I remember hearing about an interview YEARS ago, where they interviewed a hacker, and they asked him, if you wanted to crippe the US what would you go after (expecting the answer to be military etc) and the response was, Id go after the water. Dams, resevoirs, things like that. He was like you can cripple a country in days if they have no access to water.

[@KrissD41]

The people are too busy thinking of this is something simply just a story. I don't think half of the people that are watching this even remotely believe this s*** is or has been and still is happening to us today. That's the sad reality, but then again most of you people are supposed to be educated. I was not one of the lucky ones to be able to be so highly educated. I was in special Ed. I got cheated out of that but guess what? I still have my common sense. My critical thinking they didn't screw me out of that like they screwed all you so-called educated people out of yours and I have to say I would. Rather be standing next to another uneducated academically educated person. Like you guys then to be next to a person like me. Who's under educated in the academic world? Because you clearly lost yourself. Some critical thinking and some common sense. I know this because I work at a college and let me tell you. You people are dumber than boxes of freakin rocks, and you actually pay for your dumbing down. How smart do you feel now?

Doing cyber security in enterprise environments, my biggest fear is consumer electronics. It creates a mentality that you just go down to the store or go online and buy whatever the manipulative marketing seduces you to believe make you a happily addicted consumer, and then get it home and you'll be up and running in no time. ~~~ Executives come around and say "here look, I want this for everybody at work." Security people then say: "that's not enterprise-grade technology, and is a nightmare to manage from a security perspective." They say: "make it work anyway." So, we get our risk-management group to write up a risk acceptance document for the executives to sign and tell them to get ready to testify before congress. Unfortunately, not all corporations have risk management for cyber security, and some executives are going to be awfully surprised when they get a congressional subpoena.

We just had a ransom attack at 3 local hospitals, they are all part of the St Lawrence health system, it took out all the doctors offices that were part of that system too, I believe that they paid to have their systems back

This series is pretty well known by now and people who want to speak out about issues they're familiar with often contact journalists directly. So that's probably how many of the people speaking in this series were "found", too.

damn santa claus, thanks for the hack class

[@pvtparts90]

There was basically no point giving this dude a mask. Anybody that knows him even in passing is going to put together the beard, hair, viking sized body, body type, and arm tattoo in a glance.

[@ondraskalak]

well - anybody who knows him - i would assume he isnt exactly a celebrity , so only his workmates/friends/family /few extra would know and recongnize him . i think the point is none else can do a facesearch , to find his actual identity

[@agod5608]

Not his real body and the tattoo is fake, and so is the beard, and his voice is altered, and he is really taller the chair is hollowed out to make him look shorter....

[@fatalstyx3389]

"Viking sized" I think you meant Redditor size.

[@mofangei]

My little boi he is not the actual hacker he is a an acter to tell the story and they know that that stulid mask is not gonna do anything

[@KarstRats]

He’s putting that rat close to the camera. I think it’s a fake that he wants you to notice and grab hold of. So when he takes it off theres no possible way it’s him now.

From the beard alone you know he's an expert.

Scariest thing he's seen is his cholesterol levels.

Commenting about a person's cholesterol is probably the most ignorant insult known by mankind..

The way i see it is black hats are smart, white hackers either got caught or arnt good enough to be black hats and grey hats are hackers who have a moral compass but are smart.

lmfao exactly what you'd imagine a hacker would look like
