    Being Russian makes the hacking twice as dangerous.
  • @scallywag1337
    Basically to "get hacked in minutes" you just have to do the things you never would. Makes total sense actually.
  • @Arek_R.
    "Breaks into our computer" Yes but the victim has to first login to random network and fall for multiple red flags lol
  • @unFamous_o.O
    This kind of hacking will works for a guy who just download anything pops up.
  • @chrswlf2657
    He protecc He attacc But most importantly He open her calculator app
  • He sounds so happy:"so glad to have the opportunity to hack your machine." His happy voice just raised tone. He got so much joy just to hack a "machine"
  • @AZTechLabs
    Love how he doesn't tell anyone to disable remote scripting.
  • @ugx7td5
    Plot twist: The hacking software has never been removed.
  • @faktamerapu7743
    This is fake. He was not punching random keys and said "we are in!"
  • @novocaine88
    Wow, that os update looked so legit. You'd deserve it if you feel for that tbh...
  • Hacker : Russian Interviewer : Indian Company : American Hotel : Trivago
  • @alphabee8171
    She's probably worried late in the night if it's still accessible 😂
  • @imma5269
    This is an incredibly simple man in the middle attack. You could teach a 14 year old nerd to do this in a span of 1hr max. Very impressive lmao Edit: as someone (correctly) pointed out in the replies, this comment isn’t entirely fair. These attacks are easy to execute if you use prewritten scripts & tools. Doing it all yourself is a different story. Overall, I’m glad they published this story. The public needs to be aware of this stuff b/c it will only become more and more important as time goes on

    She's on Apple the most secure device out there and will send out multiple pop ups before your device is compromised like demonstrated in the video, the only reason he was able to access her device is because she wanted it to be hacked.
  • @aj1379
    "A website you normally use like Yelp" Yeah right
  • @zelios2361
    I didn't realize only Russians can hack
  • @quin633
    Me after watching this: covering my camera at all times
