How I Hacked The US Government Aged 16 | Minutes With | @LADbible

In this weeks episode of Minutes With we sat down with Mustafa Al-Bassam, a former member of Anonymous and one of the founders of LulzSec.

Mustafa tells us how he got in to hacking and how he ended up getting involved in attacks on The Sun, The Westboro Baptist Church and even the US Government.

He knew the moment he saw the teachers salary that a normal life isn‘t worth it

[JediHotness]

I like that he never sounded like he was trying to brag about all the hackings he committed. He just explained what he did in the most normal way possible.

[Mikasks]

I love when he said “I was kind of pissed off that I was getting arrested” like this is gonna be one of those chores that he needed to do before continuing on with his life.

I like how he looks proud to explain the weakness in the justice system when talking about the charges. The essence of a true hacker

This guy is the reason why my banking app requires 20 passwords.

[callumjcarson]

You can tell he was trying to simplify absolutley everything for the interviewer. He wanted to go into complex details but he couldn't as no one would understand.

[BosisofSweden]

I envy these kind of intelligent and skillful people. They are so talented and smart when it comes to learn how to do things on their own.

[Naliao]

This dudes a G, didnt snitch to the cops, crazy smart, and so nonchalant

[chwepheshe]

ngl this is exactly how I imagined all hackers look like

[keleedurand]

A CEO of a company is using the same password for his private emails PayPal and World of Warcraft. This got me good.

I would love to do a boot camp with this gentleman… I imagine he could teach more in a few days than years of self directed learning

[BRKS]

The thing is, they get arrested but they also get hired to work for things like the FBI, as these guys are obviously crazy smart. So they get hired for cyber defence

[fibonaccisrazor]

I got the impression he had no evil intentions, he was just fanatically curious about how computer programs work, and how to crack them. He has developed immensely useful abilities he can now use in a responsible fashion.

Realising that one day in some late nights i was in the same chat rooms with this guy. i was under 18 too and enjoying what we were doing 😂.
Oh man we had such a beautitul childhood with backtrack 2 3 till 5R3.

Glad to see this guy is doing well and that we are finally still doing what we like and admire, ethically and legally.

Peace ✌️ Ex Anonymous Lebanon 🇱🇧 Member.

[Audiotorium]

I’m trying my hardest to understand how clever this man is but can’t grasp it

[jaypr]

You can tell he's struggling to go slow, his brain is too fast to go at that speed and stills explains things so simply and structured. My guy.

[Mw_OG]

Mock him all you want... this man you see in this video has some serious brain-power.

[youssefibrahim]

This is an amazing story, Mustafa, and how you are doing right now, PHD and a wonderful company with more than 50 employees.
