    In this documentary, we explore the story of Arion Kurtaj, a nerdy teenage hacker who led one of the most notorious data extortion groups. His story is fascinating because, unlike many teenage hackers, he didn't squander the millions he had allegedly stolen on luxury watches or designer clothes. Instead, he chose to use the money to pay off employees and purchase exploits to commit bigger and bigger hacks. He wanted access to what companies wanted to protect from the public the most so he could leak it online no matter the consequences.

    23:12 "bailed for an undisclosed sum"
    Just a minor correction for you - in the UK it's up to the police whether or not you're bailed, money doesn't ever come into it (nobody pays anything). The only reasons you wouldn't be granted bail are if the police thought you weren't likely to turn up to court, or if they thought it might be dangerous to the public if they didn't keep you in.

    • @carlv8415
      @carlv8415 Před 5 měsíci +11

    Everyone tends to forget the power of Social Engineering... I have seen a few examples of how someone incapable of hacking remote networks was able to slip in through cracks formed by relations with a person on the inside. I know one hacker on a Minecraft server, after being locked out of a server, created an entirely false identity that they used to become an admin of the server, and eventually got the details they needed to suppress reports of their hacks, which they then sprung into action at some point. The Minecraft hacker is the first real-world example I can recall of social engineering being used by hackers.

    Hello i was a former member of a local hacker group(my role is often web hacking) in my country we are fairly known because we been in the tv news before the primary reason why we disband groups very often is to often cover our tracks after doing something risky most of the time we dont even actually disband we just go under a new name with the same members under a new alias of course i cant represent our population because there are those notorious group that keep their very same group as a prestige or as bragging rights

    Honestly the guy running doxbin is the real legend. Imagine utterly destroying and humiliating the guy who went on to be a major nuisance to multi billion dollar companies. Bro even went back to try and get help later on

    Imagine if a company took him under their wing, taught him, learnt from him and continuously monitored what he was doing. It might keep him out of trouble and be useful.
    Currently he's a directionless black hat hacker. Give him purpose and a salary and transition him to grey hat and then to white hat. A lot of nuisance children like this turn out to be the best adults in their field.

    He's going to be hacking computers, mri machines, and hospital beds now. Someone will walk in a room and see someone bed going up and down without logically why. 😂😂😂😂
