Samy Kamkar is one of the most innovative and notorious computer
hackers in the United States. He’s also a well-known
whistleblower. If you want how Samy hacks everything from
online dating to car alarms, this episode is
for you. He is best known for creating the fastest
spreading virus of all time, a MySpace worm named
“Samy.” He got raided by the United States Secret Service for
that one. More recently, he’s created SkyJack, a custom
drone that hacks into any nearby drones, allowing him (or any
operator) to control a swarm of devices;
and Evercookie, which appeared in top-secret NSA documents
revealed by Edward Snowden. He also discovered illicit
mobile phone tracking by Apple iPhone, Google Android and
Microsoft Windows Phone mobile devices, which were
transmitting GPS and Wi-Fi information to their parent
companies. His research and findings led to a series of
class-action lawsuits against these companies and a privacy
hearing on Capitol Hill. To see Samy help me hack my online
dating, check out the “Dating Game” TV episode here:
