    I work 3rd shift and it's always pretty boring. Anytime you drop a video at night though it makes work a little more bearable. Thanks dude!

    Just found this channel a few days ago and I have to say these stories have so much effort and depth put into them, yet are comprehensible to anybody! This channel is amazing keep up the great work
  • Found this channel, and I've been addicted to it ever since, I've never been one to watch like "marthon" binging with anything tv or shows, wtv, but this got me, and im so excited to get on the podcast next
  • I could be wrong but the country being targeted was Qatar, it was a couple years ago that they were suspected for funding terrorism, they also won the bid to host the 2022 Fifa world cup which is why UAE requested to investigate if they bribed for the bid.
  • Ilove thw fact all the stories tie in together ,well narrated and researched.

    Dude I love your outros. I can hear the fun in your voice with the wild things you're saying like the helmet wearer, or pewlett hackered. Like it's such a great way to end a podcast. I love it
  • @Yegorich
    I am so grateful to discover this channel! Amazing content
  • Nice, this is Niché ...a call in show via YouTube is great, like the old days of HAM Radio. Not many are doing this.... Love it.
  • I had some issues with my electronics- some of the things that we're happening as well as some of the things that I ended up finding were mind-boggling and sometimes even though I had the information in front of my face- we're just unbelievable to me- I am just a regular citizen- I am a nobody and yet these things were happening to me- from our government to the straight up everyday criminal crime is evolving and this needs to be exposed and the people need to be educated- This explains so much.... Great and informative presentation- Don't stop what you doing brother- you're amazing-

  • @ZedOne99
    I'm sure the NSA does this to any American citizen they need info on or foreign "threats".
  • @DevilbyMoonlight
    Top stuff, thanks for the insight, and strangely enough it explains a lot of what we are seeing happening to some well known personalities lately...
  • @wolvenar
    It's fun hearing about others getting deep into what they're interested in like this.

    Well David is now considerably more hard nosed. thick skinned and wiser than he was. I say he owes the job a vote of thanks.
  • @Joseph-on7nf
    Another great one. Missed it when it came out, but happy that I got to see now.
  • My guess would be that the exploit has something to do with the metadata of the message, such as the read receipts being altered with malicious code, so that the malicious code would be written to memory with no checks. That's just a guess though
