How Some Of The World’s Famous Hackers Got Caught

In this video, we’ll show you how some of the world’s famous hackers got caught (simply because they didn’t follow the most basic cyber security protocols). In particular, we cover the case of Jeremy Hammond, whose weak password landed him ten years in prison.
You’ll also learn just how much of your personal data is stored within one photo - and what you can do about it.
Plus, we’ll show you why you should never leave your laptop unattended.
Enjoy!

It makes me wonder how much would be enough to make the people who were harmed in such events to cause the kinds of tragedies terrorists do. I mean, it seems to me the police, or at least the intelligence agencies, are trying to test out exactly that, through each action taken because of them or not because of them. And the saddest part is that such actions are so viral that 2-3 such events happening in a row could cause a level of domestic terrorism rarely seen by the west, and it would be perfectly justified, even if illegal. In fact, the whole plandemic might be exactly what prevented such a thing from happening, all things considered.

@@SapioiT Thank god I'm living in a civilized Country, where Policemen actually need to have proper training, where Policemen will draw Weapons ONLY as a LAST Resort, when anything else fails, where you can simply live your fucking life without having to fear to get Shot, when you see a Police Car and have the "wrong" Skin Color. There has been Police Violence here as well, especially on Demonstrations. And everytime it happens, there will be a big outcry. Rightfully so. But I gotta say, the worst Police Behaviour we might see here, is fairly standard pracitce over there. I was on Vaccation in the US once for 2 weeks, and got threatened with a fucking Gun. Needless to say, I was unarmed and whiter then a slice of Bread. If any Policemen here would point a Gun to a Person, you can be sure AF they'd loose their Jobs immeditaly, if they didn't have a damn fucking good Reason to point a gun.

In a previous video I've gushed about your production quality but now I want to share my appreciation for your focus on educational content instead of manipulating us into buying something. It is so refreshing to see a channel that doesn't push sponsored products. Man, even your description box puts content that's actually relevant to the video at the very top instead of plugging affiliated links, sponsorship, your other uploads, etc. This really gives your channel a lot of credibility. I also appreciate that you don't hide the fact that you're a company but at the same time you avoid advertising your services. You respect your viewers enough to allow *their* curiosity and interests determine whether or not they want to learn more about Sumsub. Please continue your amazing work; you're providing such valuable information *and* setting an amazing example for other KZbinrs.

Facebook and Instagram actually strip EXIF data from images, copy it to their their own private database, and replace it with custom hashes or something. Otherwise, most Facebook/Instagram pages would be broadcasting exact location data of the owner.

I feel like the last story of Dread Pirate Roberts had a lot left out. The FBI knew he was logged onto the Silk Road because they had convinced someone he was close to to work for them, allowing them to know when he was logged in. Not only that, but how they discovered who they needed to catch was because he used the same account names when advertising the silk road as well as asking for technical expertise about anonymous transfer of money. All in all though, great content, but sucks that so much was left out.
