      This was a few years ago, but I remember being in a urban SERE class, and the topic for that segment of the class was technology. Biometrics, IR, chemical trackers, bio sensors, RFID, and commercial drones were all talked about. The long and short of it is that you cannot hide. We live in an Era where local militia have abundant access to drones and smart phones. Look at what's happening in Ukraine right now. The next wars will not be fought by soldiers, and war machines. They will be won and decided by men like this young man right here. A man with a keyboard and an internet connection will make other weapons of mass destruction look like children's toys.

      May run school/ college and get all the girls. But usually end up labourers or blue collar wage slaves

    Last month, August 2023 Ryan was a big part to play at Pierogi's Scammer Payback call centre helping to shut down scam call centres in India. Amazing work Ryan and thank you for being on the good side young sir. Much love to you, keep up the good work!.

    • @Docochoco39
      @Docochoco39 3 days ago

      Shawn,
      You have to have Pierogi on! His team and affiliates, (SCAMMER PAYBACK), have probably saved millions in interceptions of scams! Ryan has worked with his team and in a two week period the company “AnyDesk” took down massive scammer call centers!
      I can directly relate to a scammer that had me all the way to the bank to withdraw money , package it, and send the cold hard cash to him. Once I stated that I was uncomfortable sending CASH, he started with his vulgar, very disgusting behavior. As a last resort, I did another search for the company I supposedly owed money and I was able to find the legitimate company number. I called them, took a screenshot of the scammers link and reported it. Of all things, it was a power company and the guy started threatening to shut off my utilities! Through Ryan, Pierogi and other top hackers, I have become very in-depth in any questionable calls, texts or emails.
      EVERYONE should watch this episode and go online and watch the great hackers on RUclips that give advice on staying safe.
      GREAT EPISODE!!

  • @M9A1MAN
    @M9A1MAN 2 years ago +590

    I've been in law enforcement for 15 years, and I agree with this gentleman. We've started seeing a huge increase of home break ins where the thief's have a signal jammer. These jammers can not only jam cell signals which most alarms now use to communicate with the central alarm company, but also alarm sensors, and even police radios. My guys went to a call and caught the thief before he was able to get away and the officers noticed that non of their radios were working (they couldn't transmit/receive). These devices are getting easier and easier to get. I always recommend a hardwired alarm system when possible. Keep car keys inside faraday bags. We also recently had a home invasion where the homeowners alarm system did not go off because the 4 thief's had a signal jammer that could jam multiple frequencies at the same time.

    • @TimothyMcVay
      @TimothyMcVay 2 years ago +12

      Was the house specifically targeted, nice area ? Also what state if you don't mind me asking.. or east or west coast if not state. My folks are older & have had some weird things happening with their alarm system & people being caught on ring camera. Just wondering. Be safe out there

    • @M9A1MAN
      @M9A1MAN 2 years ago +36

      @TimothyMcVay Nevada, nice area yes. I don't recall if the house was targeted or not. In my experience, they usually are. It's very rare they target a house randomly. I remember getting a bulletin from another agency out of state and they're starting to catch these guys with jammers also. In my house my entire alarm is hard wired and has two forms of communication back to central office. Via cell, and internet (hardline) as backup. DO NOT ever get SimpliSafe though. Those are using common ham bands frequencies and a cheap ham radio could bypass them. If you're stuck with a wireless system, the best bet is to get one where the main alarm system will basically send out frequent requests to the sensors asking "are you still there?" If it doesn't get a response (being jammed or low battery) the alarm goes off or alerts you. Lastly I will say that home invasions have been through the roof. To the point where I have never seen in my entire career. Be armed, be prepared at all times. Hopes this helps.

      Ryan Montgomery knows this better than most. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Pennsylvania-born was one of those computer whiz kids we’ve always heard about, exposed to computers at ten years old, making his way up through the hacker world and putting his skills into online marketing. In his own words, he did exceptionally well in the field.
      All was not well, however. Montgomery had also developed a drug addiction. It’s a common enough story, and one we’ve all heard: success mixed with drug abuse. And sure enough, it eventually landed Montgomery in jail.
      “That was my rock bottom,” he says. He got into recovery, got clean and sober, and along with Christopher Ferry, helped found the Boca Recovery Center in Florida. “Since then, I’ve put my skills in computers and online marketing to helping others overcome their addiction.”
      Skimming through Montgomery’s Instagram is to see a case study in the phrase “life after addiction.” There are all the markers of success: a house, car, lavish dinners with friends. But there is also a clear sense of purpose: photos of him at Boca Recovery, posts about the center’s scholarship program, and a general encouragement that those who need help seek it.

People need to get over technology anxiety and learn to protect themselves or things are going to get very lawless.

    • @ommanomnom
      @ommanomnom Year ago

      @peetruu22 hey there. I started by working for a managed service provider for 3 years as a network engineer so I had the basics of networking, cloud, and coding in power shell, bash, Linux etc. from there I started an apprenticeship in a cybersecurity hacking company nearby as I already had relevant network experience.

      @peetruu22 I'd recommend Udemy. They've got online courses that comes along with certificates. Video based too.
      U can get into that stuff. I started that way, only to figure out it wasn't for me, so I went the SQL / .NET route.

    Security/Devops guy here - airports are without a doubt the most dangerous place to connect to wifi networks. There is no telling who is just hanging out there, running a similar device, to capture all of your data. Setup MFA for any/all accounts you have is critical these days to avoid your data being hacked.

    Hackers are so intriguing to me. Like they could literally do so much wrong, but also they can be used for a lot of good. I guess all depends on the person and their morals.

    • @DangErMous35p
      @DangErMous35p 2 years ago +14

      Yup. Often depends on the individual's moral code & where their interests lie.
      Don't know if he went over it in the main video but there are white hats (hack for good, call out vulnerabilities that need fixing, etc...) & black hat (maliciously exploits vulnerabilites of their targets for any number of reasons.) Many switch back & forth between hats as easily as they inhale & exhale.

    • @W8RIT1
      @W8RIT1 2 years ago

      there are White Hat and Red Hat "hackers", as well as pen testers, penetration testers. They are certified and usually subcontracted by large companies to have another company try to hack in to their computer systems, or access areas or rooms of buildings. They then report the weaknesses to their customer so there are corrections. So some of this knowledge can be quite commonly used for a good and lawful purpose. Then there are ways that you can protect yourself. Such as I can post a link of 2 British car thieves that stole a Mercedes in seconds without even waking the owner by hacking his keyfob. They duplicated his recorded keyfob response to become stronger so the car would recognize it and allow access and driving. It took maybe 10 seconds and they didn't break a window or a sweat.

    • @W8RIT1

    • @Jackson_Zheng
      @Jackson_Zheng 2 years ago +4

      As someone who has dabbled in this stuff in the past, most serious hackers aren't really motivated by money and they don't really care about a random person's data.
      The reason the hack is largely because it's fun. Many of the big hacks that are done by individuals (hacker groups are different) are done because they were bored.
      It's not until they get into financial difficulty that they hack for money. Those hacks are usually the easiest to do and quite well known so it's not really that exciting to them.

      @br0.wtf.y0 2 years ago +1

      I work in the field so it's it was nothing I wasn't aware of but I found it alarming and informative just how uninformed the average person is on how vulnerable their things are. obviously I didn't expect nurses to be informed to the level I am about MITM attacks (just an example) but I guess stuff like this has become so commonplace to me that im now jaded in terms of what people outside the field are aware of.
      seeing how shocked people are in the comments has blown my mind. especially taking into account that nothing he discussed is particularly new either. the compact, all-in-one device things he's using are new-ish but even some of them have been around for several years. what they do has been possible for several more years, just required considerably more hardware making it much awkward to use in the real world. MOST things he talked about I could have done 10+ years ago with my laptop, my code repositories from the time and my various antenna and such sold at any RadioShack lol
