How you get Hacked: what attackers use today 

I'm 100% safe with McAfee.

Don't forget kids, the real Goku won't ask for your parents credit card information.

I wish some white hats made "fake malwares". Like you open some random ".exe" / random mail like the BBC mail you showed, but instead of hacking you, it opens a scary message saying "You could have been hacked" and explains how it would have done it and how to proctect yourself from this.

The best protection. Trust no random shit being sent to you which you do not expect to recieve. If a company or a person you know seems to have messaged or mailed you. Call them and verify the email sender address and content etc. If you dont know the company / person it is shit you dont need in your life = delete, block and ignore.

Company I'm working at, sends us phishing emails and if you click it, you'll have to do a 1 hour online training. I must day it's working and now I have PTSD

[Switches off computer and goes to live in the woods...]

the fact that the ad blocker got installed by an ad made me lose it

I swear that "System hacked" page design was taken from a video game but I can't remember which.

We an employee that refused to report entering her credentials in that file and 3 weeks later it was too late we got hit by ransomware

The spoofed email, in my limited experience with them, isn't foolproof. If you look at the message header information you can usually see that it wasn't actually sent from whatever is in the From address. I have yet to encounter one with the header information spoofed, that I know of. I did have one suspicious email, which came from what appeared to be and actual companies email server. I forwarded email to the companies support email address and told them it looked like their email server may have been hacked. They said the email wasn't legit. I don't know if they were hacked or if someone may have actually spoofed the email header info.

2:40 correction: the social media platforms ARE the malware THEMSELVES

Very informative. Thank you for posting 😊

Are you going to talk about Kaspersky getting banned?

Thanks for the information. If there is anyone who really deserves to get some recognition and appreciation for all the work and time spent on informing it's followers it's you. Congratulations on the 500K!

I showed this to my 11 year old.

DMARC configurations helps but it isn't the silver bullet. When you get into it, one quickly finds out the practical setting is "soft fail" which means someone spoofing your domain will be sent to recipients junk box instead of the trash. This gives employees the opportunity to see the email and from that they make the decision on what happens next.

simple solution: only use pigeons and ravens for communication

I live when videos start straight to the point

can u make a vid about anti-virus and firewalls tier list

Tell us about dynamic/behavior monitoring in open source world please.

Great video as a reminder of how you can be attacked. Suggestion: Do a movie review of "Blackhat" with Chris Hemsworth!! Maybe a few other cyber movies would be fun as well. It would be interesting to hear from you what is real and not and why! Thanks

I absolutely loved this video, I was wondering the steps that we should take BEFORE we get hacked, to fully proof ourselves

I know you've touched on Windows Security couple of times, but what do you think; does a casual user who only browses RU-vid and check email need a paid AV? Or is the built-in security enough.

If you install random cracked software and games you might as well use a VM where you store no passwords or data for it and keep your main system clean

Crazy, as I watch this I get a message saying my package wasn't delivered because there was no address on it and had a link at the bottom of the message . Blocked

What happens when the timer runs out on that system hacked message?

Thought someone was banging on my door in the beginning lol

So basically, it's just Human Error.

monitor the network traffic in the upcoming vids

did you hear about the Kaspersky ban in the US? Opinions?

are apple pcs safe from these phishing emails ? I'm new to all this and was under the assumption that when a mass email attack is created it can only be executable on a single type of OS

Will you make a video on Kaspersky getting banned from the US?

I don’t like when strangers grab my cookies !!! 😂

We had an issue where the hackers set up fake accounts impersonating top level managers in our university and was ask to check over the attached reports etc. literally swapped a letter in the email address so it was hard to spot

i was on a sketch site and it was opening new tabs every time i clicked. then one time i missed the x and it opened like 20 tabs at once and made em move. then they all went away. i left the site and cleared my history could i possibly have a virus? I'm very paranoid.

Can you look into the copy fix malware that's been plaguing some wordpress-made websites?

He goes through it a little too fast to help beginners, though it contains useful information.

I've read recently, in USA they have banned Kaspersky

Simplest way to prevent your computer from getting hacked (Windows only) Just run any Video Game in the background that has Kernel Level Anticheat. 10/10 never get hacked. Because the hacker's access is immediately detected by Anticheat as malicious.

Tip: just send all your email to the junk folder first

A hacker could put you on their network and hack you. They can register your home to their domain and hack everything in your house that has wifi. They can install wifi cameras in your house and watch you.

Pls make a video about kaspersky ban

And the internet provider in cahoots with malicious hackers to send malicious windows updates.

you should focus on methods of verifying true message sender when message is suspicious.

I miss ZERO sleep knowing Norton has me

man only people that fall for this stuff is like kids, and old people.

Hello friends, I did a fool and I installed a plugin with crack 2 days ago, but although there was no virus, my instagram went away today (I got it back) and I changed the passwords of my computer formats and main e-mails in the morning, but when I opened the exe, they sold the items from steam now because they accessed all the cookies or tokens and sent a message to everyone from discord. What do you recommend as a solution, if I change the password of all my accounts one by one, will the problem be solved? Or did a virus that didn't even go with the format entered my computer?

I legit ignore 90% of the emails at work. If something is super important it will be brought up on a meeting or a teams chat. I have most things filtered out except for emails from the boss and grandboss along with IT all of which gets filtered a bolded so it becomes obvious who it is coming from. There have legit been internal PEN testing where I completely missed the email that was sent to me to because again I skip most of what comes into my inbox.

Hi,my collegues lately are saying that you can get virus by just simply watching videos(autoplay on hover,previews,shorts,videos) on youtube even without clicking on anything. I know question might be stupid but i am still wondering

Keep in mind malware doesn't come just in .exe formats. DLLs can be as dangerous.

U should do a vid on the kaspersky ban and alternatives for those who have it

Now that Kaspersky's is being banned here in the US, which would be a better option? Bitdefender or Mywarebytes?

I won't try to trick you, can I have your bank login info please? I did say please.

Osint really got involved and got attention, bad for the PUPs, the PUPs are like puppies, you love them, you make them monster. Sometimes you have to be drama queen for the pups :(

How about rootkits? How to uninstall them?

Maybe you could do a video or a live stream of the proverbial fool. Where you just go click on random shit until the virtual machine shuts down.😂

I'm sorry, but none of these apply to my laptop which has OpenBSD, neither to my gaming machine which runs Alpine Linux.

Can you do a video comparison of kaspersky free vs bitdefender free vs windows defender?

Can you please tell the method of spoofing the email

Help 4/6 of my precious hard drives are self replicating viruses everywhere I managed to unbrick my zenfone 3 the other day by flashing like 50 different zip file combinations till I got it but I had to take everything off my computer i plug in for it to transfer on a new temp os and i can't lose any more data I have terabytes of precious files I'm too scared to unmount another drive and even run anti-virus against it any advice help

Thank you!!!

What's your take on the US banning Kaspersky?

What is the solution.

Nothing about Kaspersky?

Even though? I think they want to play hackerman

They always use stupidity.

The internet is amazing

Could you do something on android vunerabilities.

Mac people: "I don't understand why doesn't everyone use Mac." Windows people: "How do I open my email?" Linux people: "yeah yeah. I'd use BSD if I could." Android people: "Why don't I receive stuff from iPhone users correctly?" iPhone people: "check out this video of my drunk friend falling." Windows Phone people: "How do I open my email?" Amiga people: "Ha! You only have 8 bit sound."

My virus never escape my VM

the way I'm paranoid, Sundar Pichai himself in bone and flesh could come to me and say that I must insert my password to recover my gmail data or something and I would still doubt it and ask questions and do 10 checks before I even click anything

I love cookies

How do I check and confirm I have a info stealer or not

2:40 cheats and gaming

don't upload to virus total

These hackers are super idiot savants. They shouldn't be trifled with.

@2:04 shut up exe

keep up

hacker or bbc, both nefarious

AMD pay attention.

oh sh**

10 hour work day 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Me go throw pc out

Bro, I hope you're joking. McAfee sucks bro

LOL You are SO out of touch with how hacking works. I don't mean to disrespect, but this is child's play.

miTm Traceroute shows my Gateway Router then some Random private ip then the isp; with that said; I is totally targeted and i am going to www.youtube.com can have the ads thumbnail videos etc in the website that is now transcoded by the attacker with backdoor payloads considering i am going to a transcoded https like verson of youtube, how do i prevent that from happening?

My friend got one of those files that require email and password. So what he did is he made a script that submits random data to bloat the hacker's database. Good shit.

This cookie thing howver it works I think its a specific format of file that the stealer well steals Couldn't one write some code to inject or append their cookies for a specific session to include their own malware that identities the ip address it was sent to? Kinda like hey i found your cookie jar.. Sorry i have zero actual hacking skills but my thinking has had our security team laughing at me 60% of the time and the rest checking if such tools or methods exist or could work. Any actual ppl with IT skills would be appreciated for my next great idea 💡❤

Great video as always. Would you maybe be willing to make one about alternatives now that Kaspersky gets banned in different places. I always used it and in my opinion (and seeing your tests) its the best throughout, especially among the free ones.

I've seen a malware that injects js code encrypted as base64 through emails, but the catch is: you just need to open the email, the encrypted JS does the rest. No link, no response, nothing, just opening the email will inject the code.

1:11 Sir/Madam 💀

Seeing a twitter DM made me remember that I dodged a bullet with someone who claimed they made a social website and DMed me for obvious reasons. The other thing is I report videos of cheats and cracks when spotted.

I'm getting in to cybersecurity this is getting out of control

2:55, really @RU-vid? "Meet Ukrainian Women"?

Hey leo i saw your testing of windows defender while using defender Ui. I was wondering if you could do a video testing with defender ui again while not connected to the internet so we can see if it boosts protection when not connected to the internet. Thanks leo!

If I do a full reinstall of windows will it remove viruses?

Could you please do a video like this but extend it so it would incorporate the whole context that include consumer-grade user security? So we can learn not only how we are hacked but also how and what our lines of defenses act and can do for us, so that we can learn to defend ourselves and set up a healthy security hygiene on our systems and network, and be able to recognize a healthy secure network and pc environment, because I honestly don’t even know if everything I’ve done to achieve this is even effective or not, and have no idea how to determine this in any way. Could it please incorporate password/account security also. There is not a single guide or explanation that covers the topic as a whole and I believe many people would want to see something like this and that is an increasingly necessity in this time.

Additionally, the bbc URL is sus, because BBC doesn't use that domain.
