Operation Aurora | HACKING GOOGLE | Documentary EP000

HACKING GOOGLE – what happens when a country attacks a company? In 2009, Google found out and cybersecurity was never the same again.

An inside look at the historic attack where Google’s network was breached by a foreign government trying to access the Gmail accounts of human rights activists. In the wake of the breach, Google revolutionized its approach to security - overhauling everything and developing highly specialized teams of elite experts to stay ahead of the ever-evolving threat landscape.

As a cybersecurity student, this video is great motivation! Love it!

The audio design was on point! Congratulations to the editing team.

This doc deserves some awards. The christmas theme being used with the CGI of Google cleansing the hack from their network? The LED wall? This is so well done.

Props to the animators editors, sound, team on this video and every employee in Google.

for anyone wondering, the first violin piece you hear at the beginning is the Bruch Violin Concerto No.1 in G Minor, op.26

The production quality on this is epic! 👍

This is why I wanted to go to college for Cyber Security. Instead I went for a general Computer Science degree. I dropped out at the end of 2020 and joined the Navy trying to go for the rate CTN. They didn't have it available at the time, so I took IT.

Can't wait to try and get into cyber security still in the future.

I remember being a hacker late 80s early 90s. I should have joined security instead of programming, oh well. It was fun to hack for a bit. Luckily I never got caught, but I didn't do it to harm anything either. It was more of a study on how computers respond. It is a rush to get in and look around a bit. This brings back memories. Long live the pink shirt book, if you know you know.

the graphics, sound, editing, the whole production is insane 🤯

[chizzyjames]

This is why I love motion design. It supports the story by 150%

[shankysays]

I love how episodes start from 0 and not 1.

i recently graduated with my degree in CS, my job on campus as an "research assistant" actually ended up protecting my campus's infrastructure from cyber attacks. it was honestly eye opening how many attacks we would uncover ended up being from china/russia. proud to have helped my campus get by without a hitch, i miss the adrenaline rush of uncovering compromised hardware on our systems. and it'd be awesome to get a job at a larger company doing that or software developing with protecting software with that in mind.

The editing is like scenes on the game and also the voice of narrator and they way she narrate, very familiar. Wow this series is so good.

[lyte]

holy goosebumps, the 10:38 aurora introduction scene had me on goosebumps.

[kylewalker]

2:45 One of the cleanest transitions I’ve seen

[Rhys_Beer]

Kind of wish there was a more technical episode with the same story it would be super interesting.

[JohnnyMcMenamin]

For some more terrific history of computers I highly recommend
"Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution" by Steven Levy.

[NguyenDuy-ozne]

shout out to the edit team, animation team, sound effect team, and every one who dedicates themselves to this episode. AMAZING WORK

[AuthenTech]

Such impressive production quality on this. 👌

[LyrLobo]

Great opening to an important series on cybersecurity threats and responses. We are all responsible for security.
