A cyber security guy gave a lecture in my class once and he said "The most difficult part of cyber security is the people". "You can rewrite code, you can isolate networks, but people like to be helpful and that is all it takes for a hacker to get in"

When used for crime, these kinds of people are called manipulators and sociopaths. This guy was smart enough to make a good living off of being conniving and convincing. Pretty cool dude.

Watch this hacker break into a company > Watch this random guy make a phone call and install remote desktop.

The most ironic sentence that came out of his mouth “I really suck with computers man” 😂😂😭

I find it very hard to believe that this script could, with a *single* input from a person, grant any useful access to anything, let alone enough to 'bring down the company'. This is hyperbolic to say the least.
I've worked in Operations and tech support, I would never go to a page one of my clients told me to go to, I would vet it on a virtual machine....for THIS very reason.

I'm guessing the real problem here is not that Ken from support visited a website, it's that the remote desktop software on his computer wasn't configured to ask for authentication. All the website did was provide his computer's local IP address and then the hacker used that to connect to his computer. He could have easily done this completely without Ken from support's assistance by simply scanning the local network for computers that respond on whatever port they are using for RDP. That whole call to Ken from support was nothing but added dramatic effect.

"There are very, very bad people, which means it falls to the good people to try to fight it. We have so much potential to shape our culture, our values, our safety - if not us, then who?"
Exactly the confirmation I needed to hear to clear up my own dilemma, and feelings of responsibility for others in my situation. I was unsure whether to pursue fighting a seemingly small issue, or concede to someone who is blatantly abusing their power and position because it would be much easier to just give in and a LOT less stressful. But, this guy just gave me more motivation to keep me going. And he is right.
