Operation Aurora | HACKING GOOGLE | Documentary EP000

HACKING GOOGLE - what happens when a country attacks a company? In 2009, Google found out and cybersecurity was never the same again.
An inside look at the historic attack where Google’s network was breached by a foreign government trying to access the Gmail accounts of human rights activists. In the wake of the breach, Google revolutionized its approach to security - overhauling everything and developing highly specialized teams of elite experts to stay ahead of the ever-evolving threat landscape.

As a cybersecurity student, this video is great motivation! Love it!

[@mehad9885]

What program you learning I wanna get started in cyber security

[@hcandg]

don't stop, it'll be hard, but we need as many of you as possible in the space (google or not)

[@RohithCyberspaceCanada]

mee too

[@nmishal001]

exactly bro i was getting goosebumps all time they mentioned the issues 😆

[@senna_william]

The audio design was on point! Congratulations to the editing team.

[@mr.mustache4743]

I know, right.

[@wishkarma2]

Amazing story telling as well.

[@lyte69]

The audio was insane and I had goosebumps thrice in this video, huge props to the editing team indeed!

[@samplayzyt8767]

they are a multi billion dollar company i would hope its great

[@jimschips254]

It reminds me of Vox editing

[@chizzyjames]

This is why I love motion design. It supports the story by 150%

[@jasonjoyride2481]

This doc deserves some awards. The christmas theme being used with the CGI of Google cleansing the hack from their network? The LED wall? This is so well done.

[@tvre0]

bet they had a low budget, seems like a pretty small company

Props to the animators editors , sound , team on this video and every employee in Google.

the graphics, sound, editing, the whole production is insane 🤯

for anyone wondering, the first violin piece you hear at the beginning is the Bruch Violin Concerto No.1 in G Minor, op.26

shout out to the edit team, animation team, sound effect team, and every one who dedicates themselves to this episode. AMAZING WORK

[@checkma8s]

Is it you

[@tarang65]

Captivating storytelling with superb quality production

[@AuthenTech]

Such impressive production quality on this. 👌

[@lyte69]

holy goosebumps, the 10:38 aurora introduction scene had me on goosebumps.

[@justkiddieng6317]

The editing is like scenes on the game and also the voice of narrator and they way she narrate, very familiar. Wow this series is so good.

[@shankysays]

I love how episodes start from 0 and not 1.

[@shhdev]

They are still programmers, and start thinking by 0.

[@dannyp204]

This is why I wanted to go to college for Cyber Security. Instead I went for a general Computer Science degree. I dropped out at the end of 2020 and joined the Navy trying to go for the rate CTN. They didn't have it available at the time, so I took IT. Can't wait to try and get into cyber security still in the future.

[@Rikorage]

Summer did a great job narrating. Jerry and Beths would be proud.

[@Thijs___]

Hahaha I was searching for this comment.

Amazing, engaging and inspiring. The team at Google is incredible, I'm confident in their abilities to make Google safer. The editing is top notch 👌 👏

[@TheStringBreaker]

*The motion design is simply phenomenal!*

[@skeletonboxers7336]

i recently graduated with my degree in CS, my job on campus as an "research assistant" actually ended up protecting my campus's infrastructure from cyber attacks. it was honestly eye opening how many attacks we would uncover ended up being from china/russia. proud to have helped my campus get by without a hitch, i miss the adrenaline rush of uncovering compromised hardware on our systems. and it'd be awesome to get a job at a larger company doing that or software developing with protecting software with that in mind.

[@mattgamei5vods649]

that's awesome, must be amazing knowing that you saved several important systems :]

[@LyrLobo]

Great opening to an important series on cybersecurity threats and responses. We are all responsible for security.

[@eanlopez8128]

yes agreed good observation lyr we are glad to have you

[@kylewalker4641]

2:45 One of the cleanest transitions I’ve seen

[@JohnnyMcMenamin]

For some more terrific history of computers I highly recommend "Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution" by Steven Levy.

[@detishasmall630]

As my three year old would say , its just beautiful . Its amazing to see how it all happens to come together .

[@newmonengineering]

I remember being a hacker late 80s early 90s. I should have joined security instead of programming, oh well. It was fun to hack for a bit. Luckily I never got caught, but I didn't do it to harm anything either. It was more of a study on how computers respond. It is a rush to get in and look around a bit. This brings back memories. Long live the pink shirt book, if you know you know.

[@ScorpionXXXVII]

Very similar. Was a "hacker" in the early 90's. Mostly just for fun and seeing what was possible. Went to school for computer science and got my BS. Now I'm a carpenter :) Programming just wasn't for me like I thought it would be.

[@waynehill2746]

Real bit flippers never lose their skill. You either are or you aren't.

[@dobermanlove777]

@@ScorpionXXXVII I am interested in what you mean by "wasn't for me like i thought it would be." ? Do you mind to elaborate on that? If you dont want to do it here, we can also have a chat.

[@djamparo6636]

@@murtazafakhry2955 Its more a lifestyle rather than "thing", as you need to always be curious and wanting to sail ik a different direction then what youve learned. For me, before I started to learn exploiting systems for their intended use, social engineering was my way to go. I remember that a friend and myself, got a free boat trip as we knew how to persuade them with things as of we belong there. We did this by simply doing some superficial recon online. But if you really want to start somewhere: TryHackMe is a good site, or HackTheBox. And its useful to know the basics of coding, start with pyhton as this the easiest one to learn, then switch to web languages like JavaScript, php, as it is a very common entry into the system

[@farid-frederick]

@@murtazafakhry2955 maybe starting with hack old websites...

[@nicoleum5749]

I got goosebumps watching this... production quality and the way the google security team handled the attack, this is insane

[@m.hjabbari1563]

i think google has to start making movies, seriously. it's amazing and really high quality ♥

[@Rhys_Beer]

Kind of wish there was a more technical episode with the same story it would be super interesting.

[@geegurl25]

This is the most interesting ad I’ve EVER seen. I watched all 18+ minutes of it (before the video I THOUGHT I wanted to see), and was entranced!

[@abdiazizomarhassanyalahow2717]

This is why i want to be a cybersecurity engineer, these series are exciting, thanks google.

[@Miglen]

This is so epicly done!

[@PROG-MAN]

The voxel-style animations are sick!

[@TheAlbaniaGaming]

Made me tear up, as a Computer Engineering student, from a smaller country such as Albania, it seems like a dream to be able to work at a company such as Google. Amazing video!

[@alphabee8171]

I got goosebumps, i understand the size of operation but it's hard when you are not present in war room to understand the scale. Whatever google decides to do, they do it the best.

[@GloriaMorrisondreamstreeet]

This is an amazing surprise to see this morning I couldnt stop watching this even if there was a fire all around me! What a well made... great information ... truly amazing for anyone to understand how it all happened and how the amazing team at Google worked to solve it... gave me great relief to see that they could figure out the enemy.

[@ninestories2]

Thank you for the excellent captions! 🖤

[@saivineethks63]

This is the most coolest corporate branding/marketing/awareness video I have ever seen.

[@RebekahSue]

Fascinating. I'm neither a programmer nor a security expert. I am a Chrome user. War against Google became war on us all. I love that the information was shared with us in this manner, and I'll be following the series. I will not, however, be following any links responding to my comment, so don't bother.

[@4GENS]

The fact it took all of these professionals is crazy

[@alih.3128]

This is gotta be one of the best short documentaries i've ever seen

[@0xatul]

The storytelling, the visuals, the graphics, the sound mixing was on point.

As someone who just started getting into some of this security stuffs at my job, this really is amazing to see, as well as to see a dedication to a job people love. Also, while pointing out newly learned info, friends of mine thought I was hacking, when I was just showing a website's network information (api calls and such). It showed me that they really do go hand in hand.
