The award-winning Cybercrime Magazine YouTube Channel, which has more than 1.2 million subscribers and many more viewers globally, released its first Short last month, and the video has racked up more than 720,000 Views.
In 1989, a U.S. Secret Service Agent told the New Computer Express that Leslie Lynne Doucette was the leader of a national conspiracy that was the largest hacking network he’d ever come across. “We call her the Queen of the Hackers,” said another Secret Service Agent. Taylor Fox, senior social media manager at Cybercrime Magazine, told the story in our first in a new series covering the history of hacking.
Earlier this month, we released another Short produced by Fox, the backstory of the 1986 Brain computer virus, a video with more than half a million views.
“Around two years ago, we produced a 4-minute and 30-second video “Phone Phreaking: Hacking Before The Internet” and the feedback was incredible, says Steve Morgan, Editor-in-Chief at Cybercrime Magazine. “People kept talking about it and asked us for more throwback media, and our new YouTube Shorts brings that.
Next up? Fox took a deep dive into the 1986 Morris Worm, one of the oldest computer worms distributed via the Internet, and the first to gain significant mainstream media attention. Stay tuned for this Short and more to come.
