The hacktivist known as D3f4ult was upset with the status quo. So he (and his cohorts) used their skills to take down predators and expose government surveillance. But when he set his sights on a much bigger target - the director of the CIA - things got hot real fast.

Hey Jack, I wanted to give my appreciation to these podcasts. My son (6 mo) just got sent to the ER and now ICU. We'll be up listening to the stories all night while he gets better. Hopefully, we will be out of here tomorrow, but tonight, we'll listen and fight.

Man, it's hilarious how Runescape was the entry point for so many hackers. Myself included, it taught me to be hyper-catious of social engineering, got me into programming and showed me what keyloggers and phishing was. It was such a toxic community where you couldn't trust a soul. But that's what made it so fun and crazy..Ah good old Runescape.

@DreckzPVP 6 ай бұрын

spare gp plox? was always the easiest loot, I was doing social engineering at the grand exchange at 11. I would ask players if they had spare training items like shitty arrows or mind runes for training the shittiest spells. Since I would ask for such small amounts instead of asking for high amounts people would run to help someone they thought was an actual noob. I made 2m gp one day in 07 scape just from people giving me 50k here 100k there. when I was asking for things around 10 -20 gp ea. Eventually people on every world knew who I was and that I was just another person lyiing about being a noob, so it became less efficient. that is until I made new accs lol.

Correct but you can make enough barriers so they hack less or they don’t deem it’s worth the effort vs the reward compared to other targets. It is like having multiple loud barking dogs at your house. Sure, they can still steal stuff, but they would have less time to do so and why bother if the house down the road have no dogs and similar stuff to steal?

Very interesting that they hacked into all those places.. Like i did see in a hacktivist clip here on youtube.. " who will supervise , the supervisor's".. Like if FBI gather's metadata on civilians, who will Supervise and see that it isn't abused ? And who will supervise that supervisor(and so on?)? So yea, if they don't have our metadata, you can sleep well at nights :) Then again if they don't have metadata, how will they find offender's and people who commit crime? ... What if FBI would gather metadata in a super encrypted computer and only when you do a crime, it would only be accessable to FBI-agent's ? In the end, everything man-made can get hacked and every human on earth can be corrupted.. All comes down too oneself, will i abuse my power or not? Can't find and don't think there is a universal solution. If the world would be a perfect place, i still think greed and jealosy, would ruin it :P
