Minecraft's Deadliest [Illegal] Hacked Client

Hello! I've recently spoken to Crystallinqq AND Travis about the video and I would love to clear up some minsinformation regarding Phobos and it's story. If you have not watched the video yet, take everything with a grain of salt as several pieces of information were dramatized :p Some misconceptions to clear up: -Phobos was never released on github by Crystallinq, just the code was so it couldn't be sold -3arthqu4ke is the main developer of the client, to whom I apologize for not crediting him enough -A token logger isn't an exact addition of your email and pwd, it's a jumble of characters that let's you stay signed in to discord -The version of W+2 containing the token logger was never public, only (pretend) leaked to Crystallinq, who then got token logged by it. -Several of the clients mentioned weren't paid for, but private in the sense that they belonged to specific groups and weren't available to the public. Using Phobos, the group was able to obtain these private clients from the files of their users. Regardless of this I hope you still enjoy the video, it's a fascinating story that I hope you like learning about.

"How did you go to prison?" "I hacc in blok game"

Okay now this is epic

I remember watching a stream and FitMC just casually said, "if calculator randomly opens on your desktop and you're using a hacked client, pull your ethernet and reformat your machine." Now it makes a lot more sense.

This entire video, I was half-expecting "the mysterious hacker known as 4chan" to be behind it all.

“A federal crime was just about to be committed, in Minecraft.” lol

"and a federal crime is about to be committed..." speedrunner digs straight down

From the name alone, I assumed crystal aura was some kind of hack that somehow gives the player that uses it the properties of an end crystal. Like, anything that attempts to hit you causes you to explode, dealing no damage to you but heavy damage to your attacker.

The biggest problem was that even though it was malware, they spent all that time making the client for a few seconds of fun. The lesson is if you find something too good to be true, research that something, you will never know how much it will save you from danger.

"What you in for?" "I killed a man" "I took letters and numbers from people"

I had no idea that there was so much of an industry for Minecraft hacks... Also, 2b2t looks like the worst aspects of online gaming condensed into one server!

this honestly sends chills up my spine. even though it's just a hacked client, it's still creepy how much control the creator gets when other users download it.

"The war was over... Or was it?" Vsauce would be proud of this video

So now I know the following things not to do: - Install anything ever - Play 2B2T - Be noticeable

The fact that 2b2t has a city named after the capital of one of the smallest countrys and the most suffering countrys right now is a delight showing that people care

That same splash text is on Bedrock too, and I see that particular one once every so often
