A Hacker Shares His Biggest Fears | Informer
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 авг 2021
- A white hat hacker, with over 30 years of experience as a cybersecurity analyst at a major Silicon Valley company, talks about why he turned his back on black hat hacking for the greater good.
He talks about the reality of just how vulnerable our systems really are - from the very real threat of hackers taking the American power grid or medical facilities offline, to how easily accessible our private information is to anyone with WiFi and some time on their hands.
Informer is a series where we hear the anonymised confessions and insights of people on the inside of different industries, institutions and events.

poooop
That's also a mask brother. Its temporary tattoo,
To all the folks laughing at this dude's lack of anonymity - have you considered that maybe he doesn't care and he had to wear the mask to keep the edgy tone of this series?
exactly, these people are so dumb, the mask is just for the series and hes a white hat hacker, our government fucking loves those.
Yeah man he’s a white hat. It’s not like he’s actually doing anything illegal. He’s just snooping.
Also, he may have wanted to show himself to gain a higher profile and make it harder for him to be silenced whether by ruining him financially/livelihood or something more drastic. Whether a person or group that would silence him would care that he is higher profile or not is irrelevant, all that matters is he believes it. His thought process may be "If I say 'someone will try to harm or kill me and I am hurt or killed, it proves I'm right so they won't do it."
he's a dream stan thats why
@@TMinusRecords no I was making a joke bc he was being anonymous
My man covering his face but has his arm tattoo out 👌
Lol chill
with a distinctive beard and huge belly
I know Right. Also what happened to vice disguising their voice ?
And none of it is fake.... LoL
they ALWAYS have someone else in the video for the persons safety
Now we know what Santa does the rest of the year.
Lmao
That why he always forget my present 🤦
He looks through your browsing history to find out if you've been good or bad.
He put me on the naughty list for my search history 😂
💀
"Hey, is that big hairy Mike?"
"No way to tell"
Hahaha
I see you shaved your beard Mike...
Dude doesn't care about his privacy because he's a white hat hacker which means he's helping the government against the bad.
Is that you?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Even if he was my brother I'd never recognise him. Great job Vice.
I would totally recognise a ventriloquist with 4 ears and a neck beard too.
its pretty easy to find out who it is based off his tattoos im sure,, if someone needed to find him they easily could
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@timemasterhms ruclips.net/user/shortsP1q7xbBiRCg?feature=share
It's total BULLSHIT, so no one is worried about identity.
For somebody trying to keep their identity a secret, I wouldn't have my tattoo exposed
That's how a guy wanted in Italy got identity by his simple hand tattoos .the dude never showed his face in his cooking RUclips show . But the tattoo gave him away .
@@shadowrealm8014 Thats what also makes me question a lot of these disguise videos
Hes a white hat hacker. So he hasnt done anything illegal that would warrant him to hide his identity. The mask etc is all vice and part of the show. The guy probably would be happy to give this talk without the mask
@@MrOety I call out the issue of his tattoo being exposed via black hat or other illegal hacker-types would target him personally seeing him shown as an associate for good
Might be a fake tatt to throw it all off.
I remember hearing about an interview YEARS ago, where they interviewed a hacker, and they asked him, if you wanted to crippe the US what would you go after (expecting the answer to be military etc) and the response was, Id go after the water. Dams, resevoirs, things like that. He was like you can cripple a country in days if they have no access to water.
The people are too busy thinking of this is something simply just a story. I don't think half of the people that are watching this even remotely believe this s*** is or has been and still is happening to us today. That's the sad reality, but then again most of you people are supposed to be educated. I was not one of the lucky ones to be able to be so highly educated. I was in special Ed. I got cheated out of that but guess what? I still have my common sense. My critical thinking they didn't screw me out of that like they screwed all you so-called educated people out of yours and I have to say I would. Rather be standing next to another uneducated academically educated person. Like you guys then to be next to a person like me. Who's under educated in the academic world? Because you clearly lost yourself. Some critical thinking and some common sense. I know this because I work at a college and let me tell you. You people are dumber than boxes of freakin rocks, and you actually pay for your dumbing down. How smart do you feel now?
Crazy enough there’s reports that water systems have been hacked…
Exactly what’s happening in Palestine.

@@user-ez9tz4vt4g
Palestine ? Where's that ? I looked on a map can't find it anywhere.
Whoever wrote the title for this needs to be fired ASAP.
@Taylor Puppo can you tell us at what point during the video the hacker talked about the "scariest things" he's ever seen while hacking?
@Taylor Puppo here's a better headline: Hacking Expert Discusses Threats to Global Infrastructure.
The way the headline is written it makes people picture children being trafficked or snuff videos playing on a loop (as evidenced by the other comments). Can't blame users like you though, who are blind to this kind of click bait stuff. 🤷🏻♀️

Body shape … noooo one could tell who this is if they knew him … LMAO
Lmao for real
Could be a fat suit
@@cathy94333 That is absolutely not a fat suit. Even his fingers are fat, man. Makeup and bodysuits are NOT that in-depth. You'd need some impressive Hollywood-level makeup and CGI work to make him seem fat if he wasn't.
everyone has an accent technically.....
What if it was a fat suit and a fake beard lol
Being in San Diego during the ransomware attack of Scripps Health completely opened my eyes to how vulnerable healthcare organizations are. There were people who needed chemo treatments and surgical procedures who had to reschedule and further deteriorate their health because they weren’t even able to pull up their medical record history including allergies, diagnosis, etc. I totally understand why info sec is one of the top invested areas in healthcare now, but with the core tech itself being still so far behind in architecture modernization, these orgs will continue to struggle in the race to secure their systems
and yet it should be a helpful lesson...take better care of yourself in case.
Yes there are solutions but it will take time
you can't secure it, you can only make it annoying for the hacker.
People make it easy. During the plandamic ppl were BEGGING to have their personal information outted. Tracked. I've seen accounting offices with unsecured cardboard "drop in" boxes outside their offices. Hell there are ppl who leave their cell phones paperwork on bathroom counters before entering the stalls.
Indeed! There was a large hospital that had the records stolen where I lived. . I got a notification. The person just walked away with the laptop. After that my Facebook was hacked and one of my email accounts. I had purchased a so called protective software and it didn't work, also suspect. Thanks for sharing the information.
Gotta love all the Sherlock Holmes in the comments here: Identity this, tattoo that,
This isn't his story, he's just telling it..
@Floating Battalyst he may know whose story it is
@Floating Battalyst why sit in a dark room with only a chair and very intentional lighting? It's all by design. More people will watch if it's filmed in this style and the person talking is wearing a mask. No one wants to see some random guy telling someone else's story in a well it room.
Well what about the video where a model told the story the hard life of modeling while being abused? It makes perfectly sense to me
fr, the people in these vids are always eloquent and don't stutter
When they had the 'banker' on talking about 600k bonuses it was very clearly Geraint Anderson who wrote the book CityBoy, so it might be the actual person
I could go on without the music, vice. this guy doesn't need the dramatic music.
Without*
It’s not even that bad. You’re just whining.
It sounds like the PS4 dash music 🤣
Brrrrrrrr dooooooo brrrrrrr dooooo brrrrrrrr dooooo
Lmao 😂😂😂
“Then there’s those that just want to see the world burn”. Sometimes people don’t need a motivation or tragic backstory to do what they do. They just do it because they can.

You just repeat what he said
@@Vfulncchl yes

I love these video series, they put the world into a perspective that is difficult to imagine; The experiences that they have and share is beyond incredible. Vice edits these well including not intervening with the credibility of the storytellers.
Only I think you're a fool if you think these are just simply stories. Dude, I think you need to look at these like it's really happening or has been happening for many many decades, it's I think everybody that sees this needs to take it seriously, especially considering what's happening today, and it's only gonna get worse, so if you don't take me seriously. Today you will, and you're going to shoot yourself in the foot when it finally hits you. And that light bulb comes on, and you're like, oh, s*** Only you're gonna be freaking the f*** out, so you'd better take what this man's saying very serious. If you don't, you're a d*** fool.
The first 22 seconds of this video is EXACTLY the thing some people never understand. The hack does not necessarily have anything to do with you as an individual but instead you are the tool they use to gain access to a bigger system.
Yes, we should think about who or what else we're connected to.
If someone asked me to describe what I thought a hacker looked like, this would be it.
like the gamer from south park
He’s too skinny… this guy definitely hasn’t hacked as much as he claims…
For me I'd imagine this as a hacker 30 years on
Something tells me his face isn’t the most distinct part about him…
Bro, this is fake lol
@@tubeguy4066 and that has what to do with my comment?
The tattoo!😱
Fat chance
🔲SERCH ADITYA RATHORE- HE ALSO MAKES INFORMATIVE CONTENT LIKE VICE
the bad guys are always moving faster than the good guys in basically everything.
Probably because unlike white hat they are not bound by law and aren't exactly reactionary either.
actually its not good or bad thing, whoever takes the first step will gain
Doomer that's not true
This guy will not be faster for sure 😂
not in always also bad and good is really subjective
also it's much harder to secure then to penetrate so it's really different level of skill sets
It’s scary to think about how vulnerable computer infrastructures are… like what are we supposed todo when more and more of our lives are going Digital and he’s right in saying the system is too reactive when it needs to be more proactive with our data protection…
yet he created the very system that he now benefits from. SCUMMING.
It's how it's Always worked. The robber is always one step ahead of the cop.

Video needs a re-title. These are not war stories, they are generalizations everyone is aware of both inside and outside the community. 💤😴
Basic info , looks like they just paid some guy from weight watchers to repeat an article from Wired magazine
I like how they had to cut the entire back of the mask for this dude, he could of used a tortilla and ate the eyes.
lets be real he would've ate that tortilla and blew his cover
That comment soo funny. 🤣🤣🤣😀
Hahaha
Lmaoooooo
Lmaooo ok that one was pretty funny
i love how these kinds of documentaries essentially teach you how to get in trouble.
Right!!! Lol hacking is illegal even ethical hacking as they can it. Unless ur employees of a government entity
@@joylynngeertsen3040hacking isn't illegal sometimes. Its just illegal when you exploit a weakness for financial or personal or organisational gains
nothing about this man besides his face was kept a secret😭
No face no case
@@montanajrivera Tattoo.. beard... his overall body type.. his voice... if the internet wanted too they could find his identity in 24 hours.. the internet has identified people people with less info.
But yes I get the point of the saying. No body/face no charges basically
@@illegalwaffel6435 ikr. If I had enough motivation I'd get every detail about this guy.
He is a hacker, he probably isn't worried about his identity, and probably wants the publicity. They probably made him wear the mask, just to keep with the tone.
@@illegalwaffel6435 somone already has, he's Marc Rogers former head of security at cloudflare

I've seen your comments on so many videos bro. You have taste, I'll give you that.
@@rajbhattacharya4427 Cheers. It would appear so do you, if we've been watching the same vids.
made me chuckle, thanks.
this comment is underrated
The fact that people are commenting on his appearance more often than the content shows that they don't really understand the implications of what is being told.
This man made so much sense in a little more than 6 mins of his time speaking.
Doing cyber security in enterprise environments, my biggest fear is consumer electronics. It creates a mentality that you just go down to the store or go online and buy whatever the manipulative marketing seduces you to believe make you a happily addicted consumer, and then get it home and you'll be up and running in no time. ~~~ Executives come around and say "here look, I want this for everybody at work." Security people then say: "that's not enterprise-grade technology, and is a nightmare to manage from a security perspective." They say: "make it work anyway." So, we get our risk-management group to write up a risk acceptance document for the executives to sign and tell them to get ready to testify before congress. Unfortunately, not all corporations have risk management for cyber security, and some executives are going to be awfully surprised when they get a congressional subpoena.
That’s where the good people would interject and say no for everyone’s benefit. Sadly that’s not how it works though
Very true
I would prioritize security over everything else.
@@solomonstello Yes. Well, we keep banging the drum, and consumers keep lining up to buy garbage. So, thanks for being with us, but it's an uphill battle.
No kidding the security on these devices are a joke. I was helping a friend install a wireless printer and basically anyone can use if they know I can't even password protect them.
His tattoo, his physique, and distinctive beard make the mask obsolete
Pointless

Physique. Lmao you mean his rolls

I like how this video didn't at any point mention any "scary" thing this guy saw while he was hacking
Well he did talk about a hospital getting encrypted or whatever, that could be scary if you think about it
😂
I don’t like that at all thats why I watched the video in the first place
He probably doesn't know anything, he checked some forums and think he's the god.
Yes, mass infrastructure disruption is in fact not scary. Try harder Russian disinformation agent.
This whole series is fantastic....
This man is very intelligent. Great story teller too. He should narrate novels.
This hacker is so good even the person who is actually talking and giving the interview is just a dummy to mislead his enemies.

If only a lot of people told the government that these kinds of things were inevitable and likely to happen soon.
The government don't care there the same ones who will do it
Id like to hear his version of the greater good and how he goes about applying it.
Impacts to electricity production facilities scares me. Makes me think of what happened in Texas late 2020/early 2021 with the rolling blackouts. I heard from a very credible source that it was much, much worse than the media was telling the rest of us.
Yeah I heard the blackouts weren’t rolling like they were meant to be and instead some wealthy areas never lost power, while some people in poor areas were kept in long blackouts and even died because they couldn’t keep the temperature in their homes safe…
He didn’t want to cover his tattoos

He's badass
That's right baby girl.

Great interview. I wish it has more parts.

We just had a ransom attack at 3 local hospitals, they are all part of the St Lawrence health system, it took out all the doctors offices that were part of that system too, I believe that they paid to have their systems back
There’s nothing scary about anything he’s seen.
Holding hospital computers for ransom risking lives isn't scary?
Ikr, people being murdered, tortured, being held physically hostage by organized criminal mafias? Nah computer hacking is scarier. Jokes aside tho its just hacking. It can be used for bad, but its not nesscairly scary. Hacking at the core of it, is sending electronical signals via a fiber cable which executes commands based on that message and sometimes the executer has a discovered design flaw and executes something it wasnt designed to.
You've been hacked!
the customary downvote should be in order for this video
Now, imagine the sh*storm you can unleash by hacking the same pipeline and delivery system that provides thousands of businesses with fuel for the transportation of food and medicine, families being affected because of that or because it's winter and there's no heating fuel to endure the cold, market crashes because of uncertainty, or because the prices of oil soar... The scenarios are too many, and indeed scary when it comes to national security.
I applaud the white hats , it’s impressive to have so much knowledge and talent yet , you keep your talents in check . You are each a modern day silent superhero to me 💕

My company got hacked a while ago. We were out of work for weeks and going forward had to use our overtime to make up for the pay that we did not get so for a few months if we were working overtime at all we were working for free.
They probably made him wear the mask just for the tone of the series. He was probably hoping to get some fans and they were like "no mask, no interview."
He's already very well known in the hacker community. I'm surprised they made him "anonymous" Took me a second to recognize him but I've seen him talk in real life

In order to have good cybersecurity, you must know how to attack a computer system, but since the hackers have the edge on this it's not suprising because they are the one's figuring out new attacks.
The scariest part is what could be done in hospitals. I'm imagining someone taking over robotic equipment or hijacking patient records.
True, it’s happened before unfortunately. Pretty much all of the worst viruses that have existed targeted hospitals which killed people and cost billions in damages
The Ransomware attack on the Pipeline didn’t effect the pipeline, it effected the company’s ability to charge for the oil. They shut down the pipeline because they didn’t have a way to “accurately” charge for the oil.
affect and affected.
@@seanscully3401 Cause -> Effect->Affected. The cause in this case in the Ransomware “attack”, it didn’t hit the computers that operate the oil pumps, so that was never effected, it hit the some of the computers at the office that allow them to charge for the oil, taking their ability to “accurately” charge that would be the effect. An effect that didn’t fully happen, they had some ability. Then who was affected the people at the gas stations, of which I did not mentioned.
@@JakeSDN You are babbling...my point was you used the word effect in the wrong context and should have used the word affect.
Under rated comment. The guys beard isn’t the story, the scary things he has seen is the fact that in a for profit society hackers have the motivation to steal hospitals data, to manipulate an oil company into stopping the sale of oil, etc… The real scary things this man has seen is how easy it is to throw a monkey wrench and the insanely high profit margins of doing so.
This video made me consider a degree in cyber security lol, I read a few years ago that a cyber security was going to be the fastest growing job market in the world these next few years. Seems pretty realistic

What frightens me about ransomware attacks is that you can buy subscriptions to malware without even knowing how to create it. It comes with deployment instructions, and even tech support run by the creators. It's allowing people who don't have any specific skills the ability to orchestrate attacks on such a mass scale.
I hate the way Vice displays hackers.. always with the shady music, dark environments (check the motherboard interview with geohot) and now this ridiculous useless mask...
There was basically no point giving this dude a mask. Anybody that knows him even in passing is going to put together the beard, hair, viking sized body, body type, and arm tattoo in a glance.
well - anybody who knows him - i would assume he isnt exactly a celebrity , so only his workmates/friends/family /few extra would know and recongnize him .
i think the point is none else can do a facesearch , to find his actual identity
Not his real body and the tattoo is fake, and so is the beard, and his voice is altered, and he is really taller the chair is hollowed out to make him look shorter....
"Viking sized" I think you meant Redditor size.
My little boi he is not the actual hacker he is a an acter to tell the story and they know that that stulid mask is not gonna do anything
He’s putting that rat close to the camera. I think it’s a fake that he wants you to notice and grab hold of. So when he takes it off theres no possible way it’s him now.
What is the mask they use for this series btw? I'm curious.
