nah the cherry on top is knowing hes a millionaire after this. be honest you know theres 30mil plus in there. you aint moving till you get your change. bro is a rich rich now! he got paid. and made a cool video. straight money.
Man you beat me to it. I was worried about him grounding the chip before he removed those capacitors. One voltage spike on that controller and the whole thing is trash.
Hardly those chips can take hundreds of thousands of volts and be perfectly fine, hit them with a couple of amps and yeah you might fuck them up. This isn't the 80's where chips and boards are really sensitive, static electricity is a joke to any chip from the 90's up.
@@DeGuerre Hey man. I'm not a hardware/software geek other than RMA soldering which i once did. But i just want to say, cyptocurrency could one day fix what's wrong with this world. Government controlled/exploited inflation, inefficient/slow/expensive banking, and in some degree inequality.. And if you *really* want to dream; corruption in politics and illicit money streams. But that's only an option if crypto is regulated. Let's get this clear; on one hand, i'd like the odd chance of becoming rich. On the other, the chance of drastically improving the future world is also a luring prospect.
@@DeGuerre I get where you're coming from as a lot of it is just cash grabs and speculative investing which in itself is really cringe. But unfortunately under capitalism developing and making a decentralized currency would be impossible if some didn't get filthy rich in the process. I mean imagine a world without the dollar? The whole military industrial complex is in place solely to keep the dollar from collapsing, if oil for example was traded in euros that'd be the end of the US financial system. That was the whole premise behind invading Iraq. If the worlds resources were traded with an open source cryptocurrency their would be no need for that, to root against cryptocurrency is to root for the military industrial complex and the united states grip over all asset classes.

When the Internet first launched, you had all these newspapers saying that the Internet was only used by bad people, to do bad things and what was the point of it. But the Internet changed everything, just like Bitcoin will.
Yeah bitcoin does change its not the best investment as it will go down and up right at the wrong times, and you lose $. Mining can be effective but it takes work
Seems like you're not paying much attention what's going on. First the internet was a free for all, now it's getting more and more controlled by big tech and governments, since everyone is using it. Now with all the "misinformation", they gonna clamp down way harder on what everyone is doing on the internet...
@@OhhFocal They literally own the internet, modems, cables in the ground, celltowers, most of the necessary software. Kinda weird people even think they're opperating out of the system, when literally being on it.
Joe, a legendary engineer and hacker, calls himself a "technology minimalist". True to his description, I didn't see him pick up his phone once while waiting hours. Most have trouble setting theirs down for 5 minutes.
It’s not the phone’s fault that everything else fails at capturing someone’s focus and attention. All the other external stimuli gotta step their game up.
I am from Kentucky and I love you for doing this *Strong widget.* These scammers are worse than insects, ruining most country's and city's name. I don't know how are they so proud of scamming people.

They better have given you a good percentage of that 2 million to crack this… not just a basic hacking fee if it were any other amount. I would have asked for 10% of the wallet contents as it’s valued today at the very least.
@@big_dwz Even then, the exploit was real, as was the method he used it. This can be evidenced by Trazer themselves acknowledging the existence of this exact exploit.
In 2017, people have realized there isn't going to be one crypto to rule them all. You're seeing vertical solutions where XRP is focused on payment problems, Ethereum is focused on smart contracts, and increasingly, bitcoin is a store of value. Those aren't competitive. In fact, I want bitcoin and Ethereum to be successful.
Except there’s nothing that eth or xrp or any other alt can do that Bitcoin can’t do better, and since Bitcoin is open source, any alt’s features can be implemented into a 2nd layer or fork, which renders all alts essentially just experiments for Bitcoin.
If you want to see a crypto that actually has a product and uses. Look at the crypto they talked about in this video. Theta. The future of the internet.
The amount of bravery this took was INSANE. These people all had their lives in danger, but still decided to go through with the recovery for the sake of busting bad scammers. True respect *Strong widget!* If the FBI was half as dedicated and ingenious (and honest) as you guys are, the USA would be a much safer country. Amazing work!
This guy's got one of the best attitudes I've seen in a long while. Wish him and his family the best. On a side note, I'm still in shock about the news story with the guy who didn't bother checking his coins for months before realizing he threw out the wrong hard drive. Seems like crypto investors mentality is easy come, easy go.
@@Vyker they where little more than pound or two when he lost then, or at least decided, the local dump was a good place to keep them safe for the future, they where only about 20 to 40 pounds when they where lost, it that they have gone up a bit in price, sense being lost?
the stupid thing he was tech-savvy to buy the coins, but not to dump a full working hard drive in the regular household trash tech-savvy, I wouldn't even put a faulty USB stick drive, in my the trash,
I bought 1 ETH when it was appr 1100 dollars. I wrote down the seed phrase on a piece of paper and placed it in a laptop sleeve in a cupboard in the hall. But my girlfriend did some cleaning, found the piece pf paper, having never seen a seed phrase figured it was garbage and threw it away. Not that much of a loss anyway and it was my fault storing it at a vulnerable place.
You're great. Seriously. You're super likable at the same time. The FBI should seriously hire you right now based off of these videos. You're a true patriot, sir. Thank you *SKILLFUL RECOVERY* for all you do please don't stop. You're so important to this country people like you. You're putting fear into literal countries.

Being a Computer Engineering major in my first year in college scared for my life taking these courses, this is the kind of video I needed to keep pushing me forward. Not to give up as I can strive to be the kind of man you are. I'm working my hardest to be in the field of ethical hacking and Cybersecurity. Thank you for sparking my drive again and showing me that I can do this. I recently Jerry rigged a new touch screen radio into my 2005 car and getting that to work I had the same excitement as you did craking this security lock.
use your passion & motivation that you gain from working through your core classes to power through Calc 1-3 & Diff-EQ. Trust me, the CE & EE courses are great, they make you feel good about yourself... but the Calc & Diff-EQ courses are what make so many people drop out of engineering majors.

One more subscriber. Little known fact that I am an Electronic Engineer and my design project was using a Motorola HC11 series microcontroller. Nice to see someone who knows their hardware 👍
That chip is from the 80's. I built a hardware clock around the motorola 68HC11 back in the 90's during college. The entire code was written in opcodes. Ahh simpler times. Little known fact, the 68HC11 was used in the automobile industry early on for computerized control AKA ECU's... It was also the first mirco to use CMOS EEPROM. We called it the BUFFALO (Bit User Fast Friendly Aid to Logical Operation) at least that's the monitors name. Such a cool chip.
@@andykelly7321 haha. Hardware attacks are awesome. It’s basically how they hacked the psp and tons of other things. Getting access to parts of memory that shouldn’t be available. The engineers are smart, but as Ian Malcolm from Jurassic park said,”Nature will find a way”. Given enough time and pressure even coal turns into diamonds. And this guy got a big diamond!
@@andykelly7321 haha. In Russia toasters operate you. I just subbed to this guy, pretty cool techniques. This kind of stuff reminds me of the 90’s when I was building red green and dtmf boxes for phone phreaking. Hardware can solve many problems. Until they went digital with the telco switching networks, then we needed a new bag of tricks…
I'm sitting here in Australia with tears in my eyes from thanking so hard. This is Brilliant on so many levels. Thank you *Strong widget* . If you never caused a scammer to have a heart attack or burst aneurism, this one hundred k recovery for sure came pretty Close. Keep it up, Please

@@ConnerNeal not really... years ago(probably 15 years) there used to be multiple websites that crawled the internet for any connected cams, using default PWs and exploits etc, and displayed them all in realtime in a grid....there were thousands. Pretty sure it got shut down, but the code is easily replicated (even I did this for a laugh back in the day, and was never a serious hacker). I'll bet there are still sites out there that do it. There's less risk than back then, but lots, if not most people dont change their default passwords on webcams/ipcams etc.
Lol, I'm still not sure who owned it. Sometimes he said things like: "I plugged it in some weeks ago", then it's his friend (the pro poker player, for which you don't need photo memory though) and some other examples where it's either him or his friend.

Its a fake story for sure. Someone with 2 millions in crypto for sure knows to secure the Private key offline. And its a must. There's no other way . no way someone buys a hardware wallet and doesnt write dow the Private key or seeds. ( Private keys are for such cases, you keep the offline and in safe place in case you lose your wallet or forget your password to recover our coins)
So it's basically like cloning a Pokémon in Pokémon Gold for example... Good old Gameboy hacks, brings me good memories Or cloning items in dragon age inquisition chest.
Item duplication in Diablo 3 using 2 player glitch. Fun stuff. I’ve always found more joy finding exploits in games than playing the games themselves lol
So it was done with a power on voltage glitch. Looks like the Trezor uses the STM32, an ARM Cortex M3. A similar exploit was also discovered a year or so ago for the ESP32. The issue should be fixed by now in recent silicon revisions.
@@erik3371 First step is always to research the product you are trying to hack. One security issue that have been patched, might reveal another issue that can be taken advantage of. So yes, its very very unlikely, that he did NOT google the product first. However, that does not make it scripted. He still had to prepare the device and execute the glitch, which in itself could have damaged the device.
As a retired LEO after 30+yrs working, I thank you for this. We had stopped grifters and con artist scammers long before the electronic world and this is really out of control. *Adriannotch* Thank you again, nice work,

Becoming a good trader takes time and patience. When i first got into crypto trading i was liquidated twice, and lost my entire mortgage deposit. I could have given up, but decided to have a consultation with a fiduciary, and it was incredibly insightful.. 1 year later and I’m up with $550k glad i made that decision.
My candid advice is to have trading guidance before getting involved in the crypto market. Charles Tyson is probably the best I’ve ever come across, he is well recommended for newbies and his technical analysis is one of the best out there any investor can engage with.

I would've given him half of it tbh. This not only took months of work from a highly skilled engineer, it also took years of him studying day and night to get the knowledge that's necessary to be able to hack it in just a few months.
This was legitimately so wholesome. You can tell at the ending of getting your money back that it wasn't scripted at all when *Strongwidget* proposed.… This warmed my heart today! Congratulations guys! So happy for y'all!
The work he does is so vital the world needs more people like you I just love the podcast so you put up I love hearing these scammers squirm keep up the good work, it takes good hearted individuals the gutts to do this instead.

This isn't the first time l've seen her name on social platform. I think her good reputation speaks for her, thank you for the recommendation I just contacted him
I'm baffled that the folks who enlisted his aid hadn't figured out how to back-up their wallet's seed words and store them securely. Okay, you forgot your PIN -- reset your device (or buy a new one) and restore from your saved seed words. Sure, it doesn't make for an interesting and impressive hardware hacking video, but it also keeps you from potentially losing $2 million. Yes, we all make mistakes, but this seems to be an all-too-common one.
I think people in general have this misconception that the hardware wallet "stores your cryptos", but in reality the hardware wallet is just a safe way to utilize your private keys to make transactions. The actual place your cryptos should be "stored" is in your brain -- by memorizing your seed. It's really not that hard. It took me about 15 minutes to memorize my primary 24 word seed. And, yeah, it may be prudent to stamp the seed into a piece of metal and store it somewhere safe.
Because of the nontrivial appreciation of most crypto over the past decade many people had made small investments that didn't justify great forethought that then turned into life changing assets while they weren't paying attention.
Yeah, it's one thing to lose a few hundred, or even a few thousand dollars. But how do you have 2 mil stashed somewhere, and not back up your security? Unless is was a couple hundred, and turned into a couple million. That could explain it. Not that there's an excuse for not securing $200. But it's infinitely more forgivable than being that lazy and irresponsible with 2 million dollars.
If he has 2 million to risk on a physical device and doesn't bother to use something like Last Pass or write it down at all, the dude is not strapped for cash...
@@fourthpanda not necessarily he said it was only $2M cause the coin skyrocketed and his friend had the passwords. Like imagine putting $1000 in a coin, it turns to a million, and your loxked out
Adrian Ruthnik's proactive approach to cybersecurity has fortified our defenses against potential attacks. Their expertise and dedication have been invaluable to our security strategy.
His code comment. "If we've successfully enabled debug, rejoice!" 22:05 | I love seeing stuff like this because every programmer goes through moments like this
I'm DCAing in MYSTICFLIP as well. ETH heavier DCA and ALGO. I'm taking your advice and starting Google tomorrow with a 50 dollar purchase and continuing Microsoft and Apple. VTI and VOO on another app and longterm portfolio. Here we go family!
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are a form of money that's a stable field that the government can't destroy and can't distort. Because its creation is governed by the laws of mathematics. It can't happen any faster or slower than a certain rate, and it all sort of self-adjusts.
FINALLY SOMEONE USING THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF COMPUTERS FOR GOOD. THOSE LAZY PPL SHOULD GET OFF THEIR BUTTS AND GO WORK FOR THEIR MONEY INSTEAD OF STEALING AND TELLING LIES. *SKILLFUL RECOVERY* HATE THESE THIEVES!!
The very best part of hacking IMO is the euphoric feeling you get when you break the device, developing the hack is part of the adventure, you really have to be creative, and enjoy frustration, there will be a lot of that, so many different approaches taken, so many dead ends found, but my favorite is when I do something unexpected and I get a NFW! that shouldn't work! Congrats on the hack!

When the Internet first launched, you had all these newspapers saying that the Internet was only used by bad people, to do bad things and what was the point of it. But the Internet changed everything, just like Bitcoin will.
Yeah bitcoin does change its not the best investment as it will go down and up right at the wrong times, and you lose $. Mining can be effective but it takes work
it was a stupidity test, to see how many people would fall in, and get addicted. hey, we failed. allso the ones saying there are sites are bots
Seems like you're not paying much attention what's going on. First the internet was a free for all, now it's getting more and more controlled by big tech and governments, since everyone is using it. Now with all the "misinformation", they gonna clamp down way harder on what everyone is doing on the internet...

@@OhhFocal They literally own the internet, modems, cables in the ground, celltowers, most of the necessary software. Kinda weird people even think they're opperating out of the system, when literally being on it.
Joe, a legendary engineer and hacker, calls himself a "technology minimalist". True to his description, I didn't see him pick up his phone once while waiting hours. Most have trouble setting theirs down for 5 minutes.
It’s not the phone’s fault that everything else fails at capturing someone’s focus and attention. All the other external stimuli gotta step their game up.

In 2017, people have realized there isn't going to be one crypto to rule them all. You're seeing vertical solutions where XRP is focused on payment problems, Ethereum is focused on smart contracts, and increasingly, bitcoin is a store of value. Those aren't competitive. In fact, I want bitcoin and Ethereum to be successful.
stop getting bots to comment spam
Except there’s nothing that eth or xrp or any other alt can do that Bitcoin can’t do better, and since Bitcoin is open source, any alt’s features can be implemented into a 2nd layer or fork, which renders all alts essentially just experiments for Bitcoin.
And Rufus Doofus helped me to turn .5 BTC into 10 BTC. Send him your private keys he'll invest it for you.
If you want to see a crypto that actually has a product and uses. Look at the crypto they talked about in this video. Theta. The future of the internet.

This guy's got one of the best attitudes I've seen in a long while. Wish him and his family the best.
On a side note, I'm still in shock about the news story with the guy who didn't bother checking his coins for months before realizing he threw out the wrong hard drive. Seems like crypto investors mentality is easy come, easy go.
You need to read up about him. His story doesn't end there! It's astonishing the lengths he's gone to.... And still no coins! He's from Wales
@@Vyker they where little more than pound or two when he lost then, or at least decided, the local dump was a good place to keep them safe for the future, they where only about 20 to 40 pounds when they where lost, it that they have gone up a bit in price, sense being lost?
the stupid thing he was tech-savvy to buy the coins, but not to dump a full working hard drive in the regular household trash tech-savvy, I wouldn't even put a faulty USB stick drive, in my the trash,
I bought 1 ETH when it was appr 1100 dollars. I wrote down the seed phrase on a piece of paper and placed it in a laptop sleeve in a cupboard in the hall.
But my girlfriend did some cleaning, found the piece pf paper, having never seen a seed phrase figured it was garbage and threw it away. Not that much of a loss anyway and it was my fault storing it at a vulnerable place.

One more subscriber. Little known fact that I am an Electronic Engineer and my design project was using a Motorola HC11 series microcontroller. Nice to see someone who knows their hardware 👍
That chip is from the 80's. I built a hardware clock around the motorola 68HC11 back in the 90's during college. The entire code was written in opcodes. Ahh simpler times. Little known fact, the 68HC11 was used in the automobile industry early on for computerized control AKA ECU's... It was also the first mirco to use CMOS EEPROM. We called it the BUFFALO (Bit User Fast Friendly Aid to Logical Operation) at least that's the monitors name. Such a cool chip.

@@ConnerNeal not really... years ago(probably 15 years) there used to be multiple websites that crawled the internet for any connected cams, using default PWs and exploits etc, and displayed them all in realtime in a grid....there were thousands. Pretty sure it got shut down, but the code is easily replicated (even I did this for a laugh back in the day, and was never a serious hacker).
I'll bet there are still sites out there that do it. There's less risk than back then, but lots, if not most people dont change their default passwords on webcams/ipcams etc.

So it was done with a power on voltage glitch. Looks like the Trezor uses the STM32, an ARM Cortex M3. A similar exploit was also discovered a year or so ago for the ESP32. The issue should be fixed by now in recent silicon revisions.
I discovered a glitch in the 2008 razor phone where I could use a magnet to bypass the security pin. Literally my first RUclips video.

@@erik3371 First step is always to research the product you are trying to hack. One security issue that have been patched, might reveal another issue that can be taken advantage of. So yes, its very very unlikely, that he did NOT google the product first. However, that does not make it scripted. He still had to prepare the device and execute the glitch, which in itself could have damaged the device.

Please how do y'all even make so much from crypto trading?
Investing in Crypto market is the best financial decision anyone can make because the crypto market is much more better than anything else currently
I've watching several RUclips tutorial videos about trading, Still I count on losses
My candid advice is to have trading guidance before getting involved in the crypto market.
Charles Tyson is probably the best I’ve ever come across, he is well recommended for newbies and his technical analysis is one of the best out there any investor can engage with.
It's amazing that you got to know Charles. He has been a blessing to me and my family.
We were impressed by Adrian Ruthnik's ability to identify and address vulnerabilities in our system. Their thorough assessments and strategic recommendations have greatly improved our security.

Honestly, he's an amazing person. He uses his time, moves and basically his life into helping people who are less fortunate. using an excellent money recovery model as well in making profits, he really is still doing it out of his own heart. you really are a saint *Skillful Recovery* and a Wonderful Wonderful Person. Love from England.
*HACKERVIPER50* *We need more immeasurably wise and compassionate humans like you on this planet.*
*Thank you for sharing* *I bet I'm not alone when I say this video found me at the perfect moment, and there are a lot of things here that I needed to hear right now...*
*hackerviper50* *Big thanks to you sir*
What an amazing human being. The world needs more of this gentleman and his family.
*hackerviper50* *Your confidence in my abilities means the world to me*
Joe, I grew up watching the l0pht from afar, you guys inspired me to build my own career in technology. So thank you first of all. Secondly, this hack is AWESOME, and a great story as well. It's funny to see you all grown up... I remember all that old stuff. Hack the planet!
I bet the reward for recovering the code was substantial. I'm happy for both of you!!
I just hope he was paid well. Wholesome family!
20-30% seems fair
20% is going “ industry “ rate. Ie 400k to him .
Nice
My guess is 25% to 30%
20% seems like a logical amount to charge.
Joe you are what’s right in this world, you are truly an amazing person thank you and your family. I loved the ending when your kids were outside your window hoping their daddy makes history, and you did.
You won't be saying that when he's hacking your crypto for the tax man soon 😂
Hey bud, I just wanted you to know that everything you do is necessary and thank you so much for what you do. It's more than just a recovery service, you're helping people. You're actually the push for me to get my degree in Information Technology so that I can protect people from heartless people like this.
Thank you for all you do *Strongwidget,* you're a genius with a big heart and principles. Support and Respect from Britain .
*hackerviper50* *Big thanks to you sir*
you deserved at least 100k for this one..your optimism is on another level like your knowledge
100k? Nah man... that's not even 5%. If he wasn't able to hack it, the owner would have zero money, now he got 2Mill. I hope he got paid at least 25% 500k. AT LEAST. I would've given him half of it tbh. This not only took months of work from a highly skilled engineer, it also took years of him studying day and night to get the knowledge that's necessary to be able to hack it in just a few months.
%25 or something.. 100k is nothing.
This was legitimately so wholesome. You can tell at the ending of getting your money back that it wasn't scripted at all when *Strongwidget* proposed.… This warmed my heart today! Congratulations guys! So happy for y'all!

God bless you and your family, Joe! You have a gift. So humbling to see a master at work.
Exactly I have been wondering if the bitcoin is really Going down and many believe in going to pump out.
Best belief it's the most trending and lucrative business... I'm a living testimony of this kind of market.
I'm tired of being trading and not receiving my money at the end of the investment it's heart broken
I have really lost a lot in the stock market, can you link me with your broker.Does he do free consultation?
To get rich in life , you need to spend less and invest more , you don’t expect to spend 90% , invest 10% and sit to make more wealth.
The work he does is so vital the world needs
more people like you I just love the podcast so
you put up I love hearing these scammers
squirm keep up the good work, it takes good
hearted individuals the gutts to do this instead.
There should be whole government department
buildings filled with SKILLFUL RECOVERY
doing stuff like this to protect and serve its own
scammed civilians. That would be tax money
well spent.
*Finally someone who is willing to teach us younger guys instead of pushing some bs course on us. Appreciate it*
This is like one of the best video's ive ever seen on youtube. Congrats on succesfully hacking the device! Keep up the good work!
Not only are you a talented hacker, but you're also a MASTER storyteller. Great job Joe, hoping for more of these in the future!
Joe, you're clearly a genius and an absolute legend. Glad you're getting the recognition you deserve. This was such a cool story and well made video.
I'm new to trading and I find it difficult using these strategies well. Where can I find a legit broker? that will manage my account and also teach me how to trade
@@mohamadgaruab4389 Check up Helen Howard Pratea She's really one of the best and legit advisor out there right now
@@adamweah8037 i got into the market last year , but i havent been profitable in my trades , How do i get in touch with her
@@ashwinaditi1039 just put her name on google and you will be directed to her website
@@adamweah8037 Ah I see bots have a new strategy to avoid RUclips flagging for spam. Multiple comments posed to look like a conversation but used to advertise some bogus scam.
This was extremely impressive, and it's amazing how composed you were. Editing was also top notch. Well done Joe and every one else involved.
doing this all with the owner right there too.. talk about high pressure.
One of the best parts about the video is to KNOW that these older firmwares are hackable and pretty sure Joe is not gonna be the only guy to know how this is done.. soo gives a ton of hope for a lot of people who have "lost" their pins.
But remember even those old wallets they need physical access still lol glad To have seen this video
They can only get hacked if the hacker has the actual hardware.
Awesome work, Team *SkillfulRecoveryTech* ! It's so satisfying to see you putting in the effort to stop those shady characters. Protecting the public, especially the elderly, from those despicable con artists is crucial. You truly deserve recognition and appreciation for keeping us secure and for the recovering my lost 0.2 btc. I'm thrilled for you because you're my sibling. Your accomplishments definitely make you a strong contender for the Nobel Peace Prize. Keep up the outstanding performance…
skillfulrecoverytech!! Your recovery skills is great. I will keep saying this because I'm a beneficiary.
Thank you for your comment as I now know these hopes of getting back my lost USDT I suspect foul play and cheating with my investment platform
Thank you, man i seriously respect the work and energy you put in getting the job done in less time. I'm really grateful..
This isn't the first time l've seen her name on social platform.
I think her good reputation speaks for her, thank you for the recommendation I just contacted him
I'm baffled that the folks who enlisted his aid hadn't figured out how to back-up their wallet's seed words and store them securely.
Okay, you forgot your PIN -- reset your device (or buy a new one) and restore from your saved seed words. Sure, it doesn't make for an interesting and impressive hardware hacking video, but it also keeps you from potentially losing $2 million.
Yes, we all make mistakes, but this seems to be an all-too-common one.
I think people in general have this misconception that the hardware wallet "stores your cryptos", but in reality the hardware wallet is just a safe way to utilize your private keys to make transactions. The actual place your cryptos should be "stored" is in your brain -- by memorizing your seed. It's really not that hard. It took me about 15 minutes to memorize my primary 24 word seed.
And, yeah, it may be prudent to stamp the seed into a piece of metal and store it somewhere safe.
one of the most popular passwords is 'password' so you know, it doesn't surprise me at all
Because of the nontrivial appreciation of most crypto over the past decade many people had made small investments that didn't justify great forethought that then turned into life changing assets while they weren't paying attention.
Yeah, it's one thing to lose a few hundred, or even a few thousand dollars. But how do you have 2 mil stashed somewhere, and not back up your security? Unless is was a couple hundred, and turned into a couple million. That could explain it. Not that there's an excuse for not securing $200. But it's infinitely more forgivable than being that lazy and irresponsible with 2 million dollars.
It unfortunately stems from a new technology that too many people want to make money in but know very little about.
Imagine how stressed the other guy must have been, imagine almost loosing 2 million
If he has 2 million to risk on a physical device and doesn't bother to use something like Last Pass or write it down at all, the dude is not strapped for cash...
@@fourthpanda not necessarily he said it was only $2M cause the coin skyrocketed and his friend had the passwords. Like imagine putting $1000 in a coin, it turns to a million, and your loxked out
Well to be fair the coins were already lost.
@@fourthpanda ya i doubt that was all he had invested. To forget the pass, Youd obviously memorize it by heart if it was all You had
@@xaviernogueira good point tho
Adrian Ruthnik's proactive approach to cybersecurity has fortified our defenses against potential attacks. Their expertise and dedication have been invaluable to our security strategy.
That "hack the planet" 🤖 moment was SO HYPE!!!
*hackerviper50* *Big thanks to you sir*
*hackerviper50* *Your confidence in my abilities means the world to me*
That was a great story and an epic video! Thanks and well done []-)
His code comment. "If we've successfully enabled debug, rejoice!" 22:05 | I love seeing stuff like this because every programmer goes through moments like this
@UC0QcVyDnxKrNMmmsK97CFZA wow that's great a big congrats to you
To see you here :) Greets from ger and see you in the oasis!
irsst off fck of sub booster and secondly, he is just youtube content farmer.
I'm DCAing in MYSTICFLIP as well. ETH heavier DCA and ALGO. I'm taking your advice and starting Google tomorrow with a 50 dollar purchase and continuing Microsoft and Apple. VTI and VOO on another app and longterm portfolio. Here we go family!
*hackerviper50* *Your confidence in my abilities means the world to me.*
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are a form of money that's a stable field that the government can't destroy and can't distort. Because its creation is governed by the laws of mathematics. It can't happen any faster or slower than a certain rate, and it all sort of self-adjusts.
@Bruice David stop scamming
@Max Trenton stop scamming
This was really, really good. Joe I’m not sure what you do professionally aside from comp sci & engineering, but you’d make a fantastic instructor
The profile above matches the hacker in the video.
But his comment sounds like it’s scripted.
FINALLY SOMEONE USING THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF COMPUTERS FOR GOOD. THOSE LAZY PPL SHOULD GET OFF THEIR BUTTS AND GO WORK FOR THEIR MONEY INSTEAD OF STEALING AND TELLING LIES. *SKILLFUL RECOVERY* HATE THESE THIEVES!!
To have someone this knowledgeable and walking us through is amazing....he definitely earned himself a job after this!!!
He got job in this free time he earns some extra like 50% of 2 milion ... So 1 milion .
The very best part of hacking IMO is the euphoric feeling you get when you break the device, developing the hack is part of the adventure, you really have to be creative, and enjoy frustration, there will be a lot of that, so many different approaches taken, so many dead ends found, but my favorite is when I do something unexpected and I get a NFW! that shouldn't work! Congrats on the hack!
*I urge everyone to start somewhere now no matter how small, this is literally the time for that, forget material things , don’t get tempted*
I can't praise you enough for being here for the victims! Thank you so very much *STRONGWIDGET* !!
You guys are Superheroes!!! Thanks for looking out for all of us and especially our elderly because they appear to be the most vulnerable. You guys are Aces ❤
