Mariana you are one brave woman! I love you! Your investigative skills are incredible. This was the fastest 45 minutes I’ve ever had watching a documentary. This is downright scary for the world! To hack and hold for ransom Hospitals, Schools, and basic structures of utilities is very unnerving! Hire more of these types of Hackers to circumvent the crimes being attempted. I find it ironic that the Security Consultants are actually criminals in the same fields! Geez can you trust anyone? I feel for your 4 examples of people that have lost so much! I do hope your tech people helped them. Thanks for another chilling documentary!! Love the content. Everyone try to be safe out there.
At one point my mom had an experience with her identity being stolen. My mom had moved to another state. Once she got there ,she had tried to get a new license. They said she had to prove her identity as someone stole it and claimed she had died so they could collect the life insurance. It was a crazy lengthy process but she was finally able to clear all of it up. It took many steps but she was able to fix it all.
There is no value in erasing your requests. Besides with the redundancy built into that sort of thing, that is if they are doing it right you will still get a bill. The value is, as I like to put it, it's in your everyday life. Done right then you can can be completely owned. Mine to be bought or sold.
that statement is so profoundly frightening..."the good guys need to find everyhole in their cyber security, while the bad guys need to find just ONE"!!!
Woow woow wooow what a nother great story. This is better than any news or movie i ever watched. This is a wholl nother world. Thank you thank you thank you to you and your crew. Keep going and be safe
One thing this proves is how stupid some systems are. You shouldn't be able to claim social security benefits just by filling a form. There has to be a second factor of authentication. You have to go in person to some office to prove your identity or require some kind of biometric access that hackers will find difficult to acquire.
@@creatureofhavoc if you lock your card the data won’t give them the passcode. Data is just footsteps of where you digitally been. You would have to fall for a trap like log in to scammers WiFi or log in through email scammer sent pretending to be your bank
@@MF-kr4hf I've met many people who have had the same things happen to them. All have been single mothers with kids. That seems to be the common factor. I posted a story and found at least 5 other single mothers in my county who have been targeted.
Interesting documentary, love her interviews with criminals in the Trafficked series. Would be nice to get a bit of international perspective on the credit card fraud though, I wouldn't be surprised if this was a way smaller problem outside the US. I remember travelling in the US and thinking that the payment systems must be a fraudsters dream, often still set up using signatures nobody ever checked rather than PINs. My European bank card always insisted on the PIN, often confusing merchants, but just making it that much harder for fraudsters just by requiring an additional bit of information that you never share online.
This type of thing happened to me. They posted pictures to the public of me that were meant to stay private. People I went to school with saw it, family members, you name it. It’s left me with shame & anxiety. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. I don’t post on social media anymore.
I'm scared lockbit will hack UA-cam and watch all those who commented and hold them for ransom 😅😂. This is not funny, one of the best documentaries from @Mariana
Its mind blowing that these criminals let them bring more attention to their illegal activity. It only makes it easier for the feds to crackdown on the tactics they use.
Thats why most of these types of people agree to talkng to her. shes mentioned in an interview on Joe rogans podcast that prestige and advertising are some of the main reasons ppl agree to be interviewed by her. the thing is people LOOKING for this kind of software to use it, will probably find it anyway. The mass population doesnt even know most of this is going on. Its worth letting them get maybe slightly more clientele if it teaches millions of people about the dangers they face
There is if you are fairly sure of your anonymity and want to promote your brand/product. "lockbit" sent that link to her for a reason. Its good for the public to know this software is out there, but now so does everyone who might want to buy it from him
Great video. You have to educate people since you have the ability to do public speaking and video production. :) It's not enough to expect your ISP to protect you. You need to start getting fed up on your own and controlling "every step you take." Stay up to date with the latest vulnerabilities, there are people who spend many hours every day checking systems for vulnerabilities. Because of the big mega market, a lot of software is not tested properly but is sold and rented to make money, and therefore vulnerabilities are present and are used by people like those you interviewed. Maximum security is a classic phrase. Unfortunately, it does not exist. Have a safe day. :)
Quote from an anonymous cyber pirate interveiwed in above video who believes he is smart: "If you are smart about it, you won't get caught." If that Mr. Anonymous is so smart then why is he often filled with anxiety making him want to hide and live only in the shadows and in cave like expensive to run vehicles no matter how nice the weather is outside at the time.
great video have one simple rule!!!!!!! always update everything on desktop laptop and phones and dont click on links or attachments from unknown senders always stay alerts online and yer fine and remember the number 1 security is you and yer updates not yer antimalware and anti virus tools and always be carfull of social engenering
get ur money out of banks this is mainly the gov fault for forcing value on paper and metal rather than supporting free trade like food it would be more moral if these hackers stole from the high class rather than middle and low class ppl and then helped those in need like robin hood
I never get my money back and it happened all the time. All at once from many companies and banks. I truly think it is inside jobs. Not all in the companies. But quite many.
Ask him if his name is Sam. And if he works with Matt. =) I think I've been seeing them online for about 5 years . Yo FBI - those are the guys I told you about, on Steam, I think
Some of those questions are wildly federal lmao, I get it's to elicit a shock from the audience, but "so how many guns are in this room" is such a blatant cop question 🤦♂
If you watch or read much at all about hacking, this is surface level/common knowledge stuff. Curious what your favorite hacking doc is? I really enjoyed Zero Days (re: Stuxnet, the alleged joint U.S. and Isreal malware that set back Iran's nuclear program.)
lol the guy just used Alfa antenna and WiFite on kali Linux to get the hash of the password used gpu to cracked it and there we go. My 8 years old kid can to that.
They get paid to do it. It's the same with people on day time talk shows like the Fake Dr. Phil show, $30K is standard because who wants to humiliate themselves for less than that.
I wish Mariana will make a video about “hypnosis” mafia in an airports and hotels. Nobody talk about it, but it exists. I know people who became their victims, and have been a victim myself.

Always looking forward to any documentary by Mariana. She's just awesome and great at what she does.
Meee toooo!😊
I can't stand her no women should be around this type underground element, it's like she gets aroused by it
She is courageous doing interviews with people like this. 😮
She is doing it for the same reason as those shmucks, for the money.

Happened to my mom too!! It took her years
Marianna Van Zeller is the best reporter! ❤❤❤
Mariana van Zeller is simply amazing.
Mariana gangsta journalist of all times. Big respect
Omg this is amazing documentary on who and where our personal and private data goes to. Great job Natgeo
Mariana is one of the best journalist I've seen, I remember her from Vanguard and she definitely is brave and scrappy!
My journalist crush 😍 🇬🇲
Mariana The Brave❤
Why don’t they erase my house loan and credit card debt. That would be helpful.
Oh boy do I love your comment!
For real!!!!
Be nice especially with a week or so heads up
That stuff probably gets better protected then atnt customer data

Security agencies cant find the criminals but reporters always do Lol
hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Lol so true never thought of that lol
Obtaining evidence for a conviction is not easy
agreed
There's a difference between finding them and getting enough evidence for convictions, warrants, etc.
that statement is so profoundly frightening..."the good guys need to find everyhole in their cyber security, while the bad guys need to find just ONE"!!!
loooooove this show! huge respect for Mariana
I am addicted to these Mariana documentaries, like literally.
Woow woow wooow what a nother great story. This is better than any news or movie i ever watched. This is a wholl nother world. Thank you thank you thank you to you and your crew. Keep going and be safe
Can we just appreciate how the nature themed national geographic channel has gone from nature to this?
I searched lockbit black and I'm getting literal chills.

Thank-you!!!!!
Excellent documentary 💯👏
These journalist don't know that simply showing the view of the city from an apartment is enough to find where you are?
Or maybe they do know?
They don't care, but you can't blame them, blame the ones whose ego is so big they don't mind getting caught.
I just had to check my back account after watching this video.
u should
and thats how they get you by logging in :D
21:27 i like how chubby holds the door, so guys can take the risk and go first in. But she will put the cuffs on. OMG
This is the best one, Mariana!
Grande Mariana! Incrível!
This poor lady 19:23
Tip: lock your cards when you’re not using them
Or just get text notifications to your phone when transactions are made. A good credit card company will reimburse you without hassle
@@drew4054 true but that’s only going to let you know after the scam is completed, locking your card will make it hard for them.
I don't think it matters when they can have your data
@@creatureofhavoc if you lock your card the data won’t give them the passcode. Data is just footsteps of where you digitally been. You would have to fall for a trap like log in to scammers WiFi or log in through email scammer sent pretending to be your bank
Carding fraud is perhaps the easiest fraud in the history of mankind. And because it's so easy, it will keep multiplying exponentially.
You are very brave. thank you🤩🤩🤩
She needs to investigate gang stalking. That is very real. Myself, mykids and my family have been victims to that!
So they're just randomly stalking you for no reason?? Or your friends or family are involved?
@@MF-kr4hf I've met many people who have had the same things happen to them. All have been single mothers with kids. That seems to be the common factor. I posted a story and found at least 5 other single mothers in my county who have been targeted.
yeah, myself and many, many people I know. I feel ya.
Watching little ❤graphic eye 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm studying cybersecurity now, seems like I've got a job guaranteed already. Shout ot to Mariana Van Zeller though, you do a great job!
Calm down Jessica...your not there yet.

To be vouched for in the underworld is beyond gold.
Those are the best actors I have ever seen.
I back u on that,no real criminals aren't going to do that unless they get caught and behind bars interviews
@@kareneschaaffe1762you would be suprised
This is soooo annoying, scammers should not exist in the age of ai
This type of thing happened to me. They posted pictures to the public of me that were meant to stay private. People I went to school with saw it, family members, you name it. It’s left me with shame & anxiety. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. I don’t post on social media anymore.
Kudos to this woman. But more importantly kudos to the gangs for the risk and balls 🔥🔥
I love this woman 😄
amazing she can find all this criminals but the cops can't
It's wild that people are willing to essentially inform on themselves. This could be enough info to start an investigation.
they dont want to. besides, theyd have to tell on themselves.
I'm scared lockbit will hack UA-cam and watch all those who commented and hold them for ransom 😅😂.
This is not funny, one of the best documentaries from @Mariana
11:20 🤔 Wondering if the Crips dripped in all red is meant to be a ruse for disguise...
Its mind blowing that these criminals let them bring more attention to their illegal activity. It only makes it easier for the feds to crackdown on the tactics they use.
the feds already know about it, and unforunately, it does not make it any easier.
Mariana is the best.
Do most of you people here in the world not realize this??? These shows and interviews are how the blackmarket advertises its businesses.
Thats why most of these types of people agree to talkng to her. shes mentioned in an interview on Joe rogans podcast that prestige and advertising are some of the main reasons ppl agree to be interviewed by her.

@Benevolence_K Great comment! I agree.
If ur a real criminal there is no reason to film a documentary that hundreds of thousands/millions will see
Exactly 😅
There is if you are fairly sure of your anonymity and want to promote your brand/product.
"lockbit" sent that link to her for a reason. Its good for the public to know this software is out there, but now so does everyone who might want to buy it from him
But i bet she manages to pay the people who she interviews.
@@thechronic555 whatever she pays wouldn’t be enough for someone who makes real money illegally
Thats what im sayin
Able an informant 💯
Nerves of steel.
wow that was fun
This is my biggest fear!!!😰
marina chilling w the big dawgs, she’s hood certified
awesome

great disguise for a big time hacker living in a dump.
Mariana,try sarmale next time you visit Romania lol
Right after everybody’s ssn was stolen lol
I called to get a credit freeze for experian, TransUnion and equifax. Very easy!
Maria courage is incredible🔥 but be careful all the same🙏🏽
An acquaintance of mine got stolen around 65k from his account, didn't get a penny back.
Great pic! I'm horrible at selfies 😊enjoying your videos ❤
Gotta have that buried treasure cuz.

She's A STRONG WOMAN
They would erase my credit card too
get ur money out of banks
this is mainly the gov fault for forcing value on paper and metal rather than supporting free trade like food
it would be more moral if these hackers stole from the high class rather than middle and low class ppl and then helped those in need like robin hood

ROMANIA CAPITAL OF CYBERCRIME 🇷🇴
Why can't they just make $20mil appear in my account 😂
You do realise lockbitsupp is locked up by the FBI? 😂
I never get my money back and it happened all the time. All at once from many companies and banks. I truly think it is inside jobs. Not all in the companies. But quite many.
Ask him if his name is Sam. And if he works with Matt. =) I think I've been seeing them online for about 5 years . Yo FBI - those are the guys I told you about, on Steam, I think
Just made a 9k today, like that’s not very good. I think these guys are exaggerating. I may be wrong but I’d like to see the evidence
thats crazy abel in this lol hes a graffiti artist out there in from miami my dawg actually know him
If she can find these people, why police can't?
Undersourced or lack of education. Take it from a cyber security student, btw lockbitsupp is locked up by the FBI
Why dont state just put ONE TIME PASSWORD security measures in all Credit/debit cards Like india? Whats stopping
For God sake Mariana... Stop it. I'm nervous for you, that interviews are too dangerous!
Notice how she has never done rave drugs! K and MDMA are made in massive professional labs no way she would ever be granted entry😂
Some of those questions are wildly federal lmao, I get it's to elicit a shock from the audience, but "so how many guns are in this room" is such a blatant cop question 🤦♂
All the people wearing masks are the first people who will start talking.
Most boring hacking doc ive ever watched
that does not compute...

Love this documentary. But can you change the journalist with her fake lips, and attitude of being important. Love authentic people. Thanks

We Turn Sheep into wolves….
The number one question is what's in it for the hackers/traffickers/criminals/drug dealer? Why do they opt to talk or showcase their trade to Nat Geo?
Recognition 🥁💀🛅
They get paid to do it. It's the same with people on day time talk shows like the Fake Dr. Phil show, $30K is standard because who wants to humiliate themselves for less than that.
People love to brag and boast about their actions. Pretty stupid if they aren't trying to get busted.
For the flash!
Money bro Nothing is for free in this evil world
👌🏻😼😎
abel seems like a snitch lol, hes on every episode
MVZ IS THE BEST INVESTIGATOR
😮😮😮😮
The internet was NOT designed to handle banking transactions. Services were made to operate using internet, but it was not designed for that.
I wish Mariana will make a video about “hypnosis” mafia in an airports and hotels. Nobody talk about it, but it exists. I know people who became their victims, and have been a victim myself.
I'm very curious to what that is.
@@suchizlife2812 Criminals using hypnosis on their victims. People lose control or fall asleep. Have to be very careful in a crowded places.
No journalist will be able to get into the belly of the beast.
the dude in the end is so much lying..
Well you have just created hundreds of hackers and made lockbit another small fortune. Congrats
As if he needed her help, he obviously doesn’t have a problem getting money 😂
they already know, the potential victims are the ones who needed to watch
