- HACKING GOOGLE - what happens when a country attacks a company? In 2009, Google found out and cybersecurity was never the same again.
An inside look at the historic attack where Google’s network was breached by a foreign government trying to access the Gmail accounts of human rights activists. In the wake of the breach, Google revolutionized its approach to security - overhauling everything and developing highly specialized teams of elite experts to stay ahead of the ever-evolving threat landscape.

As a cybersecurity student, this video is great motivation! Love it!
What program you learning I wanna get started in cyber security
don't stop, it'll be hard, but we need as many of you as possible in the space (google or not)
mee too
exactly bro i was getting goosebumps all time they mentioned the issues
😆
The audio design was on point! Congratulations to the editing team.
I know, right.
Amazing story telling as well.
The audio was insane and I had goosebumps thrice in this video, huge props to the editing team indeed!
they are a multi billion dollar company i would hope its great
It reminds me of Vox editing
This doc deserves some awards. The christmas theme being used with the CGI of Google cleansing the hack from their network? The LED wall? This is so well done.
bet they had a low budget, seems like a pretty small company
@@imEden0 tru tru .
This is why I love motion design. It supports the story by 150%
This is why I wanted to go to college for Cyber Security. Instead I went for a general Computer Science degree. I dropped out at the end of 2020 and joined the Navy trying to go for the rate CTN. They didn't have it available at the time, so I took IT.
Can't wait to try and get into cyber security still in the future.
shout out to the edit team, animation team, sound effect team, and every one who dedicates themselves to this episode. AMAZING WORK
Is it you
Props to the animators editors , sound , team on this video and every employee in Google.
i recently graduated with my degree in CS, my job on campus as an "research assistant" actually ended up protecting my campus's infrastructure from cyber attacks. it was honestly eye opening how many attacks we would uncover ended up being from china/russia. proud to have helped my campus get by without a hitch, i miss the adrenaline rush of uncovering compromised hardware on our systems. and it'd be awesome to get a job at a larger company doing that or software developing with protecting software with that in mind.
that's awesome, must be amazing knowing that you saved several important systems :]
This is the most interesting ad I’ve EVER seen. I watched all 18+ minutes of it (before the video I THOUGHT I wanted to see), and was entranced!
Why was this better than the youtube rewinds, this documentary is more entertaining then the annual video you release that’s supposed to be the last cool thing of the year.
This is why i want to be a cybersecurity engineer, these series are exciting, thanks google.
the graphics, sound, editing, the whole production is insane 🤯
ikr
The production quality on this is epic! 👍
E

What is so epic this is absolutely nothing special.
It's freaking google
I'd be surprised if it wasn't
Summer did a great job narrating. Jerry and Beths would be proud.
Hahaha I was searching for this comment.
@@Thijs___ same here lol
it was teh only thing i could hear throught the whole narration of the episode. XD
🙂🙂🙂
Amazing, engaging and inspiring. The team at Google is incredible, I'm confident in their abilities to make Google safer. The editing is top notch 👌 👏
The editing is like scenes on the game and also the voice of narrator and they way she narrate, very familiar. Wow this series is so good.
holy goosebumps, the 10:38 aurora introduction scene had me on goosebumps.
So many things here.
1. Great Graphics
2. They were phished not hacked
3. They use the term Attack a lot. If I send you a fake bill and you choose to pay it. Did I attack you?
4. The problem when you get this big is that you miss the little things and the little things always bite you.
5. Infiltrating systems can be very complicated. The easiest attack surface is always the human operating them.
Made me tear up, as a Computer Engineering student, from a smaller country such as Albania, it seems like a dream to be able to work at a company such as Google. Amazing video!
2:45 One of the cleanest transitions I’ve seen
I remember being a hacker late 80s early 90s. I should have joined security instead of programming, oh well. It was fun to hack for a bit. Luckily I never got caught, but I didn't do it to harm anything either. It was more of a study on how computers respond. It is a rush to get in and look around a bit. This brings back memories. Long live the pink shirt book, if you know you know.
Very similar. Was a "hacker" in the early 90's. Mostly just for fun and seeing what was possible. Went to school for computer science and got my BS. Now I'm a carpenter :) Programming just wasn't for me like I thought it would be.
Real bit flippers never lose their skill. You either are or you aren't.
@@ScorpionXXXVII I am interested in what you mean by "wasn't for me like i thought it would be." ?
Do you mind to elaborate on that? If you dont want to do it here, we can also have a chat.
@@murtazafakhry2955 Its more a lifestyle rather than "thing", as you need to always be curious and wanting to sail ik a different direction then what youve learned.
For me, before I started to learn exploiting systems for their intended use, social engineering was my way to go.
I remember that a friend and myself, got a free boat trip as we knew how to persuade them with things as of we belong there. We did this by simply doing some superficial recon online.
But if you really want to start somewhere: TryHackMe is a good site, or HackTheBox.
And its useful to know the basics of coding, start with pyhton as this the easiest one to learn, then switch to web languages like JavaScript, php, as it is a very common entry into the system
@@murtazafakhry2955 maybe starting with hack old websites...
Great opening to an important series on cybersecurity threats and responses. We are all responsible for security.
yes agreed good observation lyr we are glad to have you
I got goosebumps watching this... production quality and the way the google security team handled the attack, this is insane
for anyone wondering, the first violin piece you hear at the beginning is the Bruch Violin Concerto No.1 in G Minor, op.26
For those who don't know Colleges across the country and often times international schools compete in competitions to hack other teams from other schools in a tournament it isn't just a job what you think are updates or maintenance is legitimately just another form of hacking there are terms for types of hackers the most common 3 are Grey Hat, White Hat, and Black Hat. Not to mention this is pretty badass I'm going to sub to this series.
Im a 🤓fine arts graduate that has a major in advertising. And to the team thaat made this and the people who did the animation 👏👏👏👏👏 Its so detailed and was explained in the most simple way that a 10 year old kid is going to be able to understand this GREAT JOB!
The storytelling, the visuals, the graphics, the sound mixing was on point.
As my three year old would say , its just beautiful . Its amazing to see how it all happens to come together .
As someone who wants to be a badass programmer, this is the best video I have seen in years. I must join the Google team of Software Engineers someday.
I mean, the editing and design language is just on point. Kudos to the creative team behind this.
Very interesting video. Thanks.
I love how episodes start from 0 and not 1.
They are still programmers, and start thinking by 0.
As someone who just learned about SQL injection, hacking is so fascinating.
If UA-cam could recommend more of this I’m all for it. Don’t just present this as an ad. Recommend this video. Fantastic work to everyone who was involved in this.
I was waiting for Disrupt's voice to kick in the whole time, amazing video, great content overall
This is an amazing surprise to see this morning I couldnt stop watching this even if there was a fire all around me! What a well made... great information ... truly amazing for anyone to understand how it all happened and how the amazing team at Google worked to solve it... gave me great relief to see that they could figure out the enemy.
This is gotta be one of the best short documentaries i've ever seen
Such impressive production quality on this. 👌
I never thought google would make something this cool and well edited
this was literally one of the best videos i've ever watched on youtube.
Production quality was so good it almost made me switch my specialisation from game development to cybersecurity
i think google has to start making movies, seriously. it's amazing and really high quality ♥
Fascinating. I'm neither a programmer nor a security expert. I am a Chrome user. War against Google became war on us all. I love that the information was shared with us in this manner, and I'll be following the series.
I will not, however, be following any links responding to my comment, so don't bother.
The way of story telling and the most intresting video editing and sound effects are amzing. I felt excitement, sad , anger ,happy all in 18 minutes only
Kind of wish there was a more technical episode with the same story it would be super interesting.
As expected, The editing Is TOPNOTCH!! As well as the content quality.
Wow, coming from a younger person who can't wait to get into cyber security... this gave me goosebumps!
Absolutely amazing production & I really admire everyone's way of thinking about various different things.
Please continue making these!
Woahhh fighting dude
Damn... I had to comment to appreciate the Audio design.
Props to the team who made this!
As a former vfx employee, I would love to see the credits for the people that worked on putting those episodes together. :D
I got goosebumps, i understand the size of operation but it's hard when you are not present in war room to understand the scale. Whatever google decides to do, they do it the best.
Captivating storytelling with superb quality production
I really enjoyed this video and lemme tell you, the excitement I got from reading EP000: in the title, was insane.
Now this was pretty awesome. The way they told the story, the edits, the SOUND. Christ. You guys are amazing.
Endless inspiration for a Motion Graphics Designer here! Thanks for continuing to develope visual styles. So much more inspiring than Apple's sterile stomp typography style.
This is the best technical documentary series I've ever seen.
"This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof"
- La Roux , "Bulletproof"
*The motion design is simply phenomenal!*
This is one of the most interesting things I have ever seen; not that I want to become a hacker, whitehat or blackhat, I just like this
The video ,the audio ,the story ,that screenplay.....no words to express what i felt watching it.
Excellent Looking forward to the other episodes.
This is the most coolest corporate branding/marketing/awareness video I have ever seen.
I got goosebumps watching this, presentation is insane.
This is like a netflix documentary! Love it 🥰 Thank you for bringing awareness to cyber security, it is especially important as the world is moving towards Web 3.0. Every developer needs at least the basic understanding of cybersecurity
What’s Web 3.0?
Nice... Vox Netflix Quality level 🎉👍
The team behind this CRUSHED every waking moment of this video. Took something that is generally thought of as "dull" and made it highly engaging in every way. Bravo
The voxel-style animations are sick!
kudos to the story telling. it didn't sound boring at all. I remained intrigued until the end.
As a cyber security student thank you for this!!!!
I'll definitely give it a try, thanks Google for inspiring us all!
Amazing!! thank you for this series Google!
A series on cybersecurity by google! A dream come true
OMG! Fantastic storytelling. You kept me on the edge of my seat!
Great production! great video edits and high quality, really entertaining to see.
I have such Watchdogs vibe from it. Thanks for defending Google. I'm not a hacker and probably never will be. I'm just simple programmer and I thank you for holding your part of internet.
Cyber security is in my bucket list now. Thanks for the video
"We were under attack. Then we reset all of the passwords. The attack was over thereafter." Genius!
If you want electronic data to be truly secure it certainly cannot be attached to a network. If it is cut off from all networks, it is still "hackable". So it becomes a balance between how communicable the data (or systems whatever it is) needs to be vs potential negative outcomes.
I don't like that phrasing much because it encourages security nihilism and doesn't explain why some networked devices are much more secure than others.
I like to use finite state machines because the concept is easy to explain, can model pretty much any software, shows why real systems are hard to model (lots of components interacting, tons of internal state, your well analyzed program probably runs on a less secure OS/firmware/hardware, rowhammer, timing side channels, etc), and allows defining exploits somewhat concisely.
You can model software as a state machine which takes inputs, updates its own state based on those inputs, and produces outputs. If you have a pin pad lock which only unlocks when the last 6 digits equal its set pin, makes physical tampering as difficult as destroying the lock itself, doesn't reveal information about the correct code (see WPS half PINs, non-constant time string comparison for passwords), and doesn't have some service key for changing the PIN without knowing it, that pin pad would likely be considered secure (users may wish to prevent de Bruijn sequence brute force speedup by erasing the PIN when it checks the value, and 6 digits isn't a lot, someone may record the PIN entry or check wear on the keys, an attacker can carry something heavy to get an authorized person to open the door for them, etc.) Ideally, the software team cares about not revealing the PIN or granting access without it, the product manager also cares about physical issues, and the customer cares about employees ignoring the "no tailgating" sign to be nice (note that this is a non-networked system which can still fail at keeping unauthorized people out and possibly keeping its PIN secret, because the real world is messy.
OK, it's late, that needs some formatting which UA-cam doesn't support, and I'm mostly writing to remind myself of the broad meaning of "security" and maybe tack on my threat model for the above paragraph (which at least doesn't consider coercion).
Wow! This is awesome! Literally one of the best videos I have watched on UA-cam ever. Great job, I am speechless.
What a production quality 👌👌
Please do make such documentary/ aka knowledgeable videos
Yep it was like Netflix experience or better, like what a production and specially sounds... ❤️👍🏻
I'd love to see a documentary series made by @Google.
The quality of this video is insane. It's like it could be played in the cinema.
Well this is pretty cool. Good production!
That was way too good. Excited for the next episode. Weird to say that to Google but when it's good it's good. Oh my god there's a second episode.
This is so epicly done!
Congrats to the production team. It's great directed, edited and sounddesigned. I love all aspects of it. So well done guys! More please!!🔥🔥🔥
wow este ha sido el documental mas emocionante que he visto en vida, nice guys!!
I felt like this could be a actual film that plays in movies theaters, I love the music and the temple of this episode, exciting!
I wonder how much of it is a subtle ad of how much Google cares about the security of information of their clients. I wonder how much thought was put into that aspect.
As someone who just started getting into some of this security stuffs at my job, this really is amazing to see, as well as to see a dedication to a job people love. Also, while pointing out newly learned info, friends of mine thought I was hacking, when I was just showing a website's network information (api calls and such). It showed me that they really do go hand in hand.
I've never before watched the whole ad with interesting like these _"hacking Google"_ videos
Someone tell me why I'm so utterly captivated by this. May make its way into a story I'm writing, just because of how interesting it is.
It's because it's a (relatively) new frontier of warfare with endless possibilities that literature has barely scratched the surface of.
I enjoyed this video without ads, this channel is amazing.
You just earned a subscriber!
Thank you for bringing this content! I'm really amazed.
Overall a very interesting and well-done video with great storytelling and accompanying graphics! One very unimportant issue is the semantics of calling Aurora a battleship. While the difference means nothing to the average person, for some enthusiasts, mistaking a cruiser for a battleship could be a little frustrating. In my opinion, using the more general term 'warship' could've avoided this issue while still delivering the desired imagery. Apart from that, excellent video.
This is amazing! Great video.
What a really interesting series, and the production is epic!
Nicely done even I already heard the story (not sure if darknet diaries or this is how they told me the world's will end book) I realy love the way Google served this story.. Doughter loved graphics.. Great production..
This looks really great. I hope my university will use this to motivate their students studying cybersecurity.
This is the best Hacking Mini Series I have ever seen !!! Next Level.
