Even though everyone I show my password says it's pretty strong, I get hacked a lot.
Me too!
@@notsam498 Brother he's joking. He gets hacked because he's showing people his password...
it took me way too long to understand your joke, lol
😂
Can you have them check mine, and let me know what they think? It's "Password123" thanks in advance
I love the Netherlands the fact that they have they have a program to mentor young hacker to put them on the right path is freaking awesome
Putting them on the right path is just having them work for the government which isnt the right path. I guess its smart though.
@jaydwy8069 why is it not the right path? What would be a good path
@@theunluckycharm9637 anything other than working for a government that has nothing but contempt for the people it's supposed to be serving.
@@theunluckycharm9637 how about not trying to sabotage an election and violating the constitution?
@theunluckycharm9637 a good path would be not going to jail
Good rule:
When a website gives you a series of challenge questions, treat them as Passwords and fill them with stuff only you would be able to answer. (Since I use a password manager that allows you to save these questions, I simply generate passwords for them)
First time I encountered those I had to get my password reset because I did not realize that specific punctuation used is important. They don't tell you that it is just a crappy password.
@@jamesphillips2285
Not only is it a crappy password, if you follow their example and actually put your 1st elementary school in there, it's information that many of these data brokers have in their database ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Always. The only common “challenge” that is pretty safe to be real with is “first childhood pet” being that it couldn’t be found by digging through personal records. Damn near every other one is information that’s so easy to track down
What password manager do you use? That sounds pretty convenient

Social media is the number one curse of our times. The best way to protect yourself online is to not use it at all.
Also don't have a cellphone, bank cards, or ss# and live in the woods.
@@michaeljfigueroa this is the way
Facts!
Facebook, RUclips, and TikTok are examples of _poorly implemented_ Social Media technology.
Perhaps a better description of them is that they are _purposefully manipulative and deceptive_ implementations of Social Media technology. It was the conscious decision of Managers at Facebook who took gambling psychology lessons and _deliberately integrated those psychological hooks_ into Facebook's technology that gave that implementation its negative ethical and moral weight. The tech itself lacks any moral or ethical weight. Only the human's intent and implementation provides that.
Consider one technology: it can either be a boost or an augment to human existence and advancement, or implemented and applied in a different manner with a malicious human intent it can cause great societal harm or at least hold people back or down. Same tech; two very different outcomes. The manner of implementation based on the intent of the human designer decides.
Amazing content jack! I always catch the late night/ start of day post . And it always feels like a midnight snack... Love this show. TOP TIER. This "golden era of radio" style is so needed.
...."golden era of radio" style is so needed.
Even when a universal biometric-based government id is required to use the internet, people are still going to get pwned
More, less or the same?
People still say pwned?
@@L_Train more, less or the same?
dont trust the gov.
not happening bro, but I agree with u.
I'd rather go back to usenet than use some kind of internet that requires ID
Jack love your work.
Your my favorite story teller right now. Keep up the good work.
Excellent story teller! One of the best! When a new Darker drops, I drop everything to stop and listen!
agree its my go to background while doing other things
Damn, I was just about to go to sleep. I'm sure I won't regret 50 mins tomorrow at work, right? Right?
Trump is the same as our grandparents when it comes to technology. Totally oblivious to security.
One time I found someone's dox in a list, complete with credit card information , bank information, etc etc.... i tried to be a nice guy and tracked then down and warned them, even gave them a cut and paste of the info... they freaked out and started accusing me of being the person who compiled there info, threatened to have the authorities come after me.... I never tried to be the nice guy again.
Ill never get over how good the intro song is its chilling when it kicks in after the intro and fits the mood perfectly
People also use bad passwords for things they don't trust and don't care to protect.
the venn diagram for “dont care about” and “important” looks awfully like a circle.
Wow, had to listen 3 times to make sure, 14:17 700 thousand user passwords were 123456, thats incredible literally, love your videos Jack, gg
If they put an ! At he end it would of been Impenetrable 😂
Early crew. I meant to comment immediately, and got distracted. Haha. I saw it 17 minutes after posted.
The problem with hacking the accounts of extremely high profile political or business figures is the very real potential of stumbling across something which is hazardous to your health.
Those things shouldnt be on a socialmedia platform.
@@einhalbesbrot Sure. But many of these people aint too bright. Half the time they can't tell the front of a phone from the rear. Just think of the number of people who store all their passwords in plain text files on their phones - or photograph their bank cards so they can remember the security code number. No way would I dream of going anywhere near a high-profile political figure. If you stumble across something you seriously shouldn't have seen there aint a corner of this earth they won't pursue you to. Or worse.
@@deaddropholiday your right no possible reward only bad things that could happen.
Does avoid the Clintons and Obama's pool and you should be fine.
Look what happened to Julien Assange when he reported hacked emails. I hope he gets freedom.
Another 5-star episode. Thanks Jack!!
Do Biden and maybe people will notice next time 💀
Darknet Diaries is the only thing on RUclips that I'll drop what I'm doing to watch, thanks for putting out such captivating content
yeah, i kind of have a problem when people say: "their account was hacked, because they had bad security" or something.
they might have had a great password, the security part is on twitter's side or whatever platform. Not - except the password - on the users side.
also: yahoo got hacked BIG TIME. I mean BIG TIME!
i had a yahoo account once.. gone. just gone, password didn't work anymore and so did it go for a shit-ton of people. it wasn't due to a bad password, the freaking site got pwned!!!
kinda...longer and random passwords take longer due to brute forcing passwords takes time.
now that isn't the case if no "sever" side hashing or ect was in place. Some sites have no hash and just sends all the database after some sql injection
so.. even if trump had a 2048bit freakin passphrase. what good is it for him, if the website he logs into is not up to standards or even has insiders who are interested in tweeting in his name. this is more politics than opsec!
@@picklerick814it hasn't happened to Twitter. That was yahoo.
Same thing happened to me. A yahoo account that I'd used for almost 2 decades was....poof...gone forever!
Best bedtime stories right here, this channel is a lot more fun than you might think, so if you're on the fence, hop on over and check it out!
Can't wait for part two!
Yoo this involves my country lets goo!
as IT professional myself being out there is very important.
I hear one of my friends talking in the podcast ahhahahahaha, you know who you are, good shit brother!!
Isn't Guccifer 2.0 in Federal prison in part because he "cracked" a high profile email account, and the password was... "Password?"
The hacker should've pumped some crypto on there under trump's. Easiest money 😂
They could have saved the country from him, potentially, AND pulled a scam.
@@MewtwoStruckBack yup
I'm, honestly, surprised that he used the right "you're"
That cliffhanger at the end... I gotta hear what happened!
i feel like his team was grilling him for months after the db leak and him disallowing them to touch his twitter. highly doubt the grumps were the only/first.
Always use strong password people, to avoid getting hacked.
Make sure none of those passwords have a significant meaning to u or about u. Use passwords even family members or close friends wouldn't be able to guess it.
then, translate your password into ancient Greek, then to Summarian and back to Klingon!
That's why my password is password123
Nobody will ever guess that!!!
@swilsonmc2 very funny lol 🤣 I meant don't use birthdays or obvious numbers that people u know can easily figure out the password
@@YTInnovativeSolution 🤣🤣🤣
I feel like many of the fans or subscribers of this podcast are security professionals. I wonder how many people are like me? They have nothing to do with computer/network security. They just like a great story. And Jack is a great storyteller. If you have no role in the IT industry and, like me, somehow found this podcast and love it, please leave a like. I'm really curious, for whatever reason.
One problem with your survey, besides the possibility that it may not be seen by enough people to get a good read of the crowd, but the story is about hacking and people not always being secure with personal information online. You may not be asking what someone's job is, but you are asking what job people don't have which still narrows down the image of who the online person is. This crowd is very likely too paranoid to tell you what they are, or what they aren't
Well, we know Jack here is a Democrat, and we know he doesn't like Trump and does like Hillary and that he thinks James Clapper is someone to be trusted. Not too paranoid to reveal all that in a previous episode (hint: this is called a PSYOP.
Your production quality is fantastic. Love the fuckin “not those emails” lmao
Ty jack. I love you the most out of all my subscriptions
I love the storytelling and shows content! Great job!
Perhaps I missed the episode (tried searching for it), but I would be interested in one of the biggest hacking issues with the biggest repercussions -- voting machines. Seems both sides of the aisle have raised concerns about their vulnerability to attacks and would be perfect to address on this channel.
Jack has mentioned his political interests in another episode praising Obama and knocking trump. It's his channel and his right to do so. I'm an independent voter for the record, but I used to subscribe to him because of his great content, but after this one, I and my 4 friends will be unsubscribing. I'm not interested in his political slams. Cute way to go about it but the message is received. Goodluck Jack.
Yah that would be cool. A teacher bought one on ebay and rigged a fake election for his class to show it can be done.
@@natsudragon9096my criticism for Jack is his praise of US intelligence agencys that violate peoples civil rights and are responsible for chaos abroad
@@natsudragon9096as a patriot this blows my mind how blind Jack can be. The amount of in your face corruption literally going on is so overwhelming he can't see any of it...?? Really?
@@natsudragon9096this was only my 2nd episode. The 1st was from 6 Mos ago about PSYOPS. An obscure prepper channel researching direct energy & microwave weapons in light of the happenings on Maui and the "unusual" circumstances led me to the PSYOPS channel, which led me here. During the PSYOPS episode he played clapper's BS cover up attempt long after anyone with 2 braincells to rub together was aware it was genuine - the cat was already out of the bag yet this guy gleefully put forth the DNC talking points like a pro.
Personally, I'm not buying it. At the very least he's a partisan shill while pretending not to be one. At worst he's a PSYOP working towards a corrupt goal. I was glad to see your comment - that others saw what I had. Well done!
At least he used the right "you're"
... But an apostrophe would have made it more secure lol
The irony that the blue checkmark now is meaningless and you can be verified as someone else just paying eight dollars a month effectively eliminates the need for high security. As it’s just easier to create a fake account.
Just a little ironic that that the original Trump hack involved Lil Wayne lyrics when on the way out of office he pardoned Wayne
R u going to be in Vegas next week?
Never underestimate 20 year old guis from *4chan*
17:22 😅
I was homeless in Atlantic City for a time.
I remember when all the casinos where shuttering and it was like a ghost town. Creepy af. These enormous buildings, just empty.
Can we get someone to get into any Biden info
Hunter has left the chat
10% for the big guy
Try all the passwords on all the accounts. At that point my friend you have a business. LOL
Man, I love this show. Thanks Jack.
18:22 "youarefired". This is unbelievable ahahah
Great podcast, I think I may've met Edwin in our company while he was speaking on INFOSEC topic 🙂 I may be wrong, alot of Edwins in NL haha. If it is him, he rocks!
Sarah Palin is an underated genius! Right up there with Lauren Boebert!
Every day I enjoy Your content more and more :) Regards :)
Can you do a story on the youtube channel jim browning who hacks people for aliving and hacker stole his youtube channel 😂😂😂😂 way more interesting than boomers getting hacked
I find it interesting that a billionaire used a super old phone and not the newest nicest phone.
Riveting story ! Well done !
To answer your question at 10min. I don't want someone to try it because it's hard to prove intent. Unless I have some way to prove they are legit ethical hackers yes, but not some random dude.
If you use a hard PW,that you can't remeber, then you automaticly reset it everytime you need it :P
N.P.R was hilarious when Trump was in office.
If they weren't having a panic attack they were apoplectic.
"real" billionaires don't have linkedin lol. "self proclaimed" billionaires still need linkedin i guess.
Jacks back
Great video
how can i contact a grumpy old hacker to have a mentor?
Oh. This is gonna get me off!! Lmao !!! Lmao !!!
24:35 why not?
I'll bet his password is even worse now.
The big orange guy probably wanted to have a LinkedIn so he could look up other peoples profiles and work history
he's a genius. probably doesn't think like you
@jamescollier3 haha. Yes, he appears to be genius level. Like all other geniuses, he frequently verbally reminds everyone how smart he is. You know, like Einstein, Freud, and many others. Just watch Jordan Peterson brag about how smart he is. Just like the genius Trump.
Look, I like Trump, but he's NOT a genius. He is very crafty and strategically gifted. But he is not a genius.
@@jamescollier3 if by genius, you mean a genius con man, then yes lol. I have to give him that. dumber than a bag of rocks but by god can he lie, cheat, and steal his way to the top.
The goat
"probably hackers hacking the hotel wi-fi" No, hotel wifi is often just that bad.
Dude, cliffhanger...
I'm not first I'm last 😢
good stuff.
It was easy to do forget my password to almost anyone back in the day lol
once I sat across from someone and asked him his recovery questions and he told me the answers
I didn't reset his password. That would have been illegal.
I thought you would go somewhere else with this, I appreciate your respect and not take political sides. However Trump seems like a person who wont reveal weakness or vulnerabilities. I think it is a personality quirk of his, But he likes to project confidence, and trust. You will never see him admit he did something wrong.
Wouldn‘t the hashes for sha1 encrypted strings be already out there and wouldn‘t there be a rainbow table for it? How‘s the „cracked password“ percentage „only“ ~60%? Are there just too many passwords in it? Genuinely curious if anyone could answer this
There aren't enough atoms on Earth to store that rainbow table. *If* you have a sufficiently random password, anyway
1:35 where is this from lol
nice
I love how he tries to attack trump over his casinos when all the new jersey casinos went under especially after indian casinos started popping up
yeah he's a libtard, but most are when they are young
Its a good lesson too. If you fail at something keep trying. Trump clearly has more wins than losses, to become and stay a billionaire.
You dont ahve to hack my other accounts, if youve hacked one ill probably be like "oh shit" change em all
This channel is great if you have a brain. Never dumb it down Jack. And i love how you explain methods used by the hackers
Donald CHUMP isn't a billionaire lol
Give it some time, his followers are very devout. The more he "loses" the more he cries and the more money they give. Sad but true. This feels as a "what if" situation like someone said "what if Jim Jones or David Koresh became president?" and somehow it morphed into reality. Many years later everyone will look back and wonder, "how can/do/did people really believe in that?" Trumpism has gone beyond politics and on to become a cult. His people don't even know what they "believe in" anymore, they just do without question. He literally has no platform other than "pro-Trump money/power, anti-everything else." The simple-minded are so easily ruled by anyone willing to rule them, mind boggling.
Donald chump may not be a billionaire, but President Donald J Trump is a billionaire. Can confirm.
Boi you trippin
That's why he was careful to say self-declared billionaire
4:50 why?
Twitter is dead. Long live X
I remember using 123456 in the early 00's lol
Lucky it was Trump, doubt theyd be available for this chat if it had been a democrat 💀💀💀

Hacking is great until someone finds someone better and has you black balled from life permanently. Play stupid games, win stupid surprises. 😉
Spoiler alert: the password is not youarefired.
"People with a blue check are people a lot of people listen to or look up to" lol not anymore. Wonder if Trump's fediverse account has the same password 😅

Locks are meant to keep the honest people honest. If you violate that you deserve to pay the penalty proportionately.
Donald Trump so sick of hearing that name please just stop ignore this guy maybe he will go away
What I find funny is he's been out of office for almost 4 years and the mainstream media can't stop talking about him lol
@@abigalanderson7494this isn't mainstream media, it's not even political, it's darknet diaries

The burning question here - could the grumpy hackers have used this access to prevent him from becoming president, and thus making the world a better place in the process?
The real question is. Is it better with Biden in the office?
@@MrBamafan2570 A hell of a lot less people die during the pandemic if trump never gets a term, so that on its own is a net positive.
@@MewtwoStruckBackthere's a giant war in europe and massive border crisis going on because of Biden and his ilk.
Also what you just asked for would be treason.

that's cumulative years in jail for his treason and incessant criming, right?
He was on Epstein's flight logs like every other scummy politician and you're in denial because you're in a cult. He was also openly passionate about supporting child beauty pageants. Your hero is a pedophile and your parents were siblings
@@treyquattroThanks for the 17% inflation, and those are just stupid indictments.
@@jamescollier3 sure, anyone with no appreciation for the law ("We are a nation of laws", remember), nor democracy thinks that those are stupid indictments. I'd love to hear what you nutjobs would be screeching at 110dB if it had been Obama who tried to overturn democracy. And the inflation is down to Jay Powell, Fed chairman and Republican, who was responding to the feckless and criminal response by your Messiah to the pandemic: he tried to ignore it, remember, that spooked the markets, and that spooked Jay Powell, the most useless Fed chair in history. Get your facts straight and understand your own f'ing history.
@@treyquattro banana republic biden is weponizing the doj against his top political opponent. Hilariously its had the opposite effect, causing Trump to surge in the polls.
