  • In this week's story, I cover the case of the ILOVEYOU Virus - a software that was intended for good by its Philippines creator, but would end up as one of the most devastating, fastest-spreading viruses in history.
    If you're new here, my name is Andy Jiang and I do a vigorous, detailed dives into some of the most fascinating, bizarre, and unreal true stories that are out there. Subscribe and turn on all post notifications so you don’t miss any of my weekly uploads!

    Hey everyone! Starting next Wednesday (October 4th), all future Hidden Stories will be migrating to a new, separate channel for clarity and simplicity. All of the current stories will still remain up on this channel, but all new videos moving forward will be posted on the new "Hidden Stories" UA-cam channel here:

    It’s rare to find story content creators who actually look like they’re interacting with the viewer instead of just speaking in a boring monotone voice all the time, good job, Andy!

    You went from being someone who leaves people on Cliff hangers and not telling the full story to being a amazing storyteller that digs deep to find the best stories and doesn’t just say “oh this person said oh heck to a 20 year old guy at the gas station as a joke that they both laughed at, cancel him, put him in federal prison! That’s asalt! That’s killing his mental state! Bla bla bla bla BLA”. Thanks bro.

    While he definitely had the best of intentions, there's a reason the entire school board said no to something ethically wrong. Still, sucks for the poor guy who didn't intend to cause all the damage he did.

    Can you imagine an IQ 150+ person just seeing the 'i love you' message and being like 'yay someone loves me yay 🥹❤️' and clicking on it

    As a Filipino, I somehow feel like we're being recognized...

    That university rejection for his thesis really created a villain anti-hero just wanting to make the internet free for everyone!

    imagine him telling his grandkids how he hacked the entire world and didn't go to jail for it

    It is a pity that Onel was no longer able to follow a career he obviously loved. He might be the biggest loser to his own virus.

    It's so funny to think about The Pentagon and Major Political Bureau Administrations and Agencies just casually opening anonymous love letters they received through emails directed towards official governmental addresses:

    Its like letting your cat out and later finding out the cat had help and they killed all the birds they found.. So cool he got to tell his story eventually, sometimes things have unforeseen results.

  • @SpriteMan1
