This Is How Easy It Is To Get Hacked | VICE on HBO

Since the 2016 election, the notion of hacking has become inextricably intertwined with one country: Russia.
But cyber crimes emanating from Russia and Russian speaking countries have been around for years, fueling attacks like a 2014 data breach of more than 500 million Yahoo! accounts and a scheme that stole 160 million credit cards from American corporations.
"If someone wants to hack you, they're gonna be able to" former NSA hacker Patrick Wardle told VICE News. And if a Russian wants to hack you, they've certainly got the tools: A 2016 report by the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that 75 percent of all ransomware was created in Russia.
The apparent lack of ethical consideration in the buildup of Russian information technology and cyber security is rooted in decades of technical education under Stalin, who launched polytechnic schools to train engineers for his military-industrial complex. Russia's cyber capabilities can now be used for just about everything, ranging from digital bank robberies to tampering with critical infrastructure.
"This is the website of a big online store." Kostya, an anonymous Russian hacker who agreed to show VICE News how easy it is to steal digital data. "I can get into their configurations and download their client database."
Spurred by the trillions of dollars online and in a generation raised on the web, hacking from Russia and around the world is flourishing.
VICE News went to Moscow to see the country’s expert hackers in action.

さりん I think it has something to do with rivalry between parents and their children. I am a “millennial” and I tend to romanticize the generations that I only read about or watched movies about because in movies and books you can rarely truly see the whole picture. I tend to see men from the 1940’s as “brave & honorable” heroes and the women as “ladylike classy angels” ... but there are many details that movies will not show us, for example: There was heavy propaganda to shame men that did not want to enlist and also a bunch of violence/bigotry against women making a “helpless docile woman, the perfect movie character for those times”. I think boomers flaws are a product of their environment/parenting and socio economic situation while they grew up (getting a stable long term job was easier after the war, and now that they are retiring they truly do not care that much about the consequences of their past actions, and honesty there is little they can do now about it), the millennials have a completely different situation to live with. But then again, I guess boomers could also criticize their parents for having taken part of wars and the negative effects that conflicts can leave (for example boomers had to clean up the mess left after chemical warfare was done even several decades after conflicts ended etc...). I see it as: older generation drops a glass of milk and walks away... younger generation is left to clean it up. It can apply to several generations it only depends who you as about it. Our kids might complain about something wrong we are cluelessly doing now and so on.

[@mrhomebrew]

I could not agree with you more. Although I must say if the decision makers within the organization are willing to spend money on the IT department, they can provide training to the end users, maintain current copies of the OS/Software plus their current patches, and can also maintain proper backups. Sadly allot of organizations feel this is an unnecessary expense until they have been hit. For end users of personal home computers, and if this is a worry for you, I would suggest finding a good local IT guy that you trust for an hour a few times a year to make sure you are as protected as possible.

It's funny how the definition of "hacked" has changed in the past decade or so. "Hacking" used to be bypassing the security (eg. passwords) to gain unauthorised entry into a system/account. But in lots of cases, this is not how it happens. The scammer simply tricks you into giving out your password, download a file, install something etc. The weakest link is always the human being.

[@spenserhickssh]

I hated when I had Facebook and someone would post that their Facebook "got hacked". And their definition of being hacked was their husband or whatever picked up their phone and opened up Facebook and the profile was already logged in. So yeah people are too stupid to even know what hacking means.

[@Rt.hype646]

But that is hacking. All examples that you think changed the meaning of hacker are actually apart of hacking like social engineering, malware infection. The reason why it's different now then in the early 2000's is because modern systems are getting more secure then they were in the 80's you can't just do a sql injection, xss attack, or a php backdoor on a random site and have guarantee access its much harder in modern times

1:14 and i can stop laughing by the lack of tech knowledge of this cop department. It's insane how the ones who should protect ppl from getting hacked have no idea of what's going on.

[@dcquence]

Dude just puts htop on his screen to look more "hackery" during that interview LOL

[@gideongirigiri]

Song at 4:05 is Waltz No. 2 by Shostakovich. Just thought it was cool I recognized that.

thanks!!

"This is a new format of CTF competition" I fucking love these people.

[@AcheronLupus1]

If anyone is wondering, the hack at 6:59 is a file upload vulnerability in which php code is placed instead of an image, and then it is executed via a path traversal vulnerability, leading to remote code execution for the guy running Burp Suite.

[@shantanubharadwaj1849]

10:59 that’s the John sopinka court house in Hamilton Ontario!!!!

[@paralyzdtheory]

The problem with online security is that it's always a moving target.

[@AbNormalFitness]

So that scene from the social network movie was real 7:05

[@redfiree5062]

Yup, it's from a real event. Also Facebook hasn't confirmed if they actually did or did not organize these type of events early in their history.

[@Lee.Davis_onesandzeros]

Abnormalfitness do you really got abd like that in the picture?

[@dariadaria9255]

Watch mr.robot secret hacking events take place

[@latestsports-viralsportscl3971]

The girl on this show is a boss. She runs into some dangerous people and doesn't give a F**K. She just reportin bro, gone hard

[@cloudbloom]

Or she's just a reporter who took lots of precautions necessary to ensure her safety before filming those segments. She's not a "boss" or even a badass who's "gone hard" for taking those precautions. If she didn't, and the worst case scenario happened, this video would have never been uploaded. I appreciate the sentiment that she seems fearless while talking to potentially dangerous people, and she does hold herself together well, but there are many things going on behind the scenes to ensure her safety before she even meets with the people being interviewed, and those safety protocols include the camera operators, people in charge of the lighting and sound etc.

"ultra secure in here" also walks in with a camera

[@Phrancis5]

"Mr.Robot" is mostly real. Besides "remote crimes", plausible deniability when it comes to nation states hacking is a serious issue.

[@ericmalone1947]

Domo arigato, Mr. Brobotto.

[@lambro3001]

Damn they hacked her like a mission impossible movie 😂

[@hamzaabbas2711]

Thank you for this video very informative wow mashAllah mind blowing well it's always up to individual to decide what is good and bad

[@ShivamPanchbhai]

the interviewer didn't seem happy after getting hacked without her knowledge

[@jasona7029]

this makes me want to watch ghost in the shell again

[@williamk3240]

First problem was downloading the file from their email address. Could have been avoided there..... lol

[@SantoshGurbaniDesigner]

I have seen this happening in my previous company when one of the computer got hacked and we tried all what we could and failed. The only possibility was to loose all your data and do nothing. Because all files of computer were encrypted and you can't do anything beside paying for ransom. We didn't pay anything and just chilled by Formatting Computer.

[@namit7314]

God, you guys are doing an amazing job. Respect.

[@Mukeshmiktecrep]

How to avoid it, Hire the one who hacks and fire the one who was unable to prevent the hack.

[@PNWDroneGuy]

And then after you fire those hackers they're gonna hack your system for firing them...not really a good strategy there

[@Blackowl44]

Miktecrep don't use the Internet

[@jjc5475]

hiring hackers only works if you can trust them. otherways they have even easier access.

[@AR-dr1sb]

@ . . . . . .fire=kill them

[@skylermclane8527]

and this this video points out a lack of ethics within the hacking community, can you really trust any of them?

[@blue280485]

White Hats verses Black Hats, Bit War is the future of warfare, scary world we live in, Snowden is right!

[@vmunit2931]

I thought this was a T2 clip with Edward Furlong based on the small thumbnail image/video

[@aj-sz8mu]

this just reminded me of all my cyber security class nightmares.

[@hurricane3518]

why was it so bad?

[@aj-sz8mu]

@@hurricane3518 it pretty much showed me how easy it is to hack anyone close to me if i want to. All it takes is some malicious intent. At the same time showed me that if anyone has malicious intent against me. Its easy to hack me.

[@MrC0MPUT3R]

The word "hack" has no substantive meaning anymore.

[@johnames6430]

correct, you can do vegetable "hack" to cut your vegetables. Or "hack" your coffee by brewing at the perfect temperature. Today I learned a toilet hack for when I take a shit so it won't smell as much....first I flush right away as soon as I drop a deuce, then again after I wipe. Now if you want to get really high level with the hack you can keep some fabreeze in there and spray it BEFORE you sh-t.

[@dukeminster]

"IT Department suggested we pay the ransom" - great advice guys, how about do your backups and you'll be fine.

[@br2266]

We had complete access to you know, YOUR LAPTOP....
