Remember Australia is the origin of WiFi and many other advanced ideas. We may have the likes of characters depicted in Crocodile Dundee but we also have a few advanced nerds.
Just to clarify for those who aren't aware... A wireless local access network (WLAN) was invented and patented by scientists at the CSIRO, Australia's national science agency, building on earlier work to interpret radio signals.
@@cbisme6414 And get from the USA Companies alone around 20 to 30 million a year in Patent Revenue from Licensing, They tried to get around it but they lost the Patent Dispute, Similar Issue happened with Bluetooth
@@DarthAwar Im not even shocked at this stagethat the US fucked us over, after all its not the 1st time
and the crucial black box recorders that are now on all commercial and private airplanes were also invented by Australians. These black box recorders play a very important role in investigating and solving plane accidents and crashes, which in turn they help in improving airplane safety.
They said the AFP and FBI created a “Telco”. “Telco” is short for “telecommunications company”. The AFP and FBI work hand in hand. Keep up the great work Ryan. Craig - Australia 😊
What he said 👍
was going to comment myself buy you got there first lmao
ahhhh thanks Craig!
I believe he said Australians initiated the telco scam creation over beers!
Don't forget, over a beer lol
What I love about it is not only did they trick them all into using the app so the could access information used to catch them, but they charged a subscription fee so the crims are paying to get done 😂
That's pretty funny, but I suppose it also makes it more realistic.
Got to get the money back for the service that's been provided. lol
That might’ve been enough money to pay for all the cops and their overtime throughout the sting, LOL.
@@Ausmerica The phones themselves weren't cheap, and then cost $2,000 for a 6 month contract
@@Kirra-Oz $2,000 for a 6 month contract per phone and they signed up 12,000.
So yeah ~$48 million a year
i love how a current affair is classed as a small thing on youtube
It is a running Joke from Ryan. Even if it has 10m subscribers, he says the same thing...
even most Aussies that see it on TV dont take it completely seriously
Australia has really good cyber security personnel that are constantly being head hunted by the U.S. This operation was a good example of the quality of legal “hackers” that Australia produces.
We need top cyber security people because China has been known to intercept government communications and disrupt our national intelligence systems
Yes, there's one in my family, he prefers to stay Australian!
@@jenniferharrison8915 Same here but travels regularly to the U.S. to participate in joint projects.
An Aussie police operation took down some hackers mainframe and took it over to track them and everyone else. We don't need that app. But you can't fix stupid I guess.
What a nightmare it was having Scott Morrision as Prime Minister. The absolute worst we ever had.
Now we have Albo as our current nightmare.
I think a really funny part of this is there are a bunch of US laws that make intercepting communications of US citizens difficult, warrants n such. But it's A-OK if the Aussies do it to Americans and then tell them the hot gossip.
five eyes - watching all of us
No- this would have been carried out with US authorities if it impinges on US areas. We're not savages!!😅
The app only spied on the deep web...if you are on the deep web...you have already swum out and among the sharks...you don't get any protection for that....even in the US!
Damn. I was enjoying forgetting that ScoMo existed.
he is where he belongs now ... over in the USA with Trumps friends
I would prefer scomo compared to albo who is the worst fucking prime minister Australia has ever had
@@cherylrepici3396 You can't be serious? ScoMo literally is the worst we ever had. Number 2 is Abbott. Turnbull is probably number 3 since he did nothing but polish his PM plaque.
Me too, I could happily go the rest of my life without seeing or hearing of Scummo ever again.
@@RandomStuff-he7lu What fucking choice do we have at least scomo had the balls to question the Chinese government about covid, Albo and his government are fucking joke and you are sticking up for albo he is a fucking moron
AFP stands for Australian Federal Police, it is our federal law enforcement agency, they investigate crimes on the federal level and help protect our national security. They are basically the Aussie equivalent of your American FBI. Here in Australia we also have ASIO (Australian Security Intelligence Organisation) which is our national security agency that's mainly responsible for protecting our national security from terrorism espionage etc & collecting intelligence. But ASIO do not have the power to enforce laws or arrest people so they work very closely with the AFP who do enforce the laws. Sometimes AFP and ASIO collectively are like the FBI.
Except more badass
Just another terrorist organisation.
they also have more power than state police they don't need warrants if the AFP are after you your fuked
They are one step more than the FBI as they are also by invitation inserted into other countries conflict zones to keep the peace where the local police are unable to do so. But not not in a war zone peace keeping that requires our military. They also operate with ASIO our domestic security intelligence, ASIS our international intelligence service and our signals directorate
I’m not reading that sh*t
One of the first thing I was taught in my Psych and Health Promotion uni degree was that "Privacy is and illusion..."
yup absolutely, you gotta keep it simple, always assume they're onto you and act accordingly. humans are funny creatures and very single minded when it comes to routines and habits, to the point of blindness in some cases when confronted with change. the police were no different, i noticed when they raided the house, early days, they come ripping into the driveway and jump out attacking their target, moving forward all high on adrenaline, and never searching the area behind their car. no need, they conquered that already. i've seen dealers talk on the phone like they're chatting about sports without a care in the world. tried telling one but oh no, they wouldnt bother with meee, its not T VEEE, 280 recorded calls they got em for. off topic a bit but the psych reference reminded me of some interesting aspects of the trade. not meth, horrible drug.
A current Affair is Australia’s news programme seen nightly for approx. 30 years.
It’s a running joke Ryan has to call big companies on CZcams small channels. He’ll go even further when he sees a channel with millions of subscribers _“be sure to support this small channel”_
Aussie have and can come up with incredible inventions. It takes a different mindset and perspective on things.
Telco is short for telecommunications company.
Yep sometimes ryans a bit thick🤣🤣
@@alwynemcintyre2184 A bit? that's putting it lightly.
Just what I was checking. :)
Awww, give him a break. He probably just misheard it and the closest he could get in his vocabulary was “taco”. Presumably they don’t use the term “telco” in the USofA. Or at least in Indiana.
AFP is like your FBI
There is also an incredible operation that caught the killer of a 13yr old boy…Daniel Morcombe, he was just waiting at a bus stop on the Sunshine Coast in Qld.
Telco company, Ryan. Short for Telecommunications.
“AUSSIE’S ARE GENIUSES” (in thumbnail). 10/10 apostrophe usage 🤔
AFP stands for Australian Federal Police. A telco company, not taco! 😄 Ryan you hit the nail on the head when you were talking about the reason people used drugs, that it makes them feel good.
And it relieves the depression of a shitty life for a short while. I have seen how otherwise intelligent people have a "taste" and find it so enjoyable that they keep going back despite knowing that addiction is inevitable.
The Australian Federal Police is a police force that deals with federal, as opposed to state, issues. They also provide, under contract, the Australian Capital Territory police force. "Telco" - telecommunications company.
Quite proud of our law enforcement
A Current Affair is a news show which has been going on for several DECADES. It's not a small youtube channel
Sometimes Ryan ... just sometimes ... well often actually .. you rely on your American way of life as you know it to try to understand the Aussie way of life ... The result being that you end up skipping down the path with a totally different. outcome./ understanding. .
This is over 2 years old as that tv host and the Prime Minister have since retired from those positions.
See if you can find any videos of the FBI bust cos it would have all gone down at pretty much th he same time around the world.
I can remember thinking how dumb these guys were to be be caught out like this and how brilliantly the police did around the world to set this all up! It took them several years to get enough information to do all the raids. They literally did all the Aussie raids at the same time and caught a heap of criminals!
"Prime Minister has since retired" - or, "thrown out like yesterdays rubbish."
@@glenngarrett8785 Yep he was single handedly responsible for giving us the worst Australian government in our history - the current Labor party government.
Trust " Scotty from marketing " to lumber up on stage and stumble into the spotlight to get his big smug head on camera and rub himself up with vicarious cudos coming from someonelse's genius, long and hard, detailed work.
I'm wondering if he is still involved with the criminals at the top of that insidious Hillsong Church Corporation business.😁 🎥
@@vtbn53ALBO fooled everyone and it the most damaging, disgusting divisive PM WE HAVE EVER HAD.. I must mention I always noticed albo talked with his mouth clenched like he was in SPEED.. now he’s better and opens his mouth but SO MANY TIMES, especially in the beginning, I noticed he behaved exactly like someone on speed.. he couldn’t pronounce words clearly because of his jaw being stiff.. it’s hilarious.. but he’s such a damaging figure for Australia..
The Muslim organised crime used that app.. the mafia didn’t use it much.. a few did, BUT NOT THE OLD GUARD.. so that side of organised crime laughed..
Never underestimate the power of the taco Ryan :) .. he was actually saying Telco, as in telecommunications company.
Ryan I wish you would wait till the end b4 you put your 2 cents worth in. This is interesting I didn't even know about it till now
"A Current Affair" is not a " Small and up-and-coming CZcams channel", rather it is a CZcams channel from one of Australia's major TV networks, the 7 network.
9 network actually, but yeah - it’s big
Lol, I thought he was sarcastic 😂😅
He was being sarcastic- he says that every time he does a big media reaction 😂
dodgy bastards channel
Fun fact, a current affair is a news program. Been around for ages.
That's overstating it a bit. I may have started out that way, but they rarely cover anything more newsworthy than a shonky tradie these days.
@@neilt6480 pretty typical these days 😂
Morrison hasn’t been PM for about 3 years now
2 years next month.
Yay 😊
I was triggered hearing Scomo - The Minister for Everything speak 😟 That snarky voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard 😒 😬
Thank God he is gone..
Haha oh I do feel sorry for you trying to understand our accent. You might have to put subtitles on 😂 When I was in the US I spent a large portion of time writing or typing out certain words on my phone so I could be understood.
was in the us a few years back . i was booking into a motel the receptionist was an older austrian lady i told her 5 times i would like to book a room 2 single beds. she had no idea of any word i spoke. i handd over to my american mate he asked the same and was understood first go. it beats me i have a very average aussie accent. !
@@paulrichardson5892 I am baffled because we are speaking the same language as them!! I guess we are accustomed to it because of tv and social media. When I was there I was asked so, so often if I was from France. Mate… I am literally speaking the same language, how is it French? 🤣🤣🤣
I just bloody love the fact that they were able to partially fund the operation by having the crims pay for a subscription, that's fkn genius haha.
If I was the government I wouldn’t tell anyone. Keep the app open and the criminals wondering how they got caught
Police have never been known for having achieved high educational honors or even the smarts to complete an apprenticeship. They really employ tattooed low achievers.
Except when you have to go to court.
It would’ve been used as evidence, so the hat would’ve been out of the bag pertaining to the app anyway.
*TELCO* . As in "telecommunications".
Just about to watch this video, and I am sure I will not be the first to say it….A Current Affair is a major Australian TV news show that has been around since the 1980’s……I saw it 5 nights a week as a child…….but don’t tell my mum…..I wasn’t supposed to be watching it! Lol
Taco 😅😂😂 Ohhhhh Ryan lol ....Telco
One thing being under the radar of the local Police here, but once your under the radar of in my state of New South Walse, is the Raptor squad, or/and with the AFP's radar you can never hide they watch your every move. When they do their raids, they do multiple raids all at once.
An area not far from me got raided when this went down 4 people are at one His Majesties Special Resorts, along with many others they raided.
A friend lives on 10 acres and was woken up by her dog barking. She looked outside and saw a line of swat police moving quietly down the neighbour's paddock. She went out the front. Road blocked, heavy police trucks and more police. Turns out her neighbours were manufacturing meth and their phones had been tapped for wuite a while. Explained the trucks coming and going at 3 in the morning, but apparently neighbours reserved, but polite.
Happy Arvo Ryan! 🙋👍 There are plenty of interesting jobs available in our armed forces and policing right now! An international sting facilitated by a fugitive, use a thief to catch a thief, clever! It's so good to know that people were saved in all ways! You never know, what 'they' may know! 😉 We are so rescourceful! You may be able to access videos of our military SASR, or Commando, training! 🤔
Don't need AI, don't even need to read the messages. You can derive a lot just from tracking who is talking to whom, and when.
Well, it was Los Pollos Hermanos where things went down in Breaking Bad - why not a taco restaurant? 😄
Hahaha A Current Affair, is just one of our news channels put on CZcams....
He said "Telco" which is short for Telecommunications Company.
Hi Ryan....I would love to hear your reaction to a few iconic Aussie songs. Just to start you off...
1...I was only 19
2...redback on the toilet seat
3...home among the gumtrees
Hey Ryan, he was saying, a small TELCO company, a.k.a. small telecommunications company
Hi Ryan 😊 A Current Affair has been on TV here for decades.
"Small and upcoming... " 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is the Nine Network's Feature News show (for the bigger stories/more in depth look at a subject), with Nine being one of our 3 main commercial broadcasters
Re: "the most weaponized swat team", well in a round about way, they weaponized smart phones, but yeah I guess you could call it "the most stealthy surveillance operation" instead.
A 'Current Affair' is the Australian television network 9's Australia wide weekly report on leading current news stories, not just a social media site.
Just to let you know, A Current Affair is not an upcoming small CZcams channel. It is in fact one of, if not "the" biggest current affairs TV program in Australia. It is broadcast on channel 7 directly after the 6pm Nightly News every Weeknight (Mon to Fri) in EVERY capital city in Every state and territory in Australia, and has done for as long as I can remember, and I'm 49.
Umm, it's on Channel NINE...
@@rickpratchett2986 OH, Yeah, Bwahaha Cheers
Irrelevant to this particular story however, but ACA are all a bunch of woke lefties as well.
Submersible boats are the thing now. They look like a submarine just sailing at the surface of the water.
Has anyone told him about “Telco”… for the thousandth time!
AFP = Australian Federal Police or basically the Australian version of the FBI in the US. We also have a Special Forces unit in our Army called the Special Air Service Regiment = SASR or more commonly the SAS. The general Police force is a State based system, so each State has their own forces.
And the Federal Government has other agencies that few people know about. They don't need a warrant to search and they are able to walk into any business and record/copy any data.
Your phones are on, even when they are turned off😉
It was genius.
I find never knowing that someone is trying to kill me much scarier then potential privacy suits
You can fight privacy in court you can't fight when your cold and dead
They weren't saying 'taco', they said 'telco' company. Short for telecommunications company 😊❤🇦🇺
If you actually look at what Op. Ironside did - it was targeted, simple and hugely effective. Happened a few years ago BTW yet was instrumental in uncovering/overtly capturing world wide crime for evidedentiary purposes. There are better vids out there that explain the phone App and how the phones were distributed for Op. Ironside.
This must be an old clip if Tracey Grimshaw's the presenter.
Your observation about privacy is on point. It's hard to understand how the police could infiltrate to that extent , but they would need to do everything on a legal basis, otherwise the courts wouldn't uphold any convictions.
When the subjects had to download an (apparently) illegal app using the dark web, I reckon all privacy gloves are off
@@jacquimott386 Unfortunately for us law abiding citizens, what you reckon (and I agree with) and what a court of law will accept are often two different things.
AFP is the Australian Federal Police ... like the FBI
Possibly closer to national guard.. idk
Don’t forget the first computer hacker in the world was an Australian.
8:25 TELCO as in telecommunications
"Telco".
Telephone Communications
(i.e. AT&T, Sprint, etc)
Telco means telephone company.
A Current Affair is the CNN of Australian media embellishment ... as an Aussie I'd caution you as seeing everything as it's fully depicted and insinuated
AFP is the Federal Gov Police. Each State has their own Police forces as well. The Australian Capital Territory is policed by Federal Police.
8:19 Teleco Company meaning Telecommunications Company.
‘Telco’ company. It’s short for ‘telecommunications’.
“Telco”, not taco. It’s Australian for telecommunications company.
It means a Telecommunication platform.
Not taco, telco - short for telecommunications 😊
If you are not breaking the law they wont have any interest . This coordinated sting is protecting people in both of our countries.
This was done 2 years ago and is on CZcams [ operation ironside ] all segments
He said Telco... It means telephone communications in Australia.
Telco means Telecommunications aka Phone Company!
Not 🌮 but 📱
Not “Taco” but “Telco”, as in “Telecommunications”. You effectively became a Telco company…. As in you became a mini Telstra or AT&T. Yes… yes we did.
Yes, yes we are geniuses, it makes us have a happy arvo.
This is a bit dated, Scot Morrison was PM. Since then, we've had a few shakeups in our Government Departments, and in organised crime on every level. Will it ever go away? You know the answer to that one. It's like trimming the garden. For a season.
Telco Company meaning a telecommunications company.
Mmmm … gotta get going … have to make some calls.
AFP is similar in scope to FBI/ATF in USA
He said Telco Company. Telco (Telecommunications)
Telco, an abbreviation for Telecommunications.
The operation ended and the raids happened when they did, because an ethical hacker got his hands on the phone and wrote an article about some of the questionable security in the phone.
Oops.
Telco company... not taco company... 😂😂😂 Telco = Telecommunications.
Australian Federal Police AFP is akin to the FBI but most AFP do have to wear Uniforms if not Under Cover!
G'day mate Ryan!!! ❤️ from South Australia!!! 🇦🇺
All the work years ago making Australia the "clever country" is paying off in all kinds of ways. It appears that if you're a criminal, technology may not always be your friend!😅
There really is an app for everything. Furthermore, the best ideas have been formed over a drink for millennia.
Mate, Telco company means telecommunication company in Australia 🇦🇺…
'Telco' means telecommunication
Yeah "AFP" (Australian Federal Police) are the "highest ranking" police force (for want of a better definition) Sort of similar to the FBI in that their jurisdiction is the entire country and they investigate the highest level of criminal activity, nationally and internationally. If the "Feds" are on your case you know that it's serious.
Telco is short for a telecom company.
A Current Affair is a Television show.
AFP = Australian Federal Police. Roughly equivalent to US FBI.
Caught by a taco .. How embarrassing .. LMAO
They didn't create a taco company, they created a telco (telecommunications) company.
I love my privacy, but I am not doing anything wrong, so if messages to my mum, daughter, friends etc are interesting to anyone who wants to invade my privacy, I don’t really care….I cant get in trouble for inviting my mum to dinner this weekend! Lol for the person invading, it will be like watching ‘paint dry’…..very boring…unless you get to live it too!
AFP would be the same as the FBI.
TELCO Telecommunications company...
Ryan, He was saying "Telco" company. That is a TELecommunications COmpany TEL CO. Cheers John
Isn’t it TEleCOmmunications? Otherwise it’d be a tautology like PIN number & ATM machine.
(Although we usually say it without adding “company”.)
@@judithstrachan9399 TELCO: A contraction of the term “telephone company.” It generally refers to the local-exchange carrier.
Ah. So it IS a tautology.
@@judithstrachan9399 Judith...............Not at all. My reply is VERY clear, not a tautology.
@@anzacday4141 Hi, John. True, your reply wasn’t, but Ryan kept saying “company” when “co” is already part of telco.
You’re right, Ry is wrong. It happens.
Sorry, I’m a grammar nzzi
