Always looking forward to any documentary by Mariana. She's just awesome and great at what she does.

[ojdesignmotion]

I am addicted to these Mariana documentaries, like literally.

[alexandrebibet]

Marianna Van Zeller is the best reporter! ❤❤❤

[mendiethegingerfam]

She is courageous doing interviews with people like this. 😮

Mariana you are one brave woman! I love you! Your investigative skills are incredible. This was the fastest 45 minutes I’ve ever had watching a documentary. This is downright scary for the world! To hack and hold for ransom Hospitals, Schools, and basic structures of utilities is very unnerving! Hire more of these types of Hackers to circumvent the crimes being attempted. I find it ironic that the Security Consultants are actually criminals in the same fields! Geez can you trust anyone? I feel for your 4 examples of people that have lost so much! I do hope your tech people helped them. Thanks for another chilling documentary!! Love the content. Everyone try to be safe out there.

Can we just appreciate how the nature themed national geographic channel has gone from nature to this?

At one point my mom had an experience with her identity being stolen. My mom had moved to another state. Once she got there, she had tried to get a new license. They said she had to prove her identity as someone stole it and claimed she had died so they could collect the life insurance. It was a crazy lengthy process but she was finally able to clear all of it up. It took many steps but she was able to fix it all.

Mariana gangsta journalist of all times. Big respect

[mediadictator]

My journalist crush 😍 🇬🇲
Mariana The Brave❤

Why don’t they erase my house loan and credit card debt. That would be helpful.

[michaelarnoth]

that statement is so profoundly frightening..."the good guys need to find everyhole in their cyber security, while the bad guys need to find just ONE"!!!

[jaimesalgadoakajaime_the_d]

Omg this is amazing documentary on who and where our personal and private data goes to. Great job Natgeo

[Mohammed-qrgq]

One thing this proves is how stupid some systems are. You shouldn't be able to claim social security benefits just by filling a form. There has to be a second factor of authentication. You have to go in person to some office to prove your identity or require some kind of biometric access that hackers will find difficult to acquire.

I crave for Mariana's documentaries everyday they are so Nice

[rakly]

These journalist don't know that simply showing the view of the city from an apartment is enough to find where you are?

[feliperangel]

Mariana is one of the best journalist I've seen, I remember her from Vanguard and she definitely is brave and scrappy!

[elvissboh]

Woow woow wooow what a nother great story. This is better than any news or movie i ever watched. This is a wholl nother world. Thank you thank you thank you to you and your crew. Keep going and be safe

[ashleyjones]

This type of thing happened to me. They posted pictures to the public of me that were meant to stay private. People I went to school with saw it, family members, you name it. It’s left me with shame & anxiety. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. I don’t post on social media anymore.

[classyjuanito]

I just had to check my back account after watching this video.

[solitudechronikles]

I'm studying cybersecurity now, seems like I've got a job guaranteed already. Shout ot to Mariana Van Zeller though, you do a great job!
