On September 13, 2024, specifically in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, around 2 PM, people were sitting safely everywhere. Suddenly, in a single moment, a text message arrived on a small messaging device called a pager. Young men pulled the devices from their pockets to read the message. Exactly three seconds later, the device exploded. Imagine, in a single moment, approximately 5,000 pagers exploded. The scenes that appeared and emerged after the bombing were unbelievable. In a single moment, approximately 5,000 people fell to the ground, some dead and some injured. There was no missile, no plane, and no conventional bombing. A small device the size of a palm turned into a weapon, and a simple message carried out the strongest cyber attack in human history. Here, I want to tell you a few small pieces of information. Did you know that the mobile phone in your hand could be a weapon against you? In this video, we will not talk about a story that will happen; no, in this video, we will talk about a story that happened, and its victims were 1.5 billion people. For those seeing me for the first time, I am Abu Al-Sadiq, and I talk about everything strange and mysterious on planet Earth. As usual, before we begin, I want you not to believe everything around you. They said the war had ended and there was a truce, but we saw neither a truce nor anything. That's why we are still boycotting and continuing. And don't let this video, even if you like it, make you forget that there is no victory except from God. Today, we will talk about the new era we have entered. An era where wars are no longer just in the sky or on borders. War has become inside your devices. And what happened with the pagers was a small reminder that the most dangerous thing in the world is not a nuclear bomb. The most dangerous thing in the world is when espionage happens. A paid service, a subscription to a website where you pay money to be hacked. This story is not about a skilled hacker or private companies controlling the world. This story is about you, the one watching this video. This must spread worldwide. Share it with all your friends so they know how much planet Earth is compromised today. For those who stumbled upon this video by chance and knew us, we are a family of 5.8 million people who love to know all the details about very strange topics and learn from them. Subscribe to our channel and activate the notification bell, and make sure the notifications are activated on your mobile so we don't get lost from each other in the sea of internet videos because, as we always say, all stories, even if they are similar, are not like when I tell them to you. My beginning, Lord, expand my chest for me, and make my affair easy for me, and untie a knot from my tongue, so they may understand my speech. O God, I seek refuge in You from arrogance. Before we delve deeper into the world of companies and software, let's go back to the pager incident itself. Let's briefly understand what actually happened because from this story, two main ideas will form the basis of this video. According to the security and media reports that emerged after the pager incident, all reports agreed on one idea: the devices did not explode due to a normal message. What happened was deeper, more precise, and more dangerous. According to the information that was circulated later in the media and security analyses, the devices were not hacked inside Lebanon. The tampering with the devices occurred outside the country, specifically in 2006. Can you imagine how old this story is? What happened was that during the shipping phase, the devices were intercepted at the port. A specialized team from the entity opened the entire shipment. The entity knew where these devices were going and who the recipient would be. The entity learned this intelligence information in two ways: first, by monitoring the shipping route and communicating and negotiating with the parties involved. The second way was through prior intelligence information that the entity was able to obtain from within Lebanon. In short, there were spies who told them that a deal to purchase pagers would take place. After this news arrived, the shipping route was monitored, and it turned out that the news was correct, and devices were on their way to Lebanon. This means the bombing and hacking were not a momentary signal that occurred in 2024. This matter was planned since 2006. The destination of the devices and their delivery date were known. The important thing is that the devices were manufactured in Taiwan, and then they were shipped to the port of Budapest in Hungary. There, inside the port, a secret intelligence team affiliated with Mossad hacked this shipment. Minor modifications were made inside the devices, in addition to planting a small amount of explosives, so that the device's appearance remained normal, but it was a small bomb that would explode immediately when activated at the specified time. How long did this moment take? When did the specified time arrive? After 18 years. Imagine, 18 years, and the devices were working, and no one sensed that there was malicious and shocking software and a small amount of TNT capable of exploding inside the devices. The surprise was that when the opportune moment arrived after 18 years, it was activated remotely without missiles and without airstrikes. Approximately 5,000 people were injured. These people fell due to a small activation message that detonated all these devices in a single moment. Here, we must focus on two details, and these, as I told you, will form the basis of the story. The first detail, which everyone missed in the pager story, is that the real hacking was not in the explosives and TNT planted inside the device. The real hacking was in the software. The pager device was merely a receiving tool. Due to a specific frequency and programming code, it became a bomb. So, the real secret in this story is the software and the bomb activation system, not the metal, plastic, or TNT. So, what is the second important detail? The hacking. The hacking was not momentary; it was a long time ago, a very long time ago, and yet no one noticed that the device was hacked. Of course, we are not talking about an ordinary entity; we are talking about a trained entity with weight in the region, and it knew it was targeted, yet it could not detect the hacking. This means you, as a user, might have been hacked for years but don't know it. But at some point, this hacking is activated against you without you knowing or expecting it. This is called programmatic killing or programmatic weapon. What is meant by this term? A small program is planted inside your device. This program is not a traditional virus that corrupts your files or annoying ads. It is a program designed to work quietly and record everything: your calls, messages, photos, files, even your keystrokes. The most dangerous thing is that it can turn on your camera, it can turn on your microphone without giving you any indication. This means your device turns into a spy monitoring your every move. So, who makes these programs? The prevailing belief is that international intelligence agencies make these programs, but the information is not correct because no matter how advanced intelligence agencies are, they do not have enough budget and technical equipment to develop, test, and activate such programs. The truth is that there are private companies around the world specialized in what is called legal interception. Their name suggests they are security tools, but the reality is much more complicated than that. These companies sell governments silent entry tools into their employees' devices. Of course, their slogan is always, "Protecting society," but some governments buy such programs not for their citizens, but for citizens located elsewhere. A small device is planted inside the device, and from the moment they plant it, the device becomes yours, and everything becomes exposed. The most dangerous thing about the program itself is that sometimes this program works through vulnerabilities that are impossible to predict, and this is what will surprise and shock you in the story of this video. On February 5, 2015, a person under the pseudonym "Vinas Fisher" decided to attack and hack a company called Hacking Team. Why did he make this decision and why this company specifically? We will find out shortly. The first thing he did was start with a simple Google search. He searched for something called a network diagram. This is something he could obtain if an employee of the company had published code or a programming formula out of pride or to showcase the company's achievements, for example, by publishing, "I wrote this code for this program that allows us to do this." Through this published code, he could hack the company. The important thing is, instead of seeing the company's code or diagram, he found a treasure. He found the LinkedIn account of a network engineer at this company. On his account, he published the models of the devices they were using in the company. This detail, despite being small and perhaps insignificant to an ordinary person, is considered a key in the world of cybersecurity. But the important thing among these devices was a specific device that caught his eye: a VPN SonicWall, an old version of an operating system released in 2011. Four years without a real update, and in the world of vulnerabilities, four years without an update is not a vulnerability; it's an open door through which you can do anything. The important thing is, Fisher did not rush. He built what is called a clean environment, meaning a completely isolated device. He bought the same model of these devices from the internet for 89 euros. He started experimenting, testing, and trying to hack it. That is, forget the company and the devices they have; he got devices like them and kept trying and experimenting until he found a vulnerability to hack it. He tried until he discovered the device's weakness: it accepts system updates without strict verification of the digital source. Therefore, if you can convince the device that the update you are giving it is an official update, it will open the door by itself. The important thing is, he wrote his own hacking code and combined it into a fake update file. The update looks normal, its front-end function is normal, but inside it has a secret port. And to make everything calculated, he put a security mechanism. So, if the company's IT department inspects the device, everything will appear normal. The important thing is, Fisher launched the fake update. And the surprise was on April 12, 2015. A device inside the company downloaded the update. After that, the connection was lost for 17 seconds and then returned, but this time the device was not clean. From this moment on, Fisher had control of the entry gate between the company's network and the outside world. Fisher entered the company's network and did not rush. He began to map the infrastructure of the company's system. He discovered the first shock: he found passwords saved in plain text. These passwords are in front of you on the screen. Imagine a company that sells tools to intelligence agencies, and the system administrator's password is "password." But what he discovered next was more dangerous than this negligence. The company was monitoring its employees. There was a copy of every email, screen recordings of every developer working in the company, and an audio archive of the company's offices in Milan, Italy. Imagine 3,247 hours of internal recordings. They were monitoring the world and monitoring themselves. Fisher downloaded everything. But the big weakness of this company was its backup system. It was not encrypted. As soon as you accessed the system, you could possess everything the company had. The important thing is, Fisher wrote a digital code that connected the device he hacked to the server. He had full access to the virtual copy of their server. Six years of correspondence were all in his hands. He ran the stolen server on his device and extracted the passwords. One of these passwords belonged to the lead developer in the company, and she used this password to access all of the company's programming code. It's possible that what we're discussing has technical details, but I want you to understand the whole game because it could happen to your device. The important thing is, Fisher, through the password, was able to enter the source vault. He was amazed and shocked by everything he saw. What was in front of him was the complete code for a system called Remote Control System. The entire complete version was in front of him, every line, every tool. To understand the idea, imagine I told you that Russia has obtained the manufacturing plans for America's most powerful weapons. Everything related to the manufacturing process is in their hands. What does this mean? It means America is finished. And this is what happened with Fisher. Everything related to this company, 100%, was in front of him. From these plans, he discovered that the company's program was designed to turn any computer or phone in the world into a mobile surveillance device. It turns on the camera, turns on the microphone, copies files, reads messages, and all this without the victim knowing. But the surprise was not just that. The surprise was something deeper because he also found a special folder for vulnerabilities. The folder was named "Zero Day Exploits." It contained vulnerabilities that were incomprehensible, meaning even the manufacturing companies themselves did not know about them, but they kept them aside until their turn came to analyze them and use them to hack global programs and websites. Fisher realized that the most dangerous jewel was here: a vulnerability in the most important program in the world, Adobe Flash. This vulnerability works in every version and every operating system. Do you know what Adobe Flash is or how many users it has worldwide? Adobe Flash is a video and animation editing and design program that is automatically present on everyone's device. Imagine when this program was stopped. In 2021, the company published a statistic that this program was present on 98% of internet users worldwide. Do you grasp the number? He realized that you have programming vulnerabilities for a program present on every computer in the world. This means, according to sources, the vulnerability Fisher obtained was an open door to approximately 1.5 billion devices worldwide. This means a private company owned the key to access billions of devices. I don't know how to tell you this, but we are talking about something the human mind cannot comprehend. The disaster is that Adobe, despite all its power and greatness, did not know. The surprise was also that the company was not using it, but they had sent it to a French researcher for 45,000 euros, and he had been working on it quietly for three years, and no one in the world knew. In short, we are not talking about an ordinary espionage program; we are talking about a market that buys the world's mistakes and turns them into weapons. And Fisher, with what he obtained, did not stop at this code alone. He had full authority over the entire company. He could shut down the system and own it for himself. He could kick the company out of their own program. Imagine hacking Facebook and preventing Mark Zuckerberg from using it. But Fisher did not do that. He remained within the system without anyone noticing, as I told you. The irony is that a company of such power and danger, a single password opened everything. The important thing is, he impersonated the CEO and was able to access the most secret and dangerous thing in the company. How can I tell you this? But suppose you have photos you don't want anyone to see, and these photos could pose a danger to your life, like photos from a party you don't want your parents to see on your device, or photos you downloaded from Instagram, anything that could pose a danger to your life. What do you do? You delete the photos to relieve your mind. But when you delete them, what happens? They go to the deleted items folder, but they remain there for 30 days, right? This is what Fisher did. He said, "Surely there are messages for the CEO that he doesn't want anyone to know about." So, what did he do? He surely deleted them. Therefore, where did these messages go? Exactly, to the deleted messages section, where they remain for 30 days until they are permanently deleted. And this is exactly what Fisher did. He went to that section and discovered that the messages that were supposed to be deleted after 30 days had not been deleted and were still present within the system. A conversation from February 2015 caught his attention. In this conversation, the sales manager was asking the client who they would use the system against. The client told him they would use the hacking program they were buying from the company against terrorists. But it turned out otherwise. The CEO replied to him in an email, saying, "I don't care, send the invoice without discussion." Here, Fisher discovered that this program was not for protecting people; it was a surveillance program, and any entity could buy it. That's why he decided to download the entire financial database, which contained the names of all clients. To his surprise, the client list was extensive, and it didn't just include ordinary people. America, the Entity, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Syria, Sudan, and the list goes on. As for the payments, they were processed through shell companies in Panama. Beside each country was a number called "Infection Capacity," meaning how many people from this vulnerability you purchased could be monitored simultaneously. Some had "500 targets" next to their names, some had "1,000," and some had names for which they could monitor 5,000 simultaneously. And most importantly, there was no regulatory system determining who these people were. Buy the program and monitor whomever you want, even the owner of Hacking Team itself. Okay, but the story was not random at all. It turned out within the messages that specific people were being monitored and targeted: journalists, activists, and dissidents. Out of hundreds of thousands of internal messages, Fisher created a script to perform a simple search. The search he wanted to perform was for any message containing the following words: "journalist," "activist," "dissident," "human rights." Immediately, thousands of results appeared. Add to this a series of messages from 2013 explaining step-by-step how the device of an Ethiopian journalist residing in Virginia was hacked, with illustrative images explaining how to bypass Gmail protection in correspondence. In other messages, there were discussions about targeting protesters in an Arab country. And within the message, one of the technicians wrote, "It's not a problem if we sell to anyone, but the important thing is that we haven't sold to ISIS yet." This means they haven't sold to them yet, but it's very likely they will. Here, Fisher understood something: he didn't hack a company; he hacked an entire international market. And by the way, there are things and messages I cannot tell you so that this video is not deleted. It is enough to say that the Entity was the most important client of this company. A company, and you cannot imagine to whom it reaches and who the hacked individuals are. The important thing is, when Fisher entered the company, he said the real victory is not just entering it; the victory is entering this entire world. How? By copying the Adobe vulnerability. He knew that as soon as he published it, he would force the manufacturing company to release an emergency update within hours. So, he was burning a weapon worth billions. Therefore, he said using this weapon is too early for now. He saw something hidden, which was more important and dangerous, inside the backup system. He saw 43 video recordings that were training sessions for government clients by the company's engineers. They were teaching them how to hack their targets' devices. In one of the clips filmed in March 2015, an employee was explaining to officials from some countries how to send fake update notifications to iPhones, and the victim's phone would turn into a complete listening device with a single click. Here, the number that shocked Fisher was revealed: there were 4,794,000 infected and active devices in a country. The database was not just numbers; it included names, emails, and GPS coordinates. Among the hacked were journalists in Mexico investigating drug trafficking cases, lawyers in Thailand defending protesters, and teachers in Turkey organizing unions and political groups. Imagine that there was someone from Malaysia who was monitored for 1,247 consecutive days, three and a half years. He was monitored 24/7. Every message, every call, every Google search he made was recorded. The important thing is, Fisher kept downloading and monitoring the company's data until July 2015. How much do you think he downloaded from the company's data? 389.89 gigabytes. All this space was evidence only. He did not download everything; he only downloaded things that incriminated the company and proved its involvement in unethical acts. And here, he faced a dilemma: if he published everything now, his existence would be revealed. The company would shut down, and the systems would destroy any evidence he had not yet obtained. This means the leaks must appear as a single strike, nothing else. Therefore, it must be calculated. But the problem was, while he was inside the system and planning, there were movements happening within the company that he was unaware of. The company's engineers noticed strange activity within the system: files being opened at unusual times, connections to addresses unrelated to clients. Therefore, after 72 hours, they decided to conduct a full security audit, and this is how the backdoor that Fisher entered the system through would be revealed. Here, Fisher sensed that something abnormal was happening. He hacked the CEO's phone and listened in on a closed and secret meeting happening there. The strange thing is, you are a hacking company, and your job is to hack the world. How is your system so hacked? How are the passwords so simple and trivial? And most importantly, you realize your system is hacked. How do you have a secret meeting in the company's meeting room, and yet the CEO brings his phone to the meeting? The important thing is, during this meeting, Fisher understood and knew what was happening. Therefore, he chose Sunday night because the Milan office closes on Friday at 6 PM and doesn't reopen until Monday at 9 AM, meaning you have 39 hours of free time. The important thing is, at 11:31 PM on July 5, 2015, the torrent file was uploaded to dozens of servers in Asia and Europe. Rapid spread, faster than any deletion attempt. At 11:39 PM, he accessed the company's Twitter account and wrote a short sentence that was enough to destroy 13 years of work. Within 12 minutes, WikiLeaks republished the same message. Journalists, researchers, and former leakers saw the tweet within an hour, and hundreds of thousands retweeted it. The torrent reached thousands of participants. On Monday morning, employees entered the office and opened their computers. They were shocked by something unbelievable and impossible to believe. The company was exposed, and there were no secret files left. The company was no longer private property; it became public property. Everyone had all the company's information. Fisher opened a link for every person in the world to enter the company's system and do as they pleased. Anyone could see all the company's files. Imagine that some people saw that their email was sold four years ago, meaning someone had hacked them four years ago. One person saw his email sold at an auction. A journalist saw his photos and recordings with his family. The tables turned, and the observer became the observed. The merchant who had connected the whole planet and sold everyone's privacy was exposed to the entire market. And take this as a rule in life: when the dirty one falls, everyone disowns him, and conversely, his partners are the first to fight him. Why? So that their names do not appear in this dirty file. The first thing the company did was denial. The company immediately tweeted as a precautionary measure, saying, "Folks, we are a poor company. We were hacked, and the files that were spread and the links you are supposedly accessing as the company's system are actually viruses. So please do not download them so that your data doesn't get wiped." Of course, you might think I'm joking, but they actually stated this, claiming they were protecting journalists and human rights activists from having their data stolen. They said if they clicked on these links, they would be harmed. But of course, no one believed them. And of course, Fisher was still inside the system, watching the failed rescue attempts. When he saw that the system administrator was trying to take control and manage the situation, he accessed his personal Twitter account, took control of it, and deleted it. Imagine a security expert with 20 years of experience being hit twice on the same morning. The real blow was not just on Twitter; it was four hours later. Among the people who accessed the system through the torrent opened by Fisher was a security researcher named Kark Blaker Shenan. This man opened the Adobe Flash vulnerability folder and discovered a vulnerability. He published a simple proof of concept: "Folks, Adobe is hacked through Flash." This happened at 3:45 PM Milan time. Within minutes, criminal groups began using this vulnerability. This was one of the most famous errors in programming history. This vulnerability was the most exploited vulnerability by ransomware gangs. Suddenly, the weapon that was secret became available to everyone. And the Adobe team, most of whom were on spring break, received emergency calls to come and solve the problem, for God's sake. However, some people were traveling and had turned off their phones. With great difficulty, the entire team met and worked to close this vulnerability. Within 36 hours, an update was released for 1.5 billion devices, making this the fastest update in the company's history. Fisher, while burning the weapon, forced a global company to close a door that had been open for years. On Monday at 11 AM, the Italian Postal Police entered the company's offices. The company whose CEO was sitting in the meeting room five months earlier, presenting to Armenian security officials the achievements of a surveillance program they used on Turkmen officials. The police immediately began questioning the CEO, asking him who had access to these programs and when they changed the passwords. The problem was that everything that was happening or would happen was in vain because the password list had spread worldwide, so there was no need for an investigation because the whole matter was exposed. No entity on Earth could protect this company from scandal and accountability. Every second that passed, journalists were inside the system, reading all the company's emails at their leisure. They were reading the company's emails on how they bypassed the restrictions of any security system. Within 72 hours, the Italian government froze the company's global export licenses. This means these people paid and subscribed to this company, and due to the scandal, they withdrew their subscriptions, totaling 17 million euros. Employees began submitting their resignations as soon as their personal data and home addresses appeared. Imagine 170 developers whose names were linked to thousands of scandals. Governments of nine Arab countries had bought this program and were working on it. There were attempts to hack the most important world leaders, and all this information that was revealed and that I am telling you, and yet Fisher was still inside the company's system. He was recording emergency meetings. Imagine that he recorded the voice of the CEO telling the board of directors, "We are finished, because even if we survive legally, no government will trust us after today." It turned out that this company was selling security programs to some governments as clean programs, but in reality, the company was spying on these governments it was selling to, and then selling this data to whom? To the Entity. The Entity, which turned out to have hacked people, leaders, and officials that your mind cannot believe they hacked. The irony is that this company's job was privacy violation, and it fell because of the cup it was drinking from. A company that sells espionage fell due to espionage. Do you think the matter ended there and that everything was revealed and there was nothing else? But the surprise was that the hidden files that Fisher left for people to see on their own were more dangerous. Inside old attachments from 2012, there was a forgotten compressed file with eight pages. It was a technical specification for a tool that had no official existence, named "Warrior Bride." This tool was a disaster that surpassed the capabilities of the company's own system. If your device has this hacking program on it, wherever you go, you can automatically spread this program to every device around you through radio waves. There is no need to send you a link and have you click on it. I can transfer this program to your phone through radio waves because I am next to you. What's heavier than that is that this program, on its own, by analyzing your behavior patterns through your phone usage, if it sees that your behavior is of interest to the entity that is monitoring you, it automatically starts monitoring you more without human command. The surprise was that this program has no name, meaning it's impossible to search for it or know its location. A real ghost that can enter you from anywhere without any programmatic action. All the protection and caution you take in your life on your phone are in vain. Italian journalists who entered and delved into the company's files discovered that this company's level was average, and there were much stronger companies in the world. They discovered that there is a global digital espionage market worth over $12 billion annually. 37 governments were on their client list. Imagine that there were secret companies selling to over 100 governments. One of the leaked PowerPoint presentations contained a clear pyramid explaining how the story was structured. At the top were major intelligence alliances. In the middle were companies selling tools to regional countries. At the bottom of the pyramid were stolen copies in the hands of criminal groups, the same tools but at different prices. The surprise was that the market is not chaotic; it is very organized, and everyone knows their job in that world. Fisher also revealed an email between Italian intelligence and the company. This email indicates that a Chinese programming code was planted in 2009 in the Android system, meaning from the very first moment Android appeared, it was hacked. The important thing is, on July 9, 2015, Fisher published a new leak containing an additional 63 GB, including 40 hours of training videos. Imagine there was an invoice for an Arab Ministry of Interior for $3.4 million to monitor 600 specific individuals. The hacking and payment were completed within 90 days only. What I want you to know is that this was a medium-sized company that had a vulnerability that could give you access to 1.5 billion devices. So, what about the big companies? Imagine that at the moment Fisher was discovering the company's documents and exposing them, there were 47,000 people being hacked and filmed moment by moment. However, after the files were revealed, the number of hacked individuals dropped to 15,000 within two days. The disaster Fisher caused was opening the door for everyone to enter and steal everything they wanted. This means that people entered and stole these vulnerabilities and started benefiting from them as well. And indeed, this is what happened. Within just 96 hours of the leak, pirated versions of everything began to appear. WhatsApp became gold, blue, and red. Criminal groups in Eastern Europe entered and stole the codes and created fake communication programs. You download the program and are happy that you are hiding your presence and making stories as you wish, but without knowing that a gang worth a penny is hacking you. You open the broadcast, and you are in the bathroom. People were downloading the versions, happy, not knowing what was happening to their phones. They say this company has been exposed, and the police are prosecuting and holding it accountable, but who will control the gangs that entered these vulnerabilities? Here, a market appeared that no one expected at all. The data of this company, with all its hacks, became a beacon for everyone. It's like you removed the guards from a museum with thousands of artifacts. Everyone entered and stole what they wanted, as they pleased. The result: everyone's privacy was lost. So, you, as a hacker, entered the company's data, stole 500 million Gmail account passwords, and went to the dark web to sell them. And the company, to evade legal responsibility, turned its software into a market and severed any connection to it. The vulnerabilities were taken over by three well-known global hacker gangs, who began selling government secrets on the dark web for Bitcoin. And Fisher, he published a step-by-step guide on how the company operated. At the end of the guide, he wrote a clear message: any person with average skills can shake a global surveillance company. And indeed, within six months, other companies were subjected to massive hacks, leaking hundreds of gigabytes. Here, as with any dirty story, the Italian investigation ended without arrests. 16 suspects in nine countries, not one of them was apprehended. They arrested the company's CEO, even the sales manager, anyone who did the cleaning work there, but they didn't arrest anyone from the company. They made us feel like it was a capable company that fell, but on the contrary, no employee was arrested. Why? Because they said there was insufficient evidence, but we all know that someone told them to wrap up the matter and not arrest anyone. The question is, who is Fisher? To this day, no one knows anything about him. A person appeared from nowhere and disappeared in an instant after revealing immense problems. And come, let me make you laugh with this piece of information: imagine that the company tried to return to work under a new name in 2016. The joke is that at their first meeting, it was leaked that at the beginning of 2017, the empire collapsed. The CEO sold his shares for only 2% of their previous value. This means his share, if it was worth $100, he sold it for $2. And at that time, the CEO tweeted a sentence saying, "One person with a laptop destroyed 13 years of work." And unfortunately, it turned out two years later that the scandal that Fisher published and documented was the cause of the theft of data, files, and shady deals worth $18 billion. This means he revealed the truth, but he was the cause of opening a leak market full of scandals. The vulnerability that one person was using to monitor people's phones became available to everyone today, and everyone is stealing and demanding ransom. In 2020, a report was issued clarifying that the data and leaks that the company possessed were sold by hackers for 18 billion euros. And this hack was the cause of the hacking market developing to become stronger and greater, with all hacking companies paying attention and raising their protection standards. This activated and developed the market worldwide. If you wanted to spy on someone, you had to pay 100 euros; today, you have to pay 5,000 euros. All these hacks and the ease you hear about in 2015, what about today? So, don't be surprised if the air we breathe is normal for someone to have developed hacking programs, and we don't know. I don't know how we can protect ourselves from such programs, but what I do know is not to click on any strange link, even if your mother and father sent it to you. Don't click on it, brothers. Stop clicking on links that claim to show you how much your wealth will be in 10 years or what you will look like in 20 years. These are all dangerous at the same time. Please, do not put photos on your phone. Protect your honor and the honor of others because the fuel for these hacks is the files. So, don't keep anything private on your phone. And here we return to the first question we asked at the beginning. Honestly, what is harder and more dangerous: nuclear or a malicious program that can monitor 24/7? Write me your opinion in the comments. And this was our story for today. I hope you liked it. If you are interested in strange stories similar to this video, I advise you to watch the video of Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks. In that video, you will learn how the lies of dozens of people and governments in this world were exposed and how everyone tried to end this site and destroy this person. Tell me your opinion in the comments. Do you think Fisher is an ordinary amateur or a huge official entity that wanted to shake the hacking market a little? And another question: what is more dangerous, the pager explosion, the program that detonated it, or the TNT that was inside the devices? I will see all your comments. I am Abu Al-Sadiq. Peace, and see you in the next video.
