Episode #16 – The Treasonous Story of Forb
Manage episode 415744137 series 3562511
Dmitry Dukachaev, aka Forb, lived a life stranger than fiction. Starting as a Robin Hood hacker providing free internet, he soon dove into the dark world of cybercrime. Forb's skills made him a sought-after hacker-for-hire, stealing financial data and supposedly even infiltrating a U.S. government website. But things took a turn from our normal hacker story.
As usual, Forb ended up working for the Russian FSB, but allegedly became a double agent for the CIA! This backfired spectacularly, later landing him in a Russian prison for treason, where he is thought to be to this day. Forb's story is a chilling reminder of the murky world of cyber espionage, where trust is a luxury and allegiances can switch faster than a flick of a digital switch.
