"Hey, so can you show us how you would start hacking someone. We want to get cool footage." Marcus pulls up a text editor and a single terminal. Filmakers: o_O Result: 4:00
Did he sort it tho? Or was he apart of starting it, he found that domain way to easy, he's known for trying to social engineer banking details off people so he can empty their account (he makes out the banking malware he made was nothing, it wasn't nothing because it went quiet big in the hacking world and everyone was using it, so no thanks to him many of people got thier bank account emptied
I am laughing so hard that DeviantOllam is randomly there at 23:51 (and one pic before). I recently discovered him and have no idea why he's there but that makes me laugh so hard since he's known for "being places that he should not be" haha.
Same here. I was planning on going to sleep early that day but when I clicked in that article couldn't stopped myself from reading and reading. Great article.
I watched an interview from someone I follow and followed a link tonthis documentary. I'm glad I did. A very impressive young man and a very interesting story.
So what i gathered from here was that the organization behind the Wannacry worm weren't pleased that Marcus found the way to stop the spread at that point, so they dig up his past and leak info about the fact that Marcus contributed to making the Kronos malware, which then reaches the FBI, and the FBI decides to make him a scapegoat cuz they didnt find the proper culprit behind the Kronos and Wannacry malware! Kudos to the judge for taking into account the whole scenario. Glad he did his job perfectly!
An excellent documentary which narrates the whole journey of saying by Greg Hartle, " your temporary circumstances do not have to become your permanent reality".
Maybe...like a scientists who create a virus and create an antidote at the same time...sale it as a medicine for a millions dollar after spread the virus like H1n1...its the same method but different type of virus...How can a hacker.community afford to pay a bail 30k just like that??donation among a hackers are from a hacking the done..obviously

To be clear assault bankers after theyr subprime crisis would ve been the worst that we can do. As efficient as shooting someone canon facing urself. Most of our governments play it safe sneaky, the right way, listening to university eco specialists, the best move.
Um yeah it’s a bit more complicated than that dude... the banks received bail outs because in some cases they were literally hours away from collapse, which would have caused catastrophic damage to the global economy, far, far worse than the fairly mild recession that ultimately occurred. I can pretty much guarantee you that as bad as you may feel about the fact they got bailed out after causing the mess in the first place, you would be in a much worse position today if they didn’t.

"Hey, so can you show us how you would start hacking someone. We want to get cool footage."
Marcus pulls up a text editor and a single terminal.
Filmakers: o_O
Result: 4:00
Don't forget cool wallpaper on other monitor...
Dave Guerrero enter the matrix lol
Filmmakers blown away: fucking hell mate calm down, don't do it again
htop on the left and nano on the right with a random markup file and BAM you're hacking
Uh that could be 6 instances of Wireshark running ya know.
If you are a hacker and your heart is good and in the right place to help the innocent I applaud you and I am envious of your skills!!!
What a great story, being from the UK I remember the attack on our NHS, nice to see the kid who sorted it.
Did he sort it tho? Or was he apart of starting it, he found that domain way to easy, he's known for trying to social engineer banking details off people so he can empty their account (he makes out the banking malware he made was nothing, it wasn't nothing because it went quiet big in the hacking world and everyone was using it, so no thanks to him many of people got thier bank account emptied
This would be an amazing movie!
i thought i recognized that guy in the background at 24:01
thats deviant ollam from a video i saw last week about breaking into buildings and stuff
All thanks to that one good judge with a broad way Perspective, finally Marcus can be free♥️
The rare occasion of a RUclips ad leading to decent content
Love that judge. Pls let the world have more judges like him and more ppl like Marcus. ❤️
I am laughing so hard that DeviantOllam is randomly there at 23:51 (and one pic before). I recently discovered him and have no idea why he's there but that makes me laugh so hard since he's known for "being places that he should not be" haha.
Deviant Ollam and his wife were the ones who paid bail for him and found him a place to live.
I'm glad someone else saw deviant thought i was going batty or i should say crazier great job olam salute to Hitchcock
I just read a great article about this guy in Wired, hadn't heard of him before.
I read it as well🤣🤣
@Zef Really? I'm not subscribed.
@Zef That's too bad, it was a really good story. If you ever get the chance you should definitely read it.
That's what brought me here!
Same here.
I was planning on going to sleep early that day but when I clicked in that article couldn't stopped myself from reading and reading.
Great article.
I love this guy's smile. It makes me wannacry.
Ha ha ha your funny
@@michellesmith5779 his funny wot?
Wonderful documentary and many thanks to the filmmakers!
This documentary is gonna be tight.
I watched an interview from someone I follow and followed a link tonthis documentary. I'm glad I did. A very impressive young man and a very interesting story.
Thanks for viewing 📽️ @richardshalla!
been waiting for this! lets go!
So what i gathered from here was that the organization behind the Wannacry worm weren't pleased that Marcus found the way to stop the spread at that point, so they dig up his past and leak info about the fact that Marcus contributed to making the Kronos malware, which then reaches the FBI, and the FBI decides to make him a scapegoat cuz they didnt find the proper culprit behind the Kronos and Wannacry malware! Kudos to the judge for taking into account the whole scenario. Glad he did his job perfectly!
15:30 "After his release from "jail" NOT "prison". Huge difference. You can't go to prison BEFORE losing at trial.
Guantanamo ?
@@P3C0L4 Guantanamo Bay's a detention camp not a prison.
Probably my favorite part of this documentary is the Deviant photo bomb at 23:52. Fantastic!!
How did you squeeze this into 25 mins?!
Great documentary. Great judge. Thank you Marcus :)
Me too..thank you channel
An excellent documentary which narrates the whole journey of saying by Greg Hartle, " your temporary circumstances do not have to become your permanent reality".
In jail in the US. Makes a call on a 1990s BT payphone. I guess the producers never figured a bunch of phone phreaks would be watching...
I really enjoyed this. Keep up the good work!
and the domain was later sold on godaddy 3 days later for $811 xD
```Quality documentary,i love it.```
*Seriously! Holywood should make this into a movie. Great story with a happy ending.*
ruclips.net/video/6w3wr691uss/видео.html this basically is the movie
@@aidancanoli it's a private video, can u tell me the title?
The main story here is why are Hospitals running outdated versions of windows whilst storing vital data about us
If I remember correctly, it's because Wannacry outdated your version automatically.. that's why he wanted everyone to upgrade their versions.
THIS right here! Where's your cybersecurity audit certificate?
The main story here is, why are hospitals running Windows. FTFY
Use Linux and don't install sketchy packages
@Mr. Box but the issue here windows xp source code got leaked so it only get worse from here out until they start updating their systems
This kinda reminds to of Alan Turing. Helped in a critical part of the history of mankind with technology, ends up disposed
This brought back some Aaron Swartz vibes for me. Glad it had a better outcome and we didn’t lose another of our great minds.
how did he walk out of that court room with a straight face, I would be in tears for sure
Very interesting documentary with so much awareness and knowlegde.
Glad you liked it 🎬 @Basir Ahmad!
Setting a precedent to try someone for making a dangerous item but another that uses said item for harm.
This story is so multi-tiered, it could be fascinating just for that reason, but there is so much more as well.
5 o'clock tuesday morning having a nice sour diesel and coffee in fabulous PUERTO RICO enjoying the vid thank you
Sideshow Bob turns a new leaf and uses his powers for good.
Makes me so teary I might wannacry.
Plot Twist: He created wannacry.
He sold the code to the wannacry hackers.
Well... He sure inspired them.
Pssst. Dont say that on the internet. He is watching you
Maybe...like a scientists who create a virus and create an antidote at the same time...sale it as a medicine for a millions dollar after spread the virus like H1n1...its the same method but different type of virus...How can a hacker.community afford to pay a bail 30k just like that??donation among a hackers are from a hacking the done..obviously
🙄 Grow up.
@@silentkillerhambaallah1216 Better stop drinking water I hear fluoride rots your insides
This was great on many levels - excellent work!
Glad you liked it!
2017 - Wannacry virus
2020 - Corona virus
Haha
We need more of hacker:HUNTER ☺️
It's silly to see that despite having the truth, if you don't have the funds to "prove" them in court, then youre guilty. Love it
Legit man
Does the US have some kind of "free lawyer"?
@@aiosquadron we call them public defenders and often there's a reason they're free.
This was a really good documentary!!!
NHS wasn't targeted specifically, but they made all of the IT staff redundant... Who knew it would come back to bite them.
So glad you got a good judge. Hope the best for your new beginnings
14:25 damn his initial lawyer was pretty bangin’
Knowing that I won't be able to hit on girls like that makes me wannacry
this man is litterally the cyber version of atlas. he literally held the weight of the entire cyber world for god knows how long.
Umm, am I the only one who finds him to be so cute?
he is really fucking cute! if he was gay i'd go for it ngl
Hip to Waste his humility and genuineness add to his attractive presence and super smile. Agree. What a hunk.
Yes
I’m still amazed at the fact people do not back up their stuff. Sure, it used to be a massive pain in the arse, but with so many secure cloud storage solutions, it’s amazing people’s hard drives are still so crammed with critical things...
3:47
the stuff going on on his screen with all that coloured text passing by at the speed it cannot be even read is so fake and so cliche, in every action movie about viruses and hackers you can see almost the same crap
So?
It's for b-roll, what did you expect?
Yeah well.. Drama. Also, the CBP agent had on body armor. Lolwut. Why do you need body armor for an interview where you're basically hanging out in the office all day?
@@130rne they detained him in the airport, anyone could he carrying a gun there even he himself
Your comment is so stupid it's like saying because I only download shit I know I shouldn't have an antivirus
Yeah first thing I do when writing code is open up a terminal with htop to make sure my super sonic typing speed can be handled by my cpu
Love Marcus & the judge! Amazing video
23:58 Deviant Ollam in the background! haha
LOL, was looking for a comment like yours! I'm willing to bet he put up that bond money.
Great video and production. Loved it!
Stealing money with your genius
Government: Spend 10 years in Prison...
Big Banking: am I a joke to you
Goverment: nah .... not your fault.... bad bank .... don't do this again .... slap on wrist....
Bad bank here is a bailout ....don't worry
Ofc man that called power, Solo guy can be punished, massive corporation holding billions of ur citizens currency its another deal, specialy into a worldwide open market with no overall agrements, allowing thoses entities to re-established themself somewhere else. And by doing it counter the punishment they would ve suffer from. Ur logic is not accurate to thoses importants factors. U can't see this as a basic 1 to 1 factor relaying One person to a bank.
To be clear assault bankers after theyr subprime crisis would ve been the worst that we can do.
As efficient as shooting someone canon facing urself.
Most of our governments play it safe sneaky, the right way, listening to university eco specialists, the best move.
Um yeah it’s a bit more complicated than that dude... the banks received bail outs because in some cases they were literally hours away from collapse, which would have caused catastrophic damage to the global economy, far, far worse than the fairly mild recession that ultimately occurred.
I can pretty much guarantee you that as bad as you may feel about the fact they got bailed out after causing the mess in the first place, you would be in a much worse position today if they didn’t.
This guys is all smiles
that deviant ollam guy gets everywhere haha
lol legend
I mean... afterall: that is literally his job.
I believe all people have the capability to change. The person I am today is very different from the person I was last year. Glad that he learned his lesson. Sometimes we need everything to go wrong so that we can grow from it.
I would sure like to know:
1.) The age at which MH sold his malware,
2.) The location (country) of MH and the buyer at that time, and
3.) How US law got any jurisdiction on the matter.
Remember, lack of jurisdiction can be noticed at ANY time.
Also remember, the FBI as a whole can be a tendentious asshole.
Awesome documentary thanks ❤
Why shut down any Emergency services who ever created the wanna cry script could have killed someone
I think that was the idea
The doctors and nurses would have been in such a rush to get the system back online, theyd be okay spending a few thousand
I read the WIRED article and this story should be turned into a movie!
So I am curious how they found out about the code transaction in his past. Someone might have sold that information I guess?
i thought the same thing, this shitty documentary left more questions instead of answers.
Because government agencies keep 'people of interest' lists that are huge, and automatically monitored. Take a proper look into what Edward Snowden blew the whistle on.
Online privacy is a thin veil of bullshit, and VPNs while useful, are not a silver bullet.
@@literate-aside vpn has higher chance of selling your imformation than your isp soo it depends which one
@@kacperukaszewicz3034 Of course, a VPN just shifts the burden of trust from the ISP to your VPN. Wasn't really the point I was making though.
There *are* those that seem viable; PIA has had their 'no logs' policy tested in a court of law, twice. As promised, even under subpoena, they could produce nothing that would identify or incriminate their customers. You can even pay them in crypto or gift cards.
Hackers tipped them off to f with him as payback for working against their fellows that made wannacry or for changing his colors (aka. selling out) or both.
Wow! Great documentary! keep it up! Subscribed!
