Conor Freeman: 我从小就对电脑和技术感兴趣,最初在Minecraft游戏中进行捣乱和欺诈行为。后来,我加入了一个黑客论坛,学习了各种网络犯罪技术,例如退款诈骗、退货诈骗、账户破解等。我逐渐掌握了社会工程学和SIM卡交换技术,并开始利用这些技术窃取他人的加密货币。起初,我主要针对的是用户名和密码,后来转向了更有价值的加密货币。我参与了许多加密货币盗窃活动,金额从几万美元到两百万美元不等。虽然我赚取了大量资金,但我并没有挥霍无度,而是将大部分资金保留了下来。在经历了最大的200万美元的盗窃案后,我开始意识到自己行为的错误,并决定停止犯罪。我主动向警方交出了我的加密货币,并最终被判处三年监禁,实际服刑11到12个月。出狱后,我获得了网络安全硕士学位,并希望将我的技能用于保护他人,而不是进行犯罪活动。 Jack Recider: 本期节目讲述了网络犯罪分子Conor Freeman的故事。Conor从Minecraft游戏中的捣乱行为开始,逐渐接触并掌握了社会工程学、SIM卡交换和加密货币盗窃等网络犯罪技术。他利用这些技术窃取了大量加密货币,金额高达数百万美元。Conor的故事揭示了网络犯罪的复杂性和危害性,也反映了网络安全的重要性。同时,Conor的故事也展现了一个年轻人在犯罪道路上迷失,最终悔过自新的过程。
