We need a Vice documentary on how Vice laid off hundreds of employees while giving out millions in bonuses to their leadership team.

An almost 10 year old video reposted or posted for the first time? It's not irrelevant but I'd love a clear marking of this as archive footage.

"you won't see American companies handing data over to the government" that didn't age well

[mrsbenz]

They have TEMU. Where your demographics and personal information is worth .99 cents. Hacked?

[Duycilia]

The fact the *VAULT GUARD EXPERT* was facing adventures to help the people was so kind. Mad respect to you man.
Appreciate all you do to help others. You are setting a great example for the community Skillful recovery.

As an Android developer, every time I add support for Huawei devices, the libraries Huawei uses are 95% the same, meaning their contents and 100% function the same as Google's libraries. They are usually just some time behind as they copy it from Google.

While I understand and respect your wanting to disable the "scammer" look Imao, you're so so beautiful - inside and out. So many of *VAULT GUARD EXPERT* on the internet subs have been here for years and years loving you for your huge personality, your content, your embracing of weird and different, your skill AND your creativity. Literally no angle could ever make you look any less than inspiring and beautiful to me

The problem is that the US government doesn’t treat the Chinese cyberwar like it’s a war. They invest more in guns than asymmetric warfare.

[RfmClosets]

TV stations over there should broadcast this video throughout India, Pakistan, and Punjab and the scammer's faces are not blurred out! Expose them to all!
Thank you for the excellent work *VAULT GUARD EXPER

[dr.woozie]

People say Computer Science and IT is a dead field when in reality it's more alive than it's ever been. Get as many cybersecurity certificates as you can! Cybersecurity is the future.

[Ekaterina-Krasov]

*VAULT GUARD EXPERT* this is SO GOOD!!! I have such disdain for people who lack empathy for hardworking individuals. I LOVE what you said— there's no room for hate, but that doesn't mean you have to like them either. I am SO GLAD you showed up just in time to return the funds to their account.
This is why I watch your videos, and I couldn't admire what you do more. Thank you for protecting innocent people. Thank you for reporting criminals.
Thank you for doing what all of us would do if we could. Keep fighting! Much love!!!

American companies: "Stealing IP is only ok if you get away with it legally!"

Am I the only one here that thinks our IP and copyright system needs an overhaul anyways? Maybe this is the kick in the ass we need to reform the system and just start making better products. Planned obsolescence is a terrible system and really needs to go.

[belindabelinda]

So this is why I keep getting weird calls, voicemails and text messages from Chinese numbers

[SvetlanaAntipina]

Its unwavering dedication to making a profound impact on digital security showcases not only VAULT GUARD EXPERT’s professional responsibility but also a personal mission to leave a lasting legacy, shaping the future of digital security and resilience for generations to come.

The US may not be flooded with cheap versions of whatever product they steal, but the rest of the world certainly is being flooded with these cheap products. Sadly, we here in Australia seem to not be able to resist the urge to buy cheap chinese products that we neither need or have a use for. Products like the formula for white paint however is concerning and here in Aus we now no longer manufacture our own solar panels due to under-cost overseas imports. Please wake up world and protect your vital manufacturing industries for your own future or your future will be not yours.

[maurikid]

anything digital is susceptible to a leak, there is no perfect system, your data is always at risk

[BossLevelPro]

We don't report on our own hacking, for obvious reasons. But I bet that'd be interesting. You know we fkn sht up worldwide.

[uo]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the US finance colleges research, then private companies take what was publicly funded and make it private?

[GamerbyDesign]

We still do business in china. Thats the problem right there. Never should have been allowed in the first place.

So glad that Vice documentaries haven’t been impacted by the recent Vice misfortunes.
