      @@MRJMXHDyeah and if it's wrong for their information to be stolen and given out to others they don't want having that information it's wrong for the federal government to do the same to its citizens or the citizens of foreign countries. They are complicit in helping this surveillance state we live in operate, any one of them could take actions against it like Snowden did, but they don't. If you're actively complicit with evil actions, it doesn't matter if you were "just following orders", you are helping this type of evil prevail and you are partially responsible. Every person has the power to change the world around them and make a difference in it, the fact they don't use theirs to help oppose this surveillance state especially when they're in a much better position to than most people, is all on them. They reaped what they sowed.

      The 2000s were a pretty weird time for cybersecurity. It was becoming increasingly better supported and understood, but you were still coming out of a relative degree of innocence and naivete due to how recent it all was. Laws had yet to fully catch up, security practices were very much still being figured out, and generally it was just a weaker time.
      It's also a constant game of attack and defense, what it looks like today vs 2008 are wildly different because of this. A lot of it involved making lower level agencies (Possibly with their own rules and policies, often weaker or poorly implemented) come in line with mandatory standards and practices. It's not infallible, but it does a lot.

      This video is all a lie. I looked on the site of the hacker "d4fault" and its just self written anecdotal evidence. Theres literally nothing to back up his claims on many of these things besides his own testimony. For example , the whole segment about bestiality is just purely wrong. No danish government website was ever taken down as he claimed. In 2015 it was in fact anonymous who took down some of the bestiality websites that is proven cause they literally defaced the sites with the anonymous logo under the operation name OpNullDenmark . The problem was already big and talked about in Denmark and his unproven "hacks" certainly didnt have any affect on the ban decision. But of course making a video making this kid seem like some hero gets more views so alright.

It causes said institution to have extreme condemning response as a display to refortify its image of powerfulness.

      "Dyscalculi is a learning disability resulting in difficulty learning or comprehending arithmetic, such as difficulty in understanding numbers, numeracy, learning how to manipulate numbers, performing mathematical calculations, and learning facts in mathematics. It is sometimes colloquially referred to as "math dyslexia", though this analogy can be misleading as they are distinct syndromes."

      This video is all a lie. I looked on the site of the hacker "d4fault" and its just self written anecdotal evidence. Theres literally nothing to back up his claims on many of these things besides his own testimony. For example , the whole segment about bestiality is just purely wrong. No danish government website was ever taken down as he claimed. In 2015 it was in fact anonymous who took down some of the bestiality websites that is proven cause they literally defaced the sites with the anonymous logo under the operation name OpNullDenmark . The problem was already big and talked about in Denmark and his unproven "hacks" certainly didnt have any affect on the ban decision.

    I really love the level of detail of your animations. At one 1:43 the hacker even has kali linux open on his screen (popular linux distro for hacking).

      hardly anyone uses kali these days. It's become more of a plaything for people just getting started. Most set up their own VM's and rigs with different OS's for different tasks, but still do most of the development and coding on mac and even windows since it's easier to compile C/C++ code without running into random dependancy issues.

      I saw this too and loved the kali bit. So small but fits so well for the scene.
