Sponsored by monday-com You can try it for free here https://bit.ly/4k1SWyN ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes — I got hacked! I thought I was being careful. I teach cloud security, JWTs, and API protection. But a fake VPN site tricked me into running a malicious shell script from my terminal — and I nearly lost access to everything. This video isn’t just a confession — it’s a breakdown of what actually happened: - What the scam looked like (spoofed sponsorship email) - How they faked the signup + card flow - The exact shell script I ran - How I detected and cleaned up the attack - Why even technical people fall for these things - Step-by-step recovery: 2FA, OAuth app audits, CLI cleanups This is for every developer, creator, or engineer who thinks "it won’t happen to me." Learn from my mistake, and let’s make vulnerability a strength — not a secret. https://www.linkedin.com/in/bytemonk/ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJq-63ZRPdBt423WbyAD1YZO0Ljo1pzvY https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJq-63ZRPdBssWTtcUlbngD_O5HaxXu6k https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJq-63ZRPdBu38EjXRXzyPat3sYMHbIWU https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJq-63ZRPdBuo5zjv9bPNLIks4tfd0Pui https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJq-63ZRPdBsPWE24vdpmgeRFMRQyjvvj https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJq-63ZRPdBslxJd-ZT12BNBDqGZgFo58 AWS Certification: AWS Certified Cloud Practioner: https://youtu.be/wF1pldkQrOY AWS Certified Solution Architect Associate: https://youtu.be/GzomXNLFgkk AWS Certified Solution Architect Professional: https://youtu.be/KFZrBxSA9tI #mondaypartner #Bytemonk #CyberSecurity
