This Toy illegally Spied on 6.4 Million Children

He hacked into North Korea and stole their operating system. He hacked into Microsoft and stole 43,000 confidential files. He hacked into Vtech and compromised 6 million accounts. He then hacked into Nintendo and caused the biggest leak in Nintendos history

….All before the age of 24.

Today we are talking about the hacker Slipstream.

Small correction, a Flash login form is not especially vulnerable to SQL injections. Nothing client-side can help you against those, not Flash, not an HTML form, not JavaScript, reason being that you can't actually control what runs on the clients in any meaningful way. The server the form sends its data to must handle all user input with special care, usually with prepared statements or input filtering.

So you're telling me this guy is responsible for hacking one of the biggest children's companies in the world, the hacking of Microsoft, the nintendo gigaleak and the only version we have of North Korea's operating system? That's a hell of a track record...

[ThisJordo]

The fact that the hacker who started this entire story is ALSO the hacker who dumped the historic Nintendo Gigaleak is the biggest plot twist of all time holy shit

[kennedytaylor]

If I was a multimillion dollar company, I'd hire this guy for security reasons. He's seriously amazing at what he's done, huge props for the vtech thing too

[briannaisabel]

someone needs to hire him 😭 my jaw dropped when you said he hacked into north korea

[paceyburnsides]

The fact that VTech is still making camera-based kids toys is wild. Like I'm not surprised since it happened a while ago but still, that seems like SUCH a risky move 😂

[gavinmoran]

Slipstream should be hired by some of the biggest firms. Like holy sh*t.

[CallyWasHereOfficial]

he hacked into a country. How has he not been hired as head of security somewhere

[yourfellowthomasd]

12:52 bro wanted to check if he still had it in him 😭😭

[SuperDuckyWho]

It always drives me nuts when they "crack down" on hackers that find issues like this, especially when they make it apparent they have morals. They should be hired.

[BarelySociable]

That Nintendo hack confirmed that “L is real” in SM64

"One guy figured out how to run DOOM on it"
Of course he did...

As an autistic 25 year old not familiar with coding, i am both offended by and proud of this man. Keep it up slipstream!

[shaggy]

Difficult to comprehend the damage Slipstream could have caused if he had malicious intent.

[vajona]

Remember, when companies do these illegal acts it's a civil crime; however, when you do it, it's criminal. Double standards are fun kids

[BeOriginal]

Bro went from 1 to 100 from hacking companies to entire countries

Just discovered this channel and it’s an instant sub. Love the editing style

[yayothejowen]

Slipstream was genuinely just a curious guy. It's terrifying to think that if someone with malicious intent gained his skill and knowledge, they may have caused a lot of damage.

[JustWhyFFS]

Giving young children a device that connects them to the internet, while most of the adults around them don't even know what a phishing attempt is? No way this could go wrong.

I had one of these leap frog tablets as a kid. THANK GOD it was a one that never connected to the internet. That leap frog tablet and my Nintendo DSI were my childhood.
