How Soviets Hacked the US: Project Gunman

[@cybernews]

Hope you've enjoyed the video! Project Gunman is one piece of history we know of that shaped the US cyber operations into what they are today. Most of these operations are classified. Do you think the government should be more transparent about its hacking efforts?

No.. don't stop your AI news please I love it ❤️

Not with the general public. But the chain of oversight should be more prevalent. That helps with assuring the public that there are check and balances in place. That those measure are held to account.

[@Viviko]

I’m curious how many in these agencies, upon discovering they were compromised, were like “Holy F***” angry. And what percent of them were like “Holy F*** why didn’t we think of that?”.

[@dafoex]

I'd guess that a lot of them were the latter. After eating their own propaganda for years they'd be utterly gobsmacked that those backwards commies could engineer microelectronics while they were digging tunnels under the castle walls like it's the medieval period. Always assume your enemy has you out numbered, out gunned, and out classed in every intellectual field, even if they are backwards commies.

[@dafoex]

Oh, and on a historical note, that's where "undermined" comes from. You dig under the castle walls, set fire to your wooden supports, and wait for the walls to collapse under their own weight.

[@stooge389]

100% were both

[@andrebartels1690]

It's quite clever to listen to the normal activity of the typewriter instead of picking up a signal from the actual electronics. People weren't stupid over there. And people still aren't stupid.

[@thebleaki]

I mean, some people are stupid. (It's me, I'm stupid.)

Forget a typewriter. Modern tech can listen to a computer keyboard and make out what you're typing by the sounds of the keys.

I had heard about the Soviets bugging IBM Selectrics but didn’t know how we found out. Thanks for the story.

[@DalerMehndiDeekSheik]

I like keeping up with tech news, but these types of videos you do are by far my favorite! Truly fascinating and well presented.

[@arghmon]

Great content!

[@richardhyman6981]

Love the stories you guys are doing! Like the news bytes these things are short enough to want to watch and packed with enough info to make the brevity a pro instead of a con! Great job!

[@binksm689]

Great story! Definitely make more explainer videos like this. Love the history angle and love the on-screen Talent. The guy's great.

[@phils5423]

That was fantastic, the whole piece, the commentator everything.

[@Dave-nv5rv]

That's got to be a massive relief! It's so easy to get into trouble but incredibly hard and expensive to get out of it. I'm glad you're free man.

Bro keep it up,stop the AI thing its boring stay likee this :)

@@markmendoza1935 Bruh,you love the freaking AI talking about news,or A real W guy talking/making a video like this Choose one

[@HellHound___0]

I'd say for the daily cyber news the AI is fine but for documentaries it should be a normal human doing it

[@chinedumichael8776]

[@fpp]

agree

[@Powerful4u]

Very well made video. The editing is on point and the background music isn’t obnoxiously loud. Keep it up and you’ll blow up! Also, this format is way better than the AI stuff.

[@seanfernandez197]

Loved this video-super entertaining! It’s such a fun way to learn about the key historical events that shaped the evolution of cyber warfare and brought us to where we are today.

This is awesome. I had somehow never read about the bugged teletype machines. Would love to see more stuff like this

[@nord4471]

I never knew about this stuff. Sub'd to the channel

[@HESHUI-g9k]

The regrettable thing about this matter is that we have to hurt each other to get our own interests.

[@Jesse_Johnson]

This was killer. New to the channel. Regarding artificial intelligence, and narration. The issue I find is the sterility in the voice. Something in the way that it is recorded. Just causes me to lose interest really quickly. It’s missing a warmth that the human voice has. It’s not a digital replication issue, it’s the way our ears translate, the human voice. Regardless of whether is recorded digitally, and then brought to our speakers digitally. The fact that it was originally a human voice makes a huge difference.

[@seanburton5298]

Fascinating, yes keep it up.

Very faschinating - do you know anything about, how the Soviets powered these devices ? I have had heard stories about them using a sort of RFID technology to power these spy devices ?

They were doing sht like this in the 80s. Imagine what the governments do with the technology today

They been doing this longer than the 80s ,it's been in the military for longer than that !

Great content! please stop using the AI this is so much more fun to watch

[@dubby5768]

Spent the first 20 seconds of the video wondering if the narrator is an Ai or not. Idk yet still cuz I'm only 20 secs in but I'll have an answer at some point

[@dubby5768]

Okay he shows his face at 0:42(but only for a split second so I'm still not sure cuz it could be a deepfake

[@dubby5768]

Alright... 1:02 he shows his face for a bit longer. I'm just gonna trust that he's real, but it's still reluctantly.

[@dubby5768]

4:37. That face. Never seen an Ai do that. His voice has more emotions than an ai. And I also saw his hands (those could be edited in tho)... Also if you ever see a selfie and wonder if it's Ai, look at the ears. They always look wrong. His ears are human. Ai can't do ears or fingers, and sometimes shadows. It does hair pretty well.

[@AlienWarTycoon]

Yes this was definitely a notable cyber incident but it was in no way the beginning of anything. I think that you over dramatized that part of your narrative.
