  • MGM was being held ransom for millions of dollars by hackers from around the world. And all it took was a single phone call to bring the entire system down. So how was one of the world’s most complex security systems taken down by something my grandmother would fall for?

    Good thing AI and voice cloning won't make scamming easier and more deceptive in the future!

    As a cybersecurity professional, and someone who has worked int IT for 20 years, I can honestly say this is a great video. Very well broken down for the average non-techy to understand.

    Great work. Every company should have their employees watch this.

    As an individual currently immersed in cybersecurity, I've come to recognize that a significant number of these security breaches are facilitated through the art of social engineering.

    Can't get hacked if you refuse to communicate with other people. Another win for depression.

    Great video! despite our best efforts to secure computers in safe locations, the greatest vulnerability will always be the human factor.

    This video needs to accurately explain the issue, which was too much trust between digital systems. Specifically, the ESXi servers which allowed remote access via SSH and the ransomware to be installed. This video makes it seem like humans were the problem when too much trust between digital systems caused this breach to be so impactful.

    Nice but I am not sure what that long pointer device helped in the explanation. :)

    Considering the amount of companies there are in this world and Considering how many people said companies employ , 71 billion spent on cyber security seems kinda low . With hackers targeting ever larger companies to get more money from them , you'd think the money spent would be at least 100 billion.

    Social engineering principles straight from Dr. Cialdini's Book "Influence"?? Give credit where credit's due, it's a good read.

    Why would companies want to spend expensive training money on employees when they'll just lay them off when they become too well-paid? That or company takes overs and diving and selling the company for its assets etc.? Companies are not loyal to employees so turnabout is fair play or the little guy can steal from the big guys because of how disposably the little guy is treated?
