The Man Who Angered Anonymous And Lived To Regret It 

bro that's crazy and unheard of especially by the cartel

@@my.basement.is.full. yeah dude it really is, and the car telling question was the Zetas and they were the game changers in Mexico as far as the evolution of how they're now paramilitary groups in nature and structure like that really in my opinion just truly show me more than any thing else that these are some powerful people

@@my.basement.is.full. and it's 100% true it was in a academic book call The Executioner's Men and the book is really a breakdown of the Zetas and their whole story but it's very very detailed and that was one of the stories that they talked about in the book, George Grayson is the author he's an authority of the cartels in a way

Having your public information revealed when you're supposed to be an unidentifiable sicario is very dangerous. It gives your enemies a name and family to target, and the police/feds. Also, not that I know anything about the situation directly.. But, the cartel use online banking, and crypto exchanges. Venezuela legalized Bitcoin and there are plenty of ATMs to convert down there. If you call up a cartel boss and tell him that his organizations billion dollar account(s) will be drained before he can give another order, he's going to listen. Sparing 1 human for keeping a few billion plus your henchmen unnamed is a very small price to pay.. And if they refused, what are they gonna do? They can't track us, or their money.. Or call law enforcement for help getting it back... They know they shouldn't have had it to begin with. The only option is comply.

Bro that's crazy, I didn't hear anything loosely related to that

If he hadn't claimed to have the identities of these people (some of which actually do work for Intelligence Agencies both private, and public), I really doubt anyone would have gave two shits. This was just their way of educating a know-it-all.

@@wolfrainexxxhonestly i hate how these type of ppl promote Cyber Security as a quick search… it takes more than that

@@anunknownperson4018 most of anonymous are kids trying to act like Edgy Hackerman though.

@@anunknownperson4018 I also hate how people overestimate it thinking that it’s lines of complex green matrix text rolling down the screen… I mean I qualified in cyber security not long back and even though it’s common sense for many people… genuinely the most common ways of getting information is just being persistent as fuck to sift for valuable information regarding a target/victim until data representing vulnerabilities are found and then begin to exploit that, majority of hackers and events that happen aren’t using USB tools and programming to access stuff, just a lot of patience and some adequate knowledge of where start looking in respect to said target.

That’s not entirely true. They would come after you if you mess with them for sure, but they also %100 go after those who threaten the freedom of information sharing on the internet. Any individual or organization who in any way gets involved in censorship could be targeted. They sometimes do things just for fun too (called for the lulz,) such as messing with a racist internet radio host or targeting celebrities who respond in funny ways. One operation I found interesting was when they hacked a virtual pet site because the site had used the likeness of one of their image memes called Longcat. They brought the site down and the owner quickly removed the image.

​@lacountess so they are like bees. Don't mess with them or else the consequence will be immeasurable.

's cute that he thought a group of the most notoriously paranoid, anonymity & security conscious people in the world (hackers in general) might be that easy to nab. and believed the orbital supporters who claimed to be part of their leadership... because *obviously* a group that's full of anarchists would have a heirarchy :D

@@KerbalSpacey That and a little bit of luck lol

Yeah that how it’s done though. My uncle was a CIA “Clerk” for 12 years and I’ve been on Interpol since the 90’s. Every single person has a family member on Facebook or Instagram or Tiktok. In fact this is how Law Enforcement in America track targets today. Why go to The DMV or Courts for records? (Records that already open and available to all) No, today the CIA, Pentagon, DOJ, FBI all check social media first and foremost.....because that’s where people are.

@@sjs9698 well you nailed it with “The Anarchists.” Anarchy is a highly individualistic ideal. Simply put Anarchy is Liberation for The Self. So it’s very easy to pair Anarchy with individualism. I was around when “Anonymous” actually started. Way back in the day on mIRC in Quake Chat rooms Anonymous was born. In the later 2000’s The CIA took control of “Anonymous” which was very easy because Anarchy does have so many problems with Hierarchy. It was very easy to cause division in the community and take over Ops and Community direction with the whole “Nobody speaks for Anonymous, we speak for ourselves” sloganism. Since around 2010 Anonymous has just been a front for The CIA to cause Coups and Color Revolution in Nations that America wants to go to War in. Mainly for resources. Now sure normal folks get caught up in the Ops. But anyone attempting to actually have control or go against the goals of The CIA will be singled out, arrested, and turned into informants. Once you also learn about how The CIA have used Anarchy to cause destabilization and “Regime” change for decades it all gets pretty clear. It’s the perfect cover. The CIA have full impunity just cause of the compartmentalized nature of “Anonymous.” This is also why you never see “Anonymous” fight against The United States and U.S. corruption. Instead they want you all spreading Red Scare Propaganda on Social Media to fuel their War Machine.

i mean they might? but i also speak out of experience you use a different pc/laptop alltogether for that shit.

☑️ I remember how the mainstream "news" media portrayed Anonymous, WikiLeaks(and all hackers) as "immoral people who steal information from the good guys"(ie. big corporations, deep state actors, themselves, etc). The reality is that many of these hackers worked to expose evil conspiracies and public betrayals perpetrated by the alleged "good guys". It's just another reason why we cannot trust the "news" media, who are failing at their primary duty of educating and protecting the public, by holding corrupt govt entities responsible! In reality, the media is now irredeemably corrupt, and must be broken down and reconstituted into what it should've been all along.

He got attention because of an article being published where he was claiming to supposedly have information capable of combating Anonymous, which at the time was still a new thing - so new in fact that few people even realized it was a fucking 4Chan movement of all things. The FBI didn't know what info he had, but figured given what his job, experience, and expertise was, thought it was in their best interests to at least schedule a meeting and see what he had to offer.

Yep, a decentralized hierarchy made out of loos knit cells, possibly some solo operators loosely grouping to do actions, and then departing like boats in a river. It's all very well played out, it makes it hard to do ops to try to figure out connections.

Decentralized protest groups in general are so difficult to even attempt to infiltrate because of that factor alone. Having different cells almost completely seperate from eachother whilst retaining the same goal and power is really the strongest structure a group can have.

i remember that! a lot of people decided that enough was enough, and they wanted the people of the world of memes to be safe and to be left alone with their shenanigans. it all built up to Anonymous becoming a thing, which was never more than a ragtag group of people that wanted to protect and preserve above all else. wasnt the old mantra "Anonymous: we the people, of the people, for the people." or something like that? i seem to remember those speciffic words at east.

@Bentcop . biz i have no idea what the fuck your on about, because what you just wrote made no sense what so ever.

This was how I understood it, without ever going on 4chan. A mask comes with the popular implication that not only does the mask protect the individual, it makes the figure immortal; it could be anyone, anyone could be the one, you cannot arrest or kill the idea. Any hacking group can call themselves Anonymous tomorrow, and it wouldn't necessarily be a lie, so long as the community accepts their actions as in-line with the persona. Anonymous is basically the perfect name for that.

From the initial rising of popularity of "Anonymous", 99.9% of people NEVER understood the true intentions, purpose, or identity of the members or the group, but you have just defined exactly what it was. There are no intentions. There are no motives. There are no identities. There are no members - Anonymous is all of us, and none of us. It's whatever it needs to be, whenever it needs to be. It is simply a name for citizens of the digital world to hide behind, when they wish to take justice into their own hands. Right and wrong fade away and only the will of the anonymous people is left behind. Your one mistake in your comment however (at least as I interpreted it), is thinking that what I just described somehow changed, or died out along the way. This is not true. To this day, that is still exactly what Anonymous is, and what it will be forever. It is something that cannot be stolen, taken away, changed or perverted. How can this be? How will Anonymous never change, or die out? It is rather simple. As illustrated in the video, Anonymous is not hierarchical, and does not have any conventional structure. In fact it has no structure at all, because it literally cannot. Anonymous is not a group - it is an idea. A method of operating in the digital space. Anybody can claim to be Anonymous, but to truly *be* Anonymous is to adhere to core tenants that are clearly laid out, that can never be corrupted.

@@ekki1993 You're correct, its a one-way encryption algorithm, there are different types of encryption mainly asymmetric and symmetric, the one that should be used is SHA-3 for password encryption, you should also add "salt" to the password, its basically a pseudo random string of characters that are generated from each password that is appended to the password to add complexity.

That's the most braindead thing I have ever heard. Anonymous is loosely affiliated to be sure, but the fact of the matter is that they serve what THEY feel is right without public oversight. Thus, nothing indicates that they are doing anything to serve "the public".

@@Buttersaemmel Most things are vulnerable to some form of injection attack, SQL injection is common because SQL is common and the way it interprets string commands makes it easy. The answer is not "don't use SQL", but "Understand the vulnerabilities of each piece of your tech stack and take appropreate steps to prevent and mitigate at each layer of the stack". Don't execute arbitrary queries in SQL, use parameterized stored procedures. On your back end, SQL encode any user defined input. On your web front end, use a character whitelist to only allow characters that the data type in question needs. Duplicate that whitelist client side. Those are all simple basics that any fresh out of college programmer should know, any one of these would probably have prevented the injection attack and you should be doing all of them.

There are obviously semi leaders. But those are mostly people who are more likely to rally people up or who know other people for a long time already so they trust each other more. But they still don't know each others real names or adresses.

There is: CIA.

after this job they formed LulzSec , they stopped using Anonymous name.

I met many officers like him in the Army Signal Corps.

lol the FBI and NSA keep letting Americas die. one mass shooting after another. the FBI AND NSA ARE A JOKE sadly

could'nt track or merely just said they could'nt track

Hi Mike... anonymously speaking... just between you and me, it is all from here and now on the merriest of wild goose chases for dogs that do not even know their own rearends that is going to go down in a virtual world of machine code.

It should be noted that TOR is a Honey Pot

I mean he was linking the activity to accounts that were openly in favor of anonymous ...I think it takes severe underestimating of these individuals to think they would openly on their real life facebook pages do anything that could possibly relate them to being part of anonymous. As was said anonymous is not a organized entity and individual cells of anons probably have to be very careful around other anons and cells as well in order to not be compromised by the same groups they are a part of.

A ddos is a multi vector attack correct term is dos as it’s a single attack.

Ikr. It's explicitly stated it was a distributed DoS (DDoS) at 2:23

Ah, Little Bobby Tables, i love that kid, always brings memories.

@@KiraTV1 ps and if you want I can link you up with the people in Anonymous that took down the Ku Klux Klan out from the Internet in under 24 hours when they threatened to shoot down peaceful protesters #opKKK #mikeBrown #Ferguson that was a briiiiiiiiiilliant op

Let me guess, did you use flash for your login system?

@@totally.normal Worse. Querystring SQL parameters. ... I WAS brand new at the time.

@@imapseudonym6198 Oof. Did you manage to recover?

@@imapseudonym6198 ..so any input by php went straight into a SQL query? ouch.

@@totally.normal ​ @EXcentriX Yeah, thankfully it was a script kiddie rather than a legitimate hacker, and I was running a small site without much of anything critical on it. He did some damage but I was able to revert it, with a painful lesson learned. It was an interesting first job; super small, so I was the only dev. It meant I wasn't liable for too much, but I also had nobody to mentor me.

Makes me wonder if his job in US intelligence actually entailed _any_ form of cybersecurity, or if it was more low-tech listening to wiretaps n' shit.

@@romxxii Me too. He worked in the military for years before founding his company, which was attacked in 2011, so maybe he did only management type work in SIGINT and never actually did it himself, or was just hopelessly out of practice

"I was in the navy so I know security." Yeah, if we lived 100 years in the past maybe. Dumb grunts can bark and bite if you place them in a backyard, but you'll need to be cut from a whole different cloth if you want to keep the entire street safe.

@@giovannidueck9094 Yeah I believe he was an officer, so more management then hands-on usually, but I don't know of his work at that time.

​@@JEDUBBELLE being in the military is why he didn't understand anonymous. military is VERY hierarchical.

What are the odds he still uses the same password to this day? 🤣

Why is it that you change the password, is it because they might had gained access?

@@Nobody_1. Everyone gets hacked on a daily bases and People usually get long lists of Customer’s Data Info, including Login Passwords, happened to all Xbox Live Subscribers and PlayStation Network Subscribers and more easier to happen on PC Gaming site and many other kinds of Sites.

@@Nobody_1. Nah. It's just that the Post-It the old password is written on gets smeary and hard to read, so you need a new one. The password should be at least eight characters, and have all four kinds: uppercase, lowercase, numbers and special characters. And you should be able to REMEMBER it. That way, you don't need to change it so often.

He might've not used the same pws, because once they get into your email, they basically have everything, since they can just pick recover password

Of course, the fitting password will only work for sites that use the same method for checking the password - a plain MD5 hash. It's not going to work with proper salting, or websites that use a different approach entirely. If you use the same password on multiple sites, it still helps to have a password that can't be found exactly.
