into account the whole scenario. Glad he did his job perfectly!
NHS wasn't targeted specifically, but they made all of the IT staff redundant... Who knew it would come back to bite them.
This brought back some Aaron Swartz vibes for me. Glad it had a better outcome and we didn’t lose another of our great minds.
I really enjoyed this. Keep up the good work!
It's silly to see that despite having the truth, if you don't have the funds to "prove" them in court, then youre guilty. Love it
Legit man
Does the US have some kind of "free lawyer"?
@@aiosquadron we call them public defenders and often there's a reason they're free.
Stealing money with your genius
Government: Spend 10 years in Prison...
Big Banking: am I a joke to you
Goverment: nah .... not your fault.... bad bank .... don't do this again .... slap on wrist....
Bad bank here is a bailout ....don't worry
Ofc man that called power, Solo guy can be punished, massive corporation holding billions of ur citizens currency its another deal, specialy into a worldwide open market with no overall agrements, allowing thoses entities to re-established themself somewhere else. And by doing it counter the punishment they would ve suffer from. Ur logic is not accurate to thoses importants factors. U can't see this as a basic 1 to 1 factor relaying One person to a bank.
To be clear assault bankers after theyr subprime crisis would ve been the worst that we can do.
As efficient as shooting someone canon facing urself.
Most of our governments play it safe sneaky, the right way, listening to university eco specialists, the best move.
Um yeah it’s a bit more complicated than that dude... the banks received bail outs because in some cases they were literally hours away from collapse, which would have caused catastrophic damage to the global economy, far, far worse than the fairly mild recession that ultimately occurred.
I can pretty much guarantee you that as bad as you may feel about the fact they got bailed out after causing the mess in the first place, you would be in a much worse position today if they didn’t.
We need more of hacker:HUNTER ☺️
5 o'clock tuesday morning having a nice sour diesel and coffee in fabulous PUERTO RICO enjoying the vid thank you
Marcus, I was convicted in Federal court of Conspiracy to commit copyright infringement in one of the largest software piracy cases in history called Operation Bandwidth. The FBI, in its typical manner, came after me, even though when the Millennium Piracy act became law in 2000, I advised the cracking group I had founded years earlier, and had left, to disband and cease all activities. Because I didn't and wasn't willing to turn them in, I was indicted for conspiracy. Strangely, I was never arrested, and the indictment was actually just mailed to me. Several years later, I was convicted, given no prison time or fines and even the court costs were waived. The FBI and the government made an example of me as well, and today I am a federal felon who has lost the right to own a gun. Other than that, and the waste of my time, the conviction has had zero effect on my life. It was stressful, of course, but it certainly was not about justice or the law. It was just about publicity for the government and making an example to intimidate anyone else who might consider software piracy. The government spent a fortune of taxpayer money on the case and not one of the 21 people indicted in Operation Bandwidth spent a minute in prison. www.justice.gov/archive/criminal/cybercrime/press-releases/2002/bandwidth.htm (BTW, the government even spelled my name wrong.)
This kinda reminds to of Alan Turing. Helped in a critical part of the history of mankind with technology, ends up disposed
This story is so multi-tiered, it could be fascinating just for that reason, but there is so much more as well.
The main story here is why are Hospitals running outdated versions of windows whilst storing vital data about us
If I remember correctly, it's because Wannacry outdated your version automatically.. that's why he wanted everyone to upgrade their versions.
THIS right here! Where's your cybersecurity audit certificate?
The main story here is, why are hospitals running Windows. FTFY
Use Linux and don't install sketchy packages
@Mr. Box but the issue here windows xp source code got leaked so it only get worse from here out until they start updating their systems
Sideshow Bob turns a new leaf and uses his powers for good.
Makes me so teary I might wannacry.
Setting a precedent to try someone for making a dangerous item but another that uses said item for harm.
Probably my favorite part of this documentary is the Deviant photo bomb at 23:52. Fantastic!!
Umm, am I the only one who finds him to be so cute?
he is really fucking cute! if he was gay i'd go for it ngl
Hip to Waste his humility and genuineness add to his attractive presence and super smile. Agree. What a hunk.
Yes
I believe all people have the capability to change. The person I am today is very different from the person I was last year. Glad that he learned his lesson. Sometimes we need everything to go wrong so that we can grow from it.
how did he walk out of that court room with a straight face, I would be in tears for sure
I watched an interview from someone I follow and followed a link tonthis documentary. I'm glad I did. A very impressive young man and a very interesting story.
Thanks for viewing 📽️ @richardshalla!
2017 - Wannacry virus
2020 - Corona virus
Haha
Posting individuals adresses anywhere to the public without their consent (not including small friendgroups and familys abviously) should always be made illegal. Imagine someone posting you adress name etc online and you suddenly get send a lot of shit you didnt order and are pressed to pay them.
I would sure like to know:
1.) The age at which MH sold his malware,
2.) The location (country) of MH and the buyer at that time, and
3.) How US law got any jurisdiction on the matter.
Remember, lack of jurisdiction can be noticed at ANY time.
Also remember, the FBI as a whole can be a tendentious asshole.
If another "Wannacry" situation happens and somebody had the answer to fix it, they would be too scared to do so because the damn FBI will ruin you even though you've changed and can make the world a better place.
How did you squeeze this into 25 mins?!
Great documentary. Great judge. Thank you Marcus :)
Me too..thank you channel
Marcus Hutchins and Edward Snowden, are certified, god tier, heroes.
Plot Twist: He created wannacry.
He sold the code to the wannacry hackers.
Well... He sure inspired them.
Pssst. Dont say that on the internet. He is watching you
Maybe...like a scientists who create a virus and create an antidote at the same time...sale it as a medicine for a millions dollar after spread the virus like H1n1...its the same method but different type of virus...How can a hacker.community afford to pay a bail 30k just like that??donation among a hackers are from a hacking the done..obviously
🙄 Grow up.
@@silentkillerhambaallah1216 Better stop drinking water I hear fluoride rots your insides
The fact that the FBI / CIA / NSA couldn't figure this out should tell you what you need to know about our security apparatus.
Instead they focus on politicizing every aspect of their duty, eventually becoming criminals in themselves.
Why shut down any Emergency services who ever created the wanna cry script could have killed someone
I think that was the idea
The doctors and nurses would have been in such a rush to get the system back online, theyd be okay spending a few thousand
I’m still amazed at the fact people do not back up their stuff. Sure, it used to be a massive pain in the arse, but with so many secure cloud storage solutions, it’s amazing people’s hard drives are still so crammed with critical things...
"Judge took a broad picture" - he did what he was told to do, "released" Marcus, under condition that he'll work for U.S.
He was already working for a US security firm.
"Some people is afraid of the environment, to the point of picking up a random tech-guy and addressing him all of their failures entries..." 🗨😏🌐💦🗺
3:47
the stuff going on on his screen with all that coloured text passing by at the speed it cannot be even read is so fake and so cliche, in every action movie about viruses and hackers you can see almost the same crap
So?
It's for b-roll, what did you expect?
Yeah well.. Drama. Also, the CBP agent had on body armor. Lolwut. Why do you need body armor for an interview where you're basically hanging out in the office all day?
@@130rne they detained him in the airport, anyone could he carrying a gun there even he himself
Your comment is so stupid it's like saying because I only download shit I know I shouldn't have an antivirus
Yeah first thing I do when writing code is open up a terminal with htop to make sure my super sonic typing speed can be handled by my cpu
Great video and production. Loved it!
So I am curious how they found out about the code transaction in his past. Someone might have sold that information I guess?
i thought the same thing, this shitty documentary left more questions instead of answers.
Because government agencies keep 'people of interest' lists that are huge, and automatically monitored. Take a proper look into what Edward Snowden blew the whistle on.
Online privacy is a thin veil of bullshit, and VPNs while useful, are not a silver bullet.
@@literate-aside vpn has higher chance of selling your imformation than your isp soo it depends which one
@@kacperukaszewicz3034 Of course, a VPN just shifts the burden of trust from the ISP to your VPN. Wasn't really the point I was making though.
There *are* those that seem viable; PIA has had their 'no logs' policy tested in a court of law, twice. As promised, even under subpoena, they could produce nothing that would identify or incriminate their customers. You can even pay them in crypto or gift cards.
Hackers tipped them off to f with him as payback for working against their fellows that made wannacry or for changing his colors (aka. selling out) or both.
Impressive production values. Underrated channel??
14:25 damn his initial lawyer was pretty bangin’
Knowing that I won't be able to hit on girls like that makes me wannacry
This was great on many levels - excellent work!
Glad you liked it!
that deviant ollam guy gets everywhere haha
lol legend
I mean... afterall: that is literally his job.
I prayed for this man since this started I'm so happy he is free!!
FBI went in for a layup and GOT REJECTED INTO THE 5TH ROW!
Yep, the Federal Bureau of Idiots got deepthroated.
I love how the community helped him it's à very Nice move
