This is my first video but right off the bat BRUNCH?!?!? Brunch bro? You fancy

[abdelfattahhilmi]

john is so good at what he does to the point where if you wanted to attack him he would think you are submitting a malware for analysis

[_JohnHammond]

What do you think, would you fall for a phishing email like that? What other kinds of social engineering scams and malware attempts have you seen that have been successful?

[pcsecuritychannel]

I’ve received similar emails but never a Google drive notification. Interesting how they keep changing small things within the same scams.

[jeremiahdurotola]

This is wonderful, specific and detailed. You should consider createing a malware analysis class. FYI, you have your first student. 😆

I just completed a 2yr degree at community college for cyberdefense and digital forensics, and it was still fascinating and instructive to see such a brief, streamlined, walk-thru of how it's done. 2yrs of school summarized in 30 min. Lol. It's really great to see it in practical application.

Funny, it's a good time to bring up how DMCA requests actually work: you don't typically receive them, YouTube will give you a notice they have received it but they won't provide you, the creator, with a copy. That may be slightly different now, but generally you won't receive some lawyer-speak notice about violating copyright unless you are a company, own your own business where you are the CEO. In that case, you should have your own lawyer(s) anyway. So, don't open anything in any emails ever, don't trust DMCA notices because you wouldn't personally receive them anyway, and definitely question all links and attachments. If you get an attachment from a coworker, notify them and ask if they sent it, even if it's a legitimate email address and came from them. Remember, emails can be spoofed very well, just as phone numbers.

I'm taking my first steps in cyber security. To see such a pro how you deal with this was extraordinarily educational and very interesting. Thnks!

[trapOrdoom]

Insane how well crafted these security threats are becoming. They’re literally almost easily able to get any IT professional to fall for it… that’s scary.

[SHUFFLEZBlack]

Your the best John. I work in IT myself but not in the security segment, you always make content so interesting to watch. Love your work. Keep it up!

[GPBS]

DEFINITELY not boring. If you're serious about cyber security then ANY knowledge is good knowledge. Thanks for the video.

[DavidAlvesWeb]

Your face in the thumbnail had me like 😂😂😂😂

[THEAbhimanyuKumars]

Thank you for posting it,

[JoeC_aka_PwnerJoe]

Incredibly useful and helpful video, thank you John! It's interesting seeing under the hood for threats related to content creators.

[pierre-huguesaubertin]

It’s nice to see what an analyst would do. Very well explained, and use free tools to do your PoC. Bravo!

[kidbullet]

Educational, fun, not boring at all!
Thanks a lot for your work. Studies computer networks myself and I only regret not having a teacher like your. Certainty would have a much better professional path by now! You, Bombal, Chuck: great lads!
I wish I could study and learn more from you. Such a knowledge base!

[TheDrMayonnaise]

I honestly love these kind of videos if im honest. Good stuff John thank you

[muzamaze]
