We need a Vice documentary on how Vice laid off hundreds of employees while giving out millions in bonuses to their leadership team.
You need to come up with a comment that is less dumb.
@@magesalmanac6424lol says you
@@magesalmanac6424Why ? he is 110% on point in asking What the fck happend ?
what's your gender@@magesalmanac6424
@@magesalmanac6424 Vice just fired the entire news team. You're the idiot in question.
8 years later and nothing has changed
Just add Pegasus, etc.....now it's just a condition of money - if they can afford it, they can hack anyone
nothing changed, just the technology getting faster and powerful
Right? 8 years later and YT releasing 8 year old videos that say they were uploaded 10 hours ago. MATH
Oh great, I just gave away what's left of my unintellectual property brothers.
Because no one in power wants it too. They are invested in China and getting paid back. Who cares what happens to the peasants.
An almost 10 year old video reposted or posted for the first time? It's not irrelevant but I'd love a clear marking of this as archive footage.
it's in the description
VICE is not the same organization it was prior to the buy-out.
They've been doing it for almost 10 years too. Randomly reuploading videos for views with no real information as to why. Like all of Hamiltons Pharmacopeia just reuploaded for no real reason.
It's more relevant now. Especially considering the current hits we are taking from the cyber side. It's a full court press on the U. S. Since Covid, the level of awareness and understanding has increased significantly across the board. Therefore, this becomes very relevant.
I'm hoping whoever's left is just uploading with abandon, godspeed editor
"you won't see American companies handing data over to the government" that didn't age well
Yeah wtf was that? Even in the Bush era the govt was forcing companies to hand over all kinds of data!
22 hours ago. More like they talking sh*t
@zagarak said _"' 'you won't see American companies handing data over to the government' "_ She said that you won't see US government organizations just handing secrets over to companies, not the other way around. It's a big difference.
Actually she said "you won't have an American intelligence officer meet with a fortune 500 company ceo and just hand over that and say 'here, this is what we got from the chinese'". She doesn't expressly state who is handing over what. Interpret it as you wish but if you're going to requote a misquote, requote it verbatim. I'm just saying that statement didn't age well when you have mark Zuckerberg doing public interviews saying American intelligence officials did just that.
@@zagarak You were paraphrasing, so I paraphrased too. Thanks for supporting my statement.
They have TEMU. Where your demographics and personal information is worth .99 cents. Hacked?
Exactly…..
what is facebook?! or does?
TEMU, Tiktok (where people willingly upload their location/homes/personal life), Tencent, etc, the list is very very long.
Agree, Temu and TikTok are Spyware for China. 😮
So many ppl know this and just don't care. SMH😮
anything digital is susceptible to a leak, there is no perfect system, your data is always at risk
They could start by asking less s***
@@GamerbyDesign As a programmer, we have to store these things. Anything you enter that relates to security or the function of the application, is stored, and thus, susceptible to breach.
@yesyes-om1po Bad programming. I've worked at companies were the sensitive data was only used when the transaction was made and then deleted.
@@GamerbyDesign ??? How do you compare two values when one does not exist. The other value needs to exist somewhere, if not on their servers, then on somebody else's servers, which are also vulnerable to breach.
@@yesyes-om1po Not into Data minimization are you?
We don't report on our own hacking, for obvious reasons. But I bet that'd be interesting. You know we fkn sht up worldwide.
As an Android developer, every time I add support for Huawei devices, the libraries Huawei uses are 95% the same, meaning their contents and 100% function the same as Google's libraries. They are usually just some time behind as they copy it from Google.
Google steals most of their code from European open source software so it's become a circle of life lol
probably the same company different contry
@@zacharywatson5531 Huawei and Google are not the same company 🤣
Are you serious? They should be 100% same. They ARE android. The later OS Huawei is using is Harmony OS. They have their own sdk. Though it is said Harmony OS has a lot same as Andorid too.
@@hengzhang9671 I'm talking about libraries, such as QRCode reader library you add into your app either from hms library or google library. Not to mention outside of Pixel, there is pretty much no clean Android, they change their OS from the stock Android
The problem is that the US government doesn’t treat the Chinese cyberwar like it’s a war. They invest more in guns than asymmetric warfare.
China is waaaay ahead USA with cyber warfare and technology itself
Yeah our top talent is hired by big tech companies. If you can code or hack why earn a paltry government job when google pays better? But in china or Russia you can be forced into it.
@magesalmanac6424 eh I think most go into cypersecurity companies which gets contracted by the govt
what china is doing rn is what us already did when internet was a thing in 19s, they are way ahead so dont really need to worry about it.
I think you have no idea what you're talking about
So this is why I keep getting weird calls, voicemails and text messages from Chinese numbers
Change your number and email? You've been getting annoyed for 10 years and you just tolerate it?
If you have at&t, they have an app that will automatically block calls that are spam. They won't be able to even send you a voicemail unless it's a debt collector. I kept getting texts about a "usps package" that was unable to be delivered, and a text entirely in chinese about thanking me for a piano lesson... multiple times from multiple numbers. I don't get those texts anymore. The app is called Active Armor. It also comes with a vpn. If you get something like Aura or visit DeleteMe, you can get your number, email, and other things removed from the internet, at least temporarily. Google offers that service too.
The fact that we get free videos from VICE News on KZhead is priceless, keeping the education and knowledge alive. 🙏🙏🙏
amen.
My info got compromised and all I did was manage kitchens/flip burgers on military bases around Europe. I think the worst has yet to come regarding these cyber attacks
keep your private files or computers offline ffs why are important computers with vital files on it allowed to be connected to the internet does not make sense
The US does this to every country and foreign companies as well.
Eh not quite. It's like comparing us and north korean prisons.
@@tracklizard4018 aehmmm, Like Guantanamo?
you sound like a communist or a yellow jacket
ah, the usual whataboutism strikes again.
No we don't steal company data to basically make their products 😂
People say Computer Science and IT is a dead field when in reality it's more alive than it's ever been. Get as many cybersecurity certificates as you can! Cybersecurity is the future.
Totally agree
Good luck getting an entry level job if you're over 30 though. Edit - it's kinda BS that none of my replies show up.
Who says computer science and IT is a dead field?
@@jayspeidellIt's very possible, if you put yourself out there, do the work and everything it can happen. The challenge with entry level roles though is that they don't always end up advertised very often so they're hard to both hunt down, and to get your foot in the door at them as they're also very very highly competitive versus more specialized roles where employers might have a much smaller applicant pool to choose from
No one says that
So glad that Vice documentaries haven’t been impacted by the recent Vice misfortunes.
this is from 2016. they're holding on to the once great past
Oh John you are so naive
Vice was hacked y the Chinese and were put out of business. This message was brought to you by a chinese AI bot 😅
This aired in 2016, vice is done brother.
Vice is dead, they're just recycling content, they have been for a long time.
So this is like 10 years old?
@hiroshi138 It's 8 yrs old (2016). The info is in the description for the video. ✌️
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the US finance colleges research, then private companies take what was publicly funded and make it private?
Or the researchers go and form a startup? In either case, if the research pans out, the government may hire the private company as a contractor. A huge amount of what our government accomplishes is through contracts with companies that have the expertise. Sometimes the lines even get a little blurry, because government and private employees work side by side on the same projects.
@@Dwigt_Rortugal The point remains that it's still the government that funds the research and not the private companies with all of their expertise. It's expensive, there is no guarantee of success and last but not least if the research was done by a private entity the results would either be patented or become trade secrets, so the research wouldn't be as beneficial to society.
@@JerehmiaBoazYes great point
This whole video all I was thinking was “poor little corporations. They’re the only ones allowed to steal intellectual property and profit off it. “🎻
When vice was actually good
I think it's practically necessary these days to do "false bribes" within your own company (including government and military) to determine who would be at risk for taking the bait, then you simply fire those people and cut all ties with them. And this should have been happening before now, I think it would have lessened the risk of so many of these breaches that have occurred. And the false bribes would need to be very tricky, like not always the same approach to the employee that way no one ever truly can tell real from fake. Employees and gov personnel would be quite more hesitant to ever consider real bribes this way.
The US may not be flooded with cheap versions of whatever product they steal, but the rest of the world certainly is being flooded with these cheap products. Sadly, we here in Australia seem to not be able to resist the urge to buy cheap chinese products that we neither need or have a use for. Products like the formula for white paint however is concerning and here in Aus we now no longer manufacture our own solar panels due to under-cost overseas imports. Please wake up world and protect your vital manufacturing industries for your own future or your future will be not yours.
The sad thing is Australia was at the cutting edge of solar in the 80s and 90s when it was starting out, now thanks to the government's of the day and foreign nations taking all the IP and selling it back at a cheaper rate they have nothing to show for it.
blame your own government mate or perhaps you wanna go a metaphysical, the entire capitalist system. you buy what you pay for, the choice is always yours.
Thankfully this is not happening to Mexico we are actually getting businesses from different countries like America is starting to go to Mexico for manufacturing but only going because it’s cheaper the pay is not amazing even tho the peso has gotten stronger it’s still not the best for what there worth
@@ayw5118 I think this person is blaming their own government.
This aired in 2016, nothing has changed.
Every chinese student has to study "The Art of War".... let that sink in for a few seconds...
A cyber security guy gave a lecture at our company meeting and he said, 'The most difficult part of cyber security is the people'. 'You can rewrite code., you can isolate networks., but people like to be helpful and that is all it takes for the hacker to get in'. 🕵♂ By the way, may I also remind you the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔 In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people. Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 😔
Data breach are quite common these days.
🕵♂ beware.
Social engineering
My jaw dropped as I read Native American population in their motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION.. It is a shockingly sad truth. 😔
"Greed is an animal. Greed is a major driving force behind Genocide, Slavery, Colonialism and Colonization." In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return to rightful owners. Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on? Speaking of Europe which is actually a huge livable Continent with 45 nations. Russia alone is a ginormous nation which occupies nearly half of Europe with a relatively small population. Nearly half of mainland Asia, from Siberia to Far-East Asia also is inside Russia. By the way, the 'land grab' is more of the same in Asia-Pacific region where European Colonizers such as Britain and Russia have already Colonized half of Asia, stretching from Australia/New Zealand, to Siberia/Far-East, all in Asia-Pacific region. The fact that they need to repent & repay their sins & crimes. After all, it's "a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do" thing. Like I said, repay and repent for your long overdue crimes and sins. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. "History is written by the victors." - Napoleon Bonaparte Speaking of 'the rule of Law', may I ask where is the rule of law when the West is practicing centuries-long global Slavery, Colonialism & Colonization? May I ask when will the West face justice for their notorious centuries-long global crimes of Slavery, Colonialism and Colonization from North/South America to Australia/New Zealand? Speaking of 'crime'.., remember, it’s only a crime if you lose. The Anglo Western bloc had been on the winning side for about three centuries. Obviously, they couldn't care less about the "crimes" any more.
MAN I missed this show. It is really informative and taught me a lot about cyber security.
At 3:20 he says googoo haha
lmaooo
GOOGOO
For the recond.. March 5th when the Facebook, Instagram were down..
Immediately you think of an AWS s3 Bucket that was wide open , none of the leadership could even navigate a bash script
oh no.. my data... im still FUCKING HOMELESS
Subtitles in English, please!
What is happening at 7:44 what type of attack is that how to do that?
A process ignited when the data amount notified or became flagged as soon as it was sent and received and there was no accepting or opening it.
I don't have to watch a video they call it TikTok
This is about way more than finding where rando teens live, they steal infrastructure data, government employees, banking data, important stuff.
We still do business in china. Thats the problem right there. Never should have been allowed in the first place.
everything you own is made in china. all talk
Easy to say, go tell that to Steve Jobs.
Chinese get things done cheaper and faster
You sanctioned russia yet somehow the chips that controls their long ranged missiles still gets to their hands - including industrial machines. You don't do business with north korea yet they hack you... It is really challenging being innovators(be it the US or other countries) - you'll be targeted in any way or form (by the US or other countries). America is a capitalist country - not doing business with the 2nd largest economy in the world would mean great economic consequences, in not just US and China, but the world
Trade is what keeps the peace. We'd rather have trade wars than actual wars.
But Google has also offices inside China as well. So how is this being hacked? So they let their own employees be accessed.... by their own google employees from inside China as well, right? So... ... I bet that, this isn't released... or...
Did a deal in shenzhen, figured out how to increase mmol/j for LED grow lights without increasing heat towards the plant. They literally stole everything and started reselling under the same company.
What made you think that it was safe to do business there? Even big corporates get screwed. Reminds me of how the biggest Display Chinese Manufacturer BOE stole patented technology from Samsung and produced on their own. Samsung was contracting BOE as supplier.. Last year they filed a complaint.. Good luck with that.
Yes, this is old news, but still important. 😊
Ppl just don't know. They think Tik Tok is safe. China learns so much about a person based on their app use. Way worse than FB & FB itself is bad.
not only china does this russia does this too
everyone does this numnuts, the US too
Every country steals trade secrets and anyone saying otherwise is either oblivious or lying
china is a more major threat to the US comparing to russia's needs from these cyberwarfare campaigns but when you see how russian state-sponsored hackers were able to manipulate the US's election system i totally agree with what you have said.
russia do it just for ads mailings, lol.
Yeah but russia doesnt sell anything electronic worth buying. Really i dont know what wed buy from russia other than vodka
People who fall for phishing attacks ought to be ashamed of themselves.
This is so old, why does it say 5D old?
Didn't Vice just do a massive layoff?
This aired in 2016, vice is done brother.
Yes? So?
Poor corporations
those corporations sadly keep us comfortable at home. once they go down its time for remodeling new society lol
Who are?
if these hackers are doing this as badged government employees on government time for a government paycheck, how is this not an act of war and how are we not responding as such?
Why are we seeing so many videos from 2016 like this one, particularly regarding hacking? 🤔
Vice you are truly impressive.
This aired in 2016, vice is done brother.
American companies: "Stealing IP is only ok if you get away with it legally!" Am I the only one here that thinks our IP and copyright system needs an overhaul anyways? Maybe this is the kick in the ass we need to reform the system and just start making better products. Planned obsolescence is a terrible system and really needs to go.
Interesting take... if true, I agree.
Thats true
Yes, Europe is miles ahead in Data Security and how it can be used.
But…. Money!😢
Pray tell
Crowd strike is cutting edge. CRWD is the ticker
The cyberwar series was one of the best programs Vice ever made. Hopefully they realize it and start the program again.
I exposed my home assistant to the internet so that I can like control my lights remotely. And within a week I already recorded 2 failed login attemps from Henan, China.
If they're not on its own VLAN, you're just asking for trouble.
Mmm sounds like you need a router and modem upgrade 😮
@@DatSick lol I do want to but maybe it's already overkill. My router/firewall is infinitely more powerful than any commercial stuff money can buy, and also cost less because I built it myself with my old PC parts
How is this not an act of war? America grow some balls again!
This aired in 2016, nothing has changed
@@OLDMANWAFFLES okay thanks. But still america could have done more then. Actually responding in a way that made them not want to keep doing it. America needs to get it together.
China wants the American dream
LOL How is it that Americans are so arrogant and yet so senile? If you want to speak about "acts of war" go ask some Iranian about "Stuxnet" And if you're so "karen-cerned" about "data privacy" go speak with your own NSA
You think America under Biden would even stand a chance with war with china not even talking nukes. Yeah we’d be fecked
Nothing terrifies me like Cyber Crime 😰😰
3:48 woow, so bravee
Was this just in the can?

Should do a documentary on T mobiles consistent data leaks
If you are on tictok or temu none of this matters you have freely given everything private away
It’s alarming to consider the scale and impact of such operations on global security and economy.
Chinese say one thing, do another. Without copy paste the Chinese giant wouldn't exist, and I don't mean ctrl C 😂

They need to say what year this is from when posting.
It says it in the description bro
I wish I were important enough to have data worth stealing.

😂😂😂
12:33 guys pupils tells me a story 😂
masterpiece documentary
Well done , vice news always great to see vice news at work .

"or replicate them in the future"
You can have my data. It’s not worth a dime anyway 😂
Corporations and intelligence agencies disagree.
Crowdstrike demoing the DarkComet RAT in 2024 is gold! No hate, just had a hit of nostalgia
The video is from 2016, Instand corrected. Still a great nostalgia hit!
Yeah had a feeling it was old since it didn't have either of our most recent senior discount presidents
So what can we do about it?
Spend all your disposable income on everyday goods
The Internet wasn't meant to be used for financial transactions. Honestly, I'd say it's too late to stop them. Still I wouldn't use Tik Tok, Temu, Wish, Alibaba etc..
This aired in 2016, nothing will change bro
Great reporting Vice!
Them Chinese CS new grads going for that bag 💀
I believe that it's always been obvious and really. There's nothing we can do to stop them.
I recommend the book Red Handed. Currently reading it and it provides a lot of detail about China and US relations
What goes around comes around.
I don't think people understand. If you play a game on your phone, from an app. You already have given your personal info out. And if that game offers any 'perks' and you pay for them. You have offered more of your personal info. We provided a door for them. All they did was find a way to open it.
yes, you guys American will soon be replaced with Chinese Made Americans clones
Really interesting
will not be sad to the the end of vice, but will be happy to see the documentary about the end of vice.
As Americans we should, with absolute conviction, hold people accountable.
If this was an individual what would happen?
Sf 86 has your whole life info snd all family members, it’s 90 pages and takes 2 weeks to complete. That’s an insane amount of info
TF is he talking about SF86s being proprietary?
My only question is aside from the mega companies,do these Chinese hackers target folk like me for my monthly minimum wage or am I probably safe .
Ivan’s and Bali India are hacking for bank money. They bribe the local police for protection.
Shocking n maybe true
Recruiting the enemy also hopefully prevents them from fighting against you...
American Superconductor's software thief was Serbian. Serbia is the Russian allied county NATO fought to end the Bosnia war in the 1990s.

This is the price we pay for partnering and doing business with this country in trade for cheap goods
Explain cheap goods?
Funny how people say WE..
Pay your employees

Nice to see the old vice
Facebook just crashed this morning.......
China is behind it
yup. this has nothing to do with shtty fb server. must be hacked from chinese in the otherside of the earth.
