  • In this weeks episode of Minutes With we sat down with Mustafa Al-Bassam, a former member of Anonymous and one of the founders of LulzSec.
    Mustafa tells us how he got in to hacking and how he ended up getting involved in attacks on The Sun, The Westboro Baptist Church and even the US Government.

      ​ @755fts Who said anything about it being scary? I sure didn't. Go back up and read and tell me anywhere that I said it was scary or that I was scared of them? What I actually said was that they can literally ruin your life. If you can't comprehend how or how serious that can be, then I don't know what to tell you. "You stated literally the obvious". Okay so you agree with it then? And this is a comment section, people make comments, that's what it's here for. And that's okay if you don't care about your credit, however most normal people, people that have actual jobs and careers and families and such, people that have actual money, not just $500 in cash, those people understand how important a credit rating is. I guess you have no clue how important it is, but I guess a 21 year old like yourself wouldn't know any of these things, because after all I'm sure you know it all. But if you would ever like to buy a house, or a car, or any other significant purchase, even get a credit card, your credit rating is sort of important. And yes hackers can get you arrested if they tried, they can basically frame you for something, it has happened before. One guy was charged and convicted of having child porn on his computer, it was later discovered a hacker broke into his computer remotely and put it there, but the damage was already done. Your comment right there makes you look like an idiot, I don't even have to say anything.

    Wow, this video is so eye-opening! It's incredible to see how someone so young could have such an immense talent for hacking. It's clear that he has a true passion for understanding how computer systems work and how to manipulate them. I appreciate how he emphasized the importance of using his skills for good, rather than malicious intent. It's also interesting to see how the justice system handled his case and the potential opportunities for hackers to use their skills for cybersecurity defense. Overall, this video was both informative and thought-provoking. Thanks for sharing, LADbible TV!

    My first “hack” was in 7th grade when I discovered the software my school used in Keyboarding class could be scammed/hacked.
    The teacher would make us type into this program with our keyboards covered and the test would be timed. I discovered that if I typed the first word, and then held down the space bar, the program would count that as successful typing.
    So I’d score these outrageous typing speeds and it was only when the teacher looked at what I actually typed and not just the score the program sent her that I was busted.
    The sad thing is I could type faster than most of the other kids without cheating. I just liked being able to scam the system.

    Having worked in IT security for some time, I think a lot of people have a misunderstanding of where the security vulnerabilities are. People are given a false sense of security, too. I will address these as briefly as possible, so bear with the long post.
    -ANY data that you put online, which is data that can be accessed from a remote computer, can be stolen. I am not fear mongering. ANY data.
    -The data that you access is saved on servers and the servers are targeted.
    -Routers are highly vulnerable and often used as an entry way to a server. Most routers were an afterthought, not built with security in mind. If you can update your router firmware, do it!
    -Your router board or server motherboard may have secret chips on them, planted by the Chinese government. An IT admin would have full network monitoring capability and would know if data was being sent to an unknown server. This first made the news about 8 years ago, however I have yet to see a follow up to it actually being verified. So take that for what its worth.
    Your Work computer: Your IT dept. tells or forces you to change your password often. That is to prevent a fellow employee of dubious character from accessing your machine. In rarer cases, to prevent someone who doesn't belong in the building in the first place.
    False sense of security given to public:
    You are told to change your passwords and create "strong" passwords to make you feel good about using a completely insecure platform.
    -The password for your online account does NOT prevent your data from being stolen. Remember, I said servers and routers are often the target. Your specific password has no bearing on those attacks.
    -Complex passwords do NOT equate to better security. The LENGTH of the password is what enhances security. You can have a long password that is insecure: 123456789101112131415 is NOT a good password and neither is 5555555555555555555.
    Common public vulnerabilities:
    -Phishing and e-mail. NEVER open attachments from emails of people you do not know. example attachments are pdf, xls, doc. Block and delete the email if possible. If it occurs at work report it to your IT staff.
    -never open links within emails. These often take you to malicious sites. Again, this refers to emails from unknown senders.
    -if someone you trust is emailing you something that seems really odd, don't open the attachment or click on the link. Text or call them and ask if they sent you that email. Chances are they did not.
    -never use the same PW for multiple accounts.
    This of course does not cover everything but I hope it helps people.
