Ok so real question to this,
Are they using some sort of equipment that regular civilians (in the rest of the world) don't have access to or are they really just that talented with this? I struggle to produce good videos of AI "people".
Don't get me wrong I know their hacking team is one of the best in the world I understand that but a lot of the time they just seem to be using regular shit like AI and social engineering to do exploits.
Weren't they the ones that robbed a bank by using an AI phone call looking like the owner?
I had to leave a job one time because I lost my hard copy or SS card and they wouldn't take a printed copy.
How the hell are these guys able to use AI like this and get away with it for so long??
