Dia-Hacker yang Paling Dicari di Dunia, Mengapa dan Siapa Dia…?

Greetings, viewers of Setia Mata Ketiga. Today, we are going to explore the hideout of the number one hacker in the world, Kevin Mitnick. In court, the defendant has the ability to launch a nuclear missile only by using a public phone and whistling into the microphone to contact the North American Air Defense Command, NORAD. Although Kevin then said on television that he had never heard of such a stupid technology and laughed to hear it in court, the judge was finally convinced by the evidence and dropped the isolation cage on him without contact with the outside world unless necessary. After being released, Kevin appeared on television and revealed his trick. He gave the usual portable power supply cable to the host and asked, if this is the cable you found on the desk when you really needed power, would you plug it into the computer? The host replied, you said before about the USB that fell on the floor. I know that. I definitely won't just plug it in. But is this cable also a problem? But I think I will use it. Kevin smiled and took the remote control while saying that the distance is effective up to 300 feet or about 91 meters. I just need to press the button whenever you plug in the power supply cable. Try to pay attention to this lower left corner. And it only takes 3 seconds. Now try to look at my computer. I can control it from a distance. I can even open your computer camera and see you. The host was shocked for a moment while Kevin continued to say, Next, I just need to put this cable on your desk or more directly, plug in your new portable power supply, open the packaging, replace the cable with the one that has been modified, then close the packaging again and send it to you. And you won't be suspicious of the original power supply cable, will you? This is the number one hacker in the world. What's terrible is not only its technology, even the FBI is cold-blooded with its ability to manipulate the behavior of people that it uses without being detected. The FBI is obsessed with its social engineering skills. For example, Kevin often pretends to be a courier and enters the company building to send letters. When the receptionist receives the letter and fills in the form, he looks at the ID plan on their chest, then makes the same fake plan or even sometimes it doesn't have to be exactly the same, just with Photoshop at home. Kevin said in his autobiography that 99% of people only see a glimpse of the plan and don't pay attention to it. With that fake plan, he can follow the employees of the technical department to smoke together outside. Then return with them and enter the technical department. There, he can install malware, control the computer, listen to conversations, activate the camera, steal Sandy's words, and infiltrate the main server. Finally, he finds millions of credit cards on the server and processes the data. At that time, Kevin robbed a netcom company and stole more than 20,000 credit card accounts, including those owned by millionaires and elites. In his autobiography, Kevin said that if he wanted, he could use one credit card every day of his life without running out. But he never intended to use it. His goal is to plunder his pleasure, like a chess player who only wants to win. When the FBI caught him, there was no one who could accuse him because he did not use credit card data. If he wanted, he could get billions of dollars, but he didn't do it. Just like a naughty kid who was curious and did it for fun. Who is this eccentric genius? The story began in 1963 in Los Angeles. Los Angeles, 1963. That year, Kevin was born into an unhappy family. His mother worked in various fast food restaurants and his father said he worked as a salesman in a large company. When Kevin was three years old, his parents divorced. In his autobiography, Kevin said that he often moved house when he was young, did not have friends. Later, he found out the reason for moving house. It turned out that his mother had been married three times during that period and had several girlfriends who often hit him. Because of this, Kevin suspected that these people were a bit of a form of someone who opposed the authorities. According to Kevin's story, when he was ten years old, there was a girl who secretly liked him and often took him home to learn magic. Kevin was happy and fell in love with magic. Even though he couldn't afford the equipment, magic opened the door to the art of deception for him. The First Time He Became a Hacker One day, a bus driver said that he had just found a police radio on a Motorola phone that made it possible to hear police conversations. Kevin felt this was very cool, kept praising and admiring it. The driver was a radio lover. Then after work, he showed his radio to Kevin and used the police network to call for free through automated services. This made Kevin impressed. So he started attending radio class and after a few weeks of listening, he learned Morse code and the principle of radio work. When the teacher in the evening class finally noticed this little boy, he was surprised because the official radio license had been given. It was unexpected for a 12-year-old boy to pass the radio license test on his first try. What a talented boy! Soon, Kevin started skipping school and spending time at the radio shop which was located further from his house. Every time he got on the bus, the cost was 25 cents. So Kevin got a clever idea. That day, Kevin was sitting next to the bus driver and said, I'm working on a school project and need some interesting patterns in the cartoon. The hole in this bus ticket is very perfect. Can you tell me where I can buy this hole puncher? The bus driver was happy to give the address of the shop that sold the hole puncher. Kevin was shy to his mother to get 15 dollars and buy a hole puncher. Next, he needed an empty ticket. So, he followed the bus to the bus cleaner and found an empty ticket stack in a garbage dump. Kevin was small and then began to travel for free throughout Southern California and felt very happy. However, in his autobiography, Kevin reflected on whether this caused problems for him. His mother thought he was smart. His father said that this showed a proactive mind and the bus driver who knew him only laughed. Although he seemed naive, this led him to the wrong path in his life. At the age of 13, when the Jewish children were having a bar mitzvah ceremony, Kevin was not excluded. For your information, bar mitzvah is a ritual for men who want to enter adulthood as a symbol that the man is no longer a child. Usually when a man enters the age of 13, Kevin was sent by his mother to Ibrani High School to learn to sing. However, Kevin always hid radio books underground under his singing books and studied silently. When the test came, Kevin said that it looked like an instinct. He imitated the accent and gesture of a Jewish rabbi, making his teacher feel that if he did not pass, it was disrespect to religion. Even though his singing was not good, he still passed. His parents blamed him after learning about this, but only recently did Kevin realize that this was a social engineering technique. He has diligently trained for a long time, controlling others by making them do things they usually wouldn't do without arousing suspicion. Next, through underground books, Kevin knows a lot of phraking, that is, people who like to use ancient network techniques to hack other people's phones. Their techniques are very sophisticated, but after Kevin joined, he began to use social engineering to improve their phraking techniques. For example, one time he pretended to be an internal engineer and called the operator's office, saying that he was Jake from the secret phone number search service and needed to talk to a manager. When the manager came, he said, Do you accept the memo that we will change the phone number? The manager checked and said no. Kevin then told him to use the number 9962 for the phone search, but the manager refused, saying that they always used 0055. Kevin also got the secret internal number he wanted. Then, he used various identities to get the name of the internal employee's ID with the internal search number. He found star numbers and addresses like Roger Moore, James Gardner, and Bruce Springsteen. Then he called Iseng like, Hello Bruce, how are you? Does your wife know about the latest incident? Kevin got crazier and crazier, even contacted the other top stars and laughed at their conversation. But one day, an operator suspected him. Kevin pretended to be a superior and scolded the operator on the phone, who was finally scared. That night, Kevin received a radio signal that said his identity and gave him a contact number. The person was Levi's Divine, who later became a friend of Kevin's. They developed a new level of deception. For example, with the McDonald's spying system. When a police car comes to take orders, they will say, Sorry, we don't serve the police. Lelucon Became Evil Pacific Bell Telephone Company, now known as AT&T, is one of the largest communication companies in North America. At that time, the company had a server called Cosmos. A lot of North American communication data was processed and exchanged in this server room. Cosmos is like a mascot for telephone hackers. Although Kevin was once Cosmos, he didn't want to share it with many people because he once shared the back door of a small company. And his girlfriend thought Kevin was taking his girlfriend away because they were always together in front of the computer. In his anger, he took revenge on the company system and made all the printers print the nickname here until the paper ran out. This almost made Kevin go to jail for children. Although Kevin usually doesn't show off his skills, in this encounter with the hacker, the atmosphere is very cheerful. An accountant named Ross suggests to see the Cosmos server room around. Kevin, show me how you use social media to sneak in. Louis felt that Ross could be trusted and had great skills. So, Louis first suggested buying gloves and gloves. Then, he searched the garbage bin in their back yard. When it was noon, just when no one was there, Kevin followed them. But after buying gloves and gloves, they found the back yard clean without a single sheet of paper. Kevin laughed and said, throw away all those useless things. Follow me. Then Kevin, like a nightclub guard, walked straight to the front door. The guard just asked, where do you want to go? and asked them to register. They didn't even need to show their identity. Kevin registered at room 108, which is the Cosmos server room. The guard didn't say anything and the three of them walked in calmly. Inside, they found a lot of important documents, operating manuals, and even a sign with the word Sandy. It was amazing. They brought out a few boxes of documents without a single question from the guard. At first, they planned to look for a photocopy shop to sell the documents and return them. But there was no photocopy shop that opened at 2am. The documents were brought home at high risk. This time, Lewis's girlfriend, who was a prostitute, leaked this incident and Kevin was arrested. He was sentenced to 90 days of psychological evaluation at the children's detention center. There, a kind psychologist told him, you are just addicted to hacking, not a cruel criminal. Try to overcome this addiction. Actually, the diagnosis of the doctor at the time was not called an addiction to hacking, but an addiction to the internet. The same with today's concept. However, Kevin did not have an online game at the time. He was obsessed with the hustle and bustle of the internet world. And the doctor's advice was really useful for Kevin. Even after leaving the rehabilitation center, Kevin could not continue his higher education because the middle school above him was overloaded. He managed to pass the GED test, the general education development test, and enter a technology institute. There, he met Bonnie, the woman who happened to be his wife. After graduating, the two of them lived together. Kevin's life slowly returned to normal. From the age of 16 to 22, although his anxiety still often appeared, he was calmer and did not make any more mistakes. However, at the age of 23, Kevin fell into a trap. At that time, Kevin was planning to immediately transfer $ 3,000 to marry Bonnie. He helped a deli, which is a place that sells pure food, not foreign or foreign, to develop a sales system. But in a loud phone call, Bonnie told him that their house had been robbed and their computer stolen. Kevin immediately went home to check and found that even though his computer was missing, the wedding money he had hidden in the closet was still intact and neatly arranged on the dining table along with a tour guide letter from the Santa Cruz police. It turned out that a software company in Santa Cruz was hijacking it. The company's security consultant, after finding Kevin, often hacked their system and couldn't stop him, pretending to be friends with Kevin. They communicated by sending files and becoming close friends. Kevin, who was very loyal, thought that they were not malicious because his friend built a hacker account with the highest access rights for him in the company system. Kevin used the account to learn about their software development technology. But now everything was revealed and Kevin only realized that he had been deceived. The company asked Kevin to pay a loss of US$1.4 million. However, it turned out that Kevin only went in to learn without committing any crimes such as following a radio course at night school without malicious intent. However, to explain this in court, he needed a lawyer and the hard-earned US$3,000 wedding money was only enough to pay for the lawyer's face money. At this critical moment, his mother and grandmother lent money to help Kevin while Bonnie still insisted on marrying him. Although Bonnie's parents were not present at the wedding, Bonnie entertained Kevin that everything would be fine. And it was true. Thanks to the lawyer's efforts, the company said that they would not demand or ask for a loss of US$1.4 million if Kevin told them how he managed their system. Kevin explained his techniques and his life was back to normal. This couple lived happily and the shop around where Kevin worked began to introduce new customers to him. Everything seemed fine. Kevin even became fat because his life was calmer. But a few years later, a disaster struck him. Betrayal On his journey, Kevin had a hacker friend named Lenny DeCicco. They often worked together in hacker adventures with Kevin as a leader and Lenny as a supporter. Lenny often challenged Kevin to see who could first crack a certain system with a bet of US$150. But Lenny always lost. Sometimes he paid, sometimes he didn't. And Kevin just laughed without caring. However, in one of the bets, Kevin realized that he had been betrayed when the FBI caught him. In the federal agent's hideout, Kevin saw Lenny happily celebrating his victory. Then there was a look in the courtroom like the story above. Jaksa told the judge that Kevin could crack NORAD just by shouting on a public phone to launch a nuclear missile. Although Kevin in his autobiography described it as a hyperbola that exceeded due to fear for internet security in the 1980s, he never explicitly denied or admitted that he had ever cracked NORAD. Maybe it's true because Jaksa can describe in detail how modems and telephone networks work to convince the judge to imprison Kevin in an isolation cell. In prison, Kevin's days were very hard and he only hoped to be free soon to start a new life. But when he got out of prison, he found that his wife, Bonnie, seemed to be cheating. Kevin checked Bonnie's answering machine and found that Bonnie had fallen in love with their friend, Louis. This series of betrayals made Kevin lose his direction. He felt depressed, almost hopeless. Bonnie moved to live with Louis while Kevin became obsessed with the gym to spend his energy. 1991, Juba was not seen. In 1991, at the Global Consumer Electronics Exhibition in Las Vegas, Kevin had the idea to make Juba invisible because his obsession with the internet was growing again. Although he was still in probation and was forbidden to do hacking activities, he saw the Navotel phone in his hand and thought, if I can change the number of the ISN electronic series just by pressing a few buttons, it will be very cool. ISN is the only marker used by the FBI to track him. If he can continue to change the ISN, they will only find strangers every time they look for him. He was sure there was a gap in this system because the factory must have a way to test it. Kevin then called the Navotel company and pretended to be Mike Bischoff, a manager from the branch he saw at the exhibition stand. A manager named Kumamoto answered the call. Although at first Kumamoto doubted, he finally told Kevin that the 4WM100 version on his phone could not change the ISN, but the 105 version could, and he would send a new chip for Kevin. Kevin accepted the chip, and pretending to be the head of the customer service, he obtained several numbers of the series of phones from nearby stores. Kevin then replaced the chip on his phone and managed to change the ISN by pressing a button. He was happy. But then a mysterious hacker named Eric Hans Jr. infiltrated his life. The Mysterious Eric Hans Jr. Kevin felt that Eric Hans Jr. was a bit strange. He never gave a phone number or email to Kevin and always spoke in a voice like a policeman, which made Kevin suspect that Eric might be an FBI informant sent to spy on him. Next, there was a legendary story where Kevin, through his investigation of Eric, managed to break into the FBI network and spy on them. Although it sounds amazing, this is not a show of sophisticated hacker code, but a very perfect social entertainment battle. Obviously, in Kevin's clever attack, he not only found out that Eric was a fictional identity created by the FBI by using dead baby data, but also managed to spy on the federal agents behind Eric. Kevin also used FBI methods and their network to enter a virtual social identity using dead baby data. Then, with this fake identity, he ran away, left his mother and grandmother, and worked in various large companies in Denver and Seattle. During the day, he worked as a dedicated computer administrator, while at night, he became the most legendary hacker, like a ghost that came out of various most secure network systems, from Motorola, Nokia, Netcom to Fujitsu, even the Sun Microsystems legendary network security company which was named after the Sunfort University network, where the modern computer network was born. However, under Kevin's attack, they also became victims. Kevin also conquered the Portland University Archive and used the FBI network to create more than 13,000 virtual social identities that can be used anytime. He really did the FBI system like his own playground, embarrassing the FBI. From 1991 to 1994, Kevin made the world's leading security network as his hobby. In addition to various sophisticated hacker codes, there was also a very amazing social engineering operation. But because of the limited time, we can't explain it in detail. The point is, at the end of 1994, Kevin became one of the 10 most wanted criminals by the FBI. The FBI swore to catch him and if there is no God to help, in theory, the FBI has been monitored by Kevin and it is almost impossible to catch him. However, Kevin unintentionally angered someone who shouldn't be bothered, Tetsutomu Shimomura, who was the winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2008 and a very talented computer expert, Osamu Shimomura, who decided to help the FBI catch Kevin. Tetsutomu Shimomura At that time, Tetsutomu Shimomura was copying the Oki series console or in other words, he developed the ability to change the electronic series number of the ISN console through the keyboard. Kevin was very interested in this, so he copied Shimomura's computer and downloaded Shimomura's software as well as various other small secrets that should not be seen. This made Shimomura angry with people who can copy his computer only a handful of hackers in the world. However, when Shimomura began to investigate, he found that this copy did not leave any traces, showing that he was a very great expert. There is a strange story in the battle between Shimomura and Kevin. Some say Shimomura already understood Kevin and prepared the previous trap. But there are also those who say this is just a coincidence. When Shimomura did not find the result, suddenly the Shimomura copy program appeared on the The Well technology forum server. Kevin, in his autobiography, said that this may be his own negligence because at that time he was only thinking to hide the file that was stolen on the The Well server without realizing that this server had a disk alarm program sending emails to the administrator if there was a large file that was stolen. The administrator found that this was not their file and when checking the file, they found a strange word Tesutomu, the Japanese name of Shimomura. The administrator of the forum told Shimomura that at that time he had obtained authorization from the FBI to use any network resources to catch Kevin. With this clue, Shimomura created a program to compare all modem connection information from the telecommunications company and found that two modems in Denver and North Carolina, North Carolina had accessed the The Well server to steal Shimomura's file. Although the phone number related to the modem was changed by Kevin, Shimomura could not find Kevin's hiding location only with that phone number. However, with the authorization of the FBI, he was able to access all phone operator communication records in the US. He was able to track Kevin's ISN and went through several self-made programs where after processing data from many base stations near Kabul in Denver and North Carolina, Shimomura narrowed Kevin's hiding location to the area around Raleigh City, North Carolina. Without hesitation, Shimomura and FBI agents immediately flew to Raleigh. They drove a police car equipped with a special radio patrolling Raleigh to catch Kevin's hard-to-catch signal. Finally, they managed to lock Kevin's most suspicious hiding apartment and continued to monitor Shimomura. When Shimomura heard Kevin's voice talking on the phone on the radio, he decided to let the FBI carry out the arrest. On February 15, 1995 at 1.30 pm, Kevin heard someone knocking on the door. When he asked who was outside, the answer was FBI. Open the door. The End In court, Kevin said to Shimomura, I admire your greatness. Then he nodded his head. The entire arrest process was also poured by Shimomura in a book titled Take Down. In the book, Shimomura wrote, I rejected and looked at him for a moment, just nodding my head. It looks like there's nothing to say. In our fight, he clearly lost. But strangely, seeing him sent to prison, I don't feel good or bad, just a little dissatisfied. This is not a perfect solution. Not because I believe the words of some people who say that Kevin is a naive person exploring the cyber space without a criminal economic motive, but because in many things, he seems to be a special case. This is his sixth arrest. He certainly knows what is at stake. We have not seen proof that his activities have a higher moral goal or even just because he wants to know what is not wrong. That's what makes Kevin's case difficult. Because as stated at the beginning of the story, Kevin only accessed and did not use anything he saw to commit an illegal act or to benefit himself. What's more, how to bring down the law, including the Cyber Security Law at the time, is also not perfect. Jaksa accused Kevin of causing an economic loss of US$300 million. This is the number calculated based on the source code development cost. However, Kevin found this very ridiculous. He compared it to arresting someone who stole a can of soda, then asked him to replace all the development costs of the Coca-Cola secret formula. Meanwhile, in 1997, protests also emerged all over the world to free Kevin. They protested the unfairness of the court against Kevin. And finally, on January 21, 2000, Kevin was released. He said, my case is a case of wanting to know. Even though for three years after that, he was still banned from using a cell phone and computer, he was immediately invited to become a security expert by the US government. He said, the weakest point in computer security is humans. Humans are easy to manipulate. Companies and governments spend millions of dollars to build firewalls, encryption and various security facilities. But all of it is in vain because everyone has the weakest point, humans who manage and control it. How amazing is this statement? Kevin soon became a popular cyber security consultant, appeared in various programs to spread knowledge about cyber security. He even has his own YouTube channel, once demonstrating several threatening encryption techniques to increase our daily awareness. Then Kevin became a security expert and founded his own security consulting company. This time, everything was really good. In 2015, he even found love again in a security conference in Singapore, met his new wife, Kimberly Berry. But that happiness only lasted for 7 years and was destroyed again. In 2022, Kevin was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. After fighting the disease for 14 months, on July 16, 2023, his death was spread on the internet at the age of 59. When he died, Kimberly, his wife, was pregnant. Kimberly calmly said, That's the story of Kevin Mitnick. About a week ago, when Timata Ketiga made this video, is a reminder of his one year of death. Some say that seeing his life again, he switched from a world number one hacker to a world number one security expert. He changed people's perception of cyber security information, According to statistics in 2023, Americans lost 10 billion US dollars due to fraud. The most popular method of fraud is identity theft. It seems that social literacy is a lesson that must be learned by every modern person in the Maya world. And the most important farewell is not on the computer, but in our own consciousness. It turns out that this is social literacy and truly opens our perception. That's all and thank you for your attention.
