DEFI is great until someone hacks you... then it kinda sucks...
The cybercriminals exploited a vulnerability in Poly Network, a platform that looks to connect different blockchains so that they can work together. Poly Network disclosed the attack Tuesday and asked to establish communication with the hackers, urging them to “return the hacked assets.” [CNBC: www.cnbc.com/2021/08/11/crypt...]

This video is an opinion and in no way should be construed as statements of fact. Scams, bad business opportunities, and fake gurus are subjective terms that mean different things to different people. I think someone who promises $100K/month for an upfront fee of $2K is a scam. Others would call it a Napoleon Hill pitch.
An evil part of me wishes the hacker’s only response was posting a video of himself smashing the hard drive the wallet was on
Cold as ice bro 😂😂
The character arc of this hacker is hilarious. 😂
Yoshi im a fan
My brother .....
He just wanted to be the main protagonist while everyone else was the side character and we just realized that right now.
Lmao I hope its some kid that used his dads shitcoin wallet.. especially the way they acted after the "heist"

When he started referring to himself as a "legend" ... Oh, we know someone who does that, LOL.
hahahahaa
This happens ALOT with hackers. Sometimes they find an exploit, get very far and then realize that what they have done has real world consequences because it was all a game.
Not a hacker, just has a slight rebellious streak. But yeah, it happens. You thought it'd be fun and thrilling yet not expecting much out of it, but then you actually succeeded and you're like.. ehh wtf? Umm
Decentralized system Uses Twitter to communicate .... 🤷🏽♀️
Tech Lead be like: "This is not theft, this is an opportunity" (as a millionaire)
*yes they are reliable and legit*
If he was really trying to be the good guy why didn't he tell the company about the vulnerability and get it sorted instead of blatantly lying through his teeth
I think he was saying he didn't wanna risk informing someone in the company who could exploit the hack instead of fix it.

Oh god I literally love X-ray crystallography. The way that the scientists conjure a 3D model out of a diffraction image of a teeny-tiny crystal blows my mind. Diving deep into this topic really opened my eyes to the abilities of the human brain. I love it.
Crystals to communicate in remote controls are more impressive in my opinion.
@crassgop I'd suggest quantum chromodynamics, but that has the word 'quantum' in it, so... maybe renormalization? Yeah, that sounds pretty boring and, well, normal.
@crassgop Honestly that sounded boring as shit. The word is a lot more boring than what it describes.
The hacker straight up could have been a 15 year old with talent and a healthy dosage of luck. Whoever they were, listening to this sounded very much like a fictional thriller-comedy movie.

@@weiSane No way. Alderson would've had this whole thing painstakingly plotted with plan B's and C's as redundancies. Then he would've just burnt all the coins, or, more likely, distributed them all to wallets below a certain worth of holdings.

not really bro basically just helped a guy scam millions then gave away pocket change lol
There are probably so many people taking small amounts through this exploit and are sooo pissed right now lmao.
I was thinking about that why would you try to take such a massive amount at once? If it was me trying I would be taking maybe a few thousand a day on a bunch of wallets and tumbling it lol.

All the funds were eventually returned. This guy 100% was going to take the money if he could.
Yeah if he could disappear without a trace he would. Wouldn't he have been able to move the money into monero since it was a privacy coin? Then wait it out years before moving it in small amounts.
@@Storm_x He might have gotten away with some of the funds. But monero isn't 100% anonymous. Especially with such large amounts, it would be difficult to completely hide all the transactions even with mixins. Depends how greedy he is. If he only took a few million and slowly sold off his monero. Maybe?
I can’t wait to see what Coffeezilla has to say about the newest Kay video.
Coffee and TL best collaboration 2021
If this hacker is able to get ahold of so much, imagine what someone who planned ahead could have gotten away with.
it would've been funny if the hacker actually burnt the funds, ethereum does have a burn wallet afterall.
the chaos ..!
Not sure why not tornadoing parts of it bit by bit over years.
XD
Doesn't matter, the miners wouldn't have mined the transaction to the burnt wallet. Probably.
It’s what I would have done, why not?
"we are the world" is a truly a classic. Just a wholesome song, written to stimulate donations to Africa. Has a great message and non-political. Clearly co-opted by this wonderful human being.
Should have just sent the lyrics to toto's africa, smh.
Africa is in the state that it is in because we keep throwing money at it, swelling the population without addressing any of the underlying issues.
@@Nick-zp8wk Africa is not in its current state due to other nations "throwing" money at it and swelling its population! It is far, far more complicated than that.
@@jaymevosburgh3660 True, but I’m not sure anyone really likes the “throwing money at it” solution. In Africa, many see it as neo-colonialism and trying to buy and exploit Africa. In the countries donating, the people often see it as a waste of money because it’s going to ineffective governments.
@@Nick-zp8wk giant welfare state. Bad idea

Hey man the content is coming fast, careful of burn out
Please stop trying to ruin a good thing ✋
I was wondering when you were going to talk about this. Heard it on the radio. I was shocked. 🤯🤯
This seems like an Elliot Alderson type. Brilliant genius hacker but a little unhinged up there.
If that was Elliot Alderson, not a word spoken after that, just complete silence.
If this guy was the genius everyone was making out, why steal it all in one lump sum? Why not inconspicuous increments over a period of time (the patient game)? Or numerous smaller amounts to 100s or 1000s of different wallets then filter it through a tumbler/mixer service to retrieve it? Elliot Alderson would've had this all figured out and probably would've donated the coins to charities or just burnt them all. Edit: actually, he would've likely just distributed all the coins to wallets with the lowest sums. And he would've jacked it from the whales to endow it to the shrimps.
Who?
@@JaysonT1 The hacker main character in the Mr. Robot TV show.
@@undefinedvariable8085 He couldn't transfer it slowl, that would've been stupid. Because he only had one chance. Let me explain. Basically the part of the code that was vulnerable was changed so drastically that exploiting it even once would've gotten the attention of the developers which would've been very confused. They would have noticed and fixed it immediately. So what did he do? The part of the smart-contract he exploited had the job of verifying some other part of the code to see if it transferred/handled funds like it is supposed to. The hacker changed its function entirely to "Ignore whatever happens to those funds and how they're handled. Every type of handling is ok.". This allowed him to transfer legit money to his wallet which would've otherwise been disallowed. However this would've also affected all other fund transfers with that smart-contract, and thus was a very risky exploit. So, whatever money he had to withdraw, he had to do it the first time.

no, he would have put the coins in, and got most of the same coins back out.

TECH LEAD RESPONDED TO YOU AGAIN COFFEE🤣😂
Defi assumes that politicians, regulators, and providers of capital will voluntarily give up control of the transfer & payment mechanisms. Which just makes me laugh and laugh
There are politicians all over the spectrum who support decentralized finance. Everything also needs to go through the democratic system. It seems very possible enough people will support it that politicians will too, just to get votes. Also it is very difficult to outlaw protocols and property in the west, and the whole point of decentralization is to protect against government or corporate interference so it could adapt its technology if it had to.
Love the video man aha
