Greed. A whole $12 million. What manner of greed is this. All this get rich by force people. I wonder how many years he wld get. Very disturbing.

romeo:
I searched the internet for this news story and the only link available was this nairaland topic.. Fake news?

Jacinthe:


The truth is that, in this age, the concept of privacy is an illusion. Especially for those who use the android phone.

About 2 weeks ago, I stumbled on a list of all my saved passwords under some settings on my phone. Both those I used years ago and have already forgotten. To say I was shocked is an understatement.

It's just crazy.

mrAMG2:
Shet!

This is why I don’t trust and can’t use google. They collect information you won’t believe even you had.

I’m uninstalling chrome today.

CyberWolf:
Some dumb people here talking what they don’t know. The guy killed himself when he linked his real email with his fraud email. Someone pulling shiits of this magnitude need not be on instagram or even Twitter. The guy was so dumb to the extent that he created NL account with his real email address, Instagram username on profile, picture on profile, who does that? .... He is very dumb.

I've said it repeatedly Google is AI designed to take over Internet completely in a few years


Not just that, as you've rightly pointed out Google archives everything from location (if you use GPS alot) to search histories ( when you sign in to Google)


The oga pátápátá is signing in Gmail on android mobile device and using it to scam, ordinary tracking apps can remotely turn on your location, gather all your browsing history, the apps you use, the name, type and imei of your device , so imagine what Google can do


Go to accounts on android settings and see all your connected apps, you will be shocked beyond words

Internet never really forgets, I learnt even if you format your computer FBI will recover then from your hard drive!!!!

Drill four holes on your hard drive in a specific area and the data is lost forever.

Incognito?? That shii don't do nada for you as it only doesnt store cookies on your browser.Your ISP still keeps your data.

Your best bet is a VM with a good socket 5 proxy while changing the mac-address of your VM so that it cannot be traced back to the network of your host thereby busting your host mac add which then leads to them busting you

Bignuell:
Please what is VM?

Beblessedbaba:
Those crocks are getting more ideals on how to beat the system albeit temporarily. Pls let them enjoy the temporary fraudulent wealth by not giving out inform on how to beat the system. Yes agreed some of those things can slip using the right tools. Most are half educated to know how to beat the system. The white cyborg crew should not assist them by giving info out. They will all end up in jail if they do not turn to legit means of livelihood.

Beblessedbaba:
Spot on VM - Virtual machine hosted using VMware or hypervisor. don't tell me you are not a Technology consultant..

Trizyd:



Bro, cookie is a different thing.. I agree with the other guy saying socks. I only relating to how he was caught. Google has the IP address of every device interacting with their server. All they need was the log of that particular email. Cookie encrypted or not, IP will reflect. It's even better to encrypt his email using a public key. Or better still why must he use Gmail as his phishing email.. The report said they found an invoice of domain names that he used to host phishing pages. He could have simply hosted a mail server on his domain and encrypt it.

The guy was just careless and lack basic anonymity skills. I'm not into crime but if today I'm to go into it, I know how to save myself. And damn $12,000,000 c'mon, you will have law enforcement in your ass.. He won't even spend $5,000 to stay completely off grid

MyGeneration:

stop saying what u dont know. nobody is monitoring u except u have something to hide, the world is too big for any govt to dedicate trillions to be monitoring everybody. its only people who go as far as popping up the radar.

12million dollars is too big for the owner to just relinquish to a Nigerian scammer.

tot:


Serious issues are being discussed, you are talking about the same ole stuff like a broken record. Grow up abeg!! Childishness. You guys just won't think straight, tribalism has eaten deep into your psyches and brains. Pain ko, pain ni. Does it look like I'm in the same level as your fellow tribalists here? If you have nothing positive to add to the discussion, go and sleep. This is not politics section where you guys shamelessly drag yourselves.

Inspectorsuga22:
Open web search redirected them n linked them up to nairaland...it's obvious the owners of this forum have failed to invest in the security of this site. Well as for me, this post will not stop me from criticising that tyrant in aso rock. Maybe him n his dss can also turn me to a celebrity....
