I Explored Ransomware Cybercrime on the Dark Web

[@cyatha]

I think I love the term "unscheduled security audit"

[@lancemarchetti8673]

I wouldn't recommend anyone just digging around on the dark web if you're inexperienced in the basics of anonymity, e.g, Whonix Tails.. Pfsense etc.

[@Apple_Beshy]

Tor is enough for surface dark web site, just don't do illegal things, if you want to be completely anonymous, don't use your main pc, and also use Tails, and btw vpn is not a SECURITY, also avoid using your own internet.

[@lumin0l161]

The greed of these people is wild... Guys with these sort of skills could of easily gone and gotten jobs as defenders and still earned a nice living for themselves without ruining business' livlihoods. Good to see you guys are out there keeping an eye on all this John. Great video.

[@MRJMXHD]

Without the bad guys, the defenders would have nothing to defend against. One can't exist without another.

[@Crown42]

What you have realized is that most of these people who are doing these attacks live in poor countries with few opportunities. Of course, most people who live in first-world countries with these skills would most likely just get jobs. However, the majority of these people are from Eastern Europe. So, they can't just find work like that. Also, they know that if they get caught they would not likely get extradited to the states.

[@khatritechnical3094]

thanks for this video john

[@PassionforSpace]

thanks for sharing and making this great informative video John,i am never bored watching and listening to you,i learn alot from your videos

[@faker-scambait]

Some people just don't care keep up the good work john love your videos. 👌👌

[@allanbahati1942]

Came here by accident, what an incredible video! So we’ll presented and insightful. Learnt a lot in under 30 minutes, thanks John!

[@mathesonstep]

This is very disturbing to see but thank you for doing this video, videos like this raise awareness

[@Sunrise-d819i2]

Ransomware of all kind is just pure evil.

[@el3ktraz-765]

Looks at a passport* : acts like he saw a dead body

[@SrCroqueta]

Video at x0.25 speed and stop at 7:36 , you should blur that again, I can see the full name and an IP address. Good video btw.

[@nordgaren2358]

Got it. Thank you! Should be done processing in a bit.

[@benjaminfphillips]

Looks cool but the site only gives you access to a demo database and you have to verify your identity and need a company with more than 5 users.

[@SuperWabo]

This is probably none of my business, but I can't help it. I'm curious. How much are you paid when marketing online services like this one?

[@Reelix]

A KZbinr will never tell you how much they make from paid marketing. The amount is often quite high (Potentially in the 6 figure mark), and they like portraying themselves as poor so people sub to their services.

[@tercmd]

Given he has a day job in security, and releases a decent number of videos a week, each sponsored video probably doesn't pay that much.

[@dom1310df]

If your company's revenue runs to 9 digits and your IT security is so bad that you've made it into this video I have no sympathy for you.

[@stefanso1242]

the excitement of finding your personal and professional stuff online for everyone to see 🤩🤑

[@stronglift1873]

Yeah its pretty cool actually. You can just download and look through all those files if you want, some of those files are very interesting.

[@MikeColorblind2369]

hmmmm. I like the interface of Flare... My company is looking for a paid TI solution to replace Recorded Future... Might try a PoC for Flare now.

[@chempa007]

You masked URLs in Flare, but while page is loading in browser it can be obtained ;) Great video of course, keep up with it ;)

[@nordgaren2358]

You got timestamps?

[@chempa007]

@@nordgaren2358 15:48 I would say is most significant one

[@tercmd]

1:22 / 2:22 the info here is visible for a second or two, so you'd want to blur that using KZbin Studio And the tor URL (bottom left) at some points like 16:53

[@nordgaren2358]

Thanks! Got them processing. KZbin takes a while sometimes, though :(

[@joefawcett2191]

"Get these victims out of my face" 🤣🤣🤣

[@KeithGriffiths]

John amazing video. I have signed up...😉

[@morriskanneh8960]

Thanks for the ransomware, my grandma dosen't have a chance now 😅😂

[@SumanRoy.official]

"Young People" LOLOLOLOLOL @ 11:06

[@CenterZero_DeadSecurity]

Your glasses reflects blue light, good choice, your eyes will thank you😂

[@MRJMXHD]

I always love these deep dives.

[@victorsolhof3576]

“Advanced Persistent Teenagers” 😂

[@Kattakam]

Thanks for helping in oco, love your vids.

[@Reelix]

It should be noted that vx-underground was against BianLian not because they went after a company helping children, but because they went after a company helping Russians.

[@luketurner314]

16:50 "With Love!" lmao

[@joefawcett2191]

Motivated by money and oppurtunity? So like a corporation?

[@hydradragonantivirus]

Yeh

[@dieSpinnt]

Oh yeah (around 15:41 ), ALPHV and the MGM casino (and others). Blackmailing the mafia has always been a very smart idea. I already know how this ends. So I mean for US: Definitely one of those Hollywood blockbuster gangster films. Win-win, right? Hehehe. Thanks for your video, the reporting and your thoughts on this, John!:)

[@Mdub_actual]

I’m still learning a lot from you bro

[@denniseriksen1240]

that flare dosent work for trail does it?

[@WatchDragon]

Would be interesting to make a dark web service that makes hackers and their families disappear

[@jeremiascardenas5058]

Muy bueno el video.

[@TheCamra17]

Any chance we can get these guys to Dox more CEO information for public knowledge? There's definitely people who will pay for that information for Deny Defend Depose purposes.....

[@natoreus]

Are you a target from APTs or other groups for the work that you do bringing things like this to life?

[@rayanea1783]

Anyone has a copy of help me exe video ? I missed it and it looks like it was deleted

[@Silver.Fox92]

Do not dwell in the depths of the Dark web. Especially if you are not experienced 😩

[@Optable]

We miss your malware analysis videos. Take notes from thehackerish, his content has been top notch bar none

[@NiteTerrors]

Can you investigate the MGM incident?

[@demotedc0der]

Yo John, have you heard of that fake winrar PoC exploit that drops VenomRAT malware?, what a crazy thing x_x

[@mrblueberry.]

If I view the source code of a potentially malicious websites, can the website harm my computer? I'm viewing the website using view-source:web address. I don't want to open it the way we normally do with normal websites. Please answer I asked the same question to gpt and it said - it is generally safe but maintain some coution. What do you think about it.

[@almatsumalmaadi8103]

Use virtual machine instead, that will be more and more secure and isolated from your physical computer.

[@mrblueberry.]

@@almatsumalmaadi8103 what do you think about the method i mentioned above

[@davidt01]

Viewing the source code only isn't going to do anything. It's no different than viewing the code of a malicious script.

[@excalibur2148]

does ransomwares exist for android ony? or they only for windows ?

[@Apple_Beshy]

All devices

[@ChairmanHehe]

i caved and tried to use the app this video is advertising and i cant even search without verification :( probably easier to build my own dark web indexer lol

[@nittani.]

I love you john

[@warlordkeys]

I love the content, and my fav part is "they'll tell you what to fix for future preference" aye we all can't be bad guys ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@syskey1402]

have you heard of payola

[@hydroponicgard]

The sole factor that some soulless pricks ransomed something to help the children just disgusts me... I really am hoping 3 letter boys get involved into shutting them down, this is beyond awful, dear God... Thank you on a great video, as per usual! That last bit genuinely surprised me tho. Christ...

[@duckyguy1147]

some leaks may be fake

[@ogbooker4538]

open bullet and silveer bullet config do a vid on
