MatPat's Game Lab — Season 1, Episode 7: Are YOU Being HACKED? (Watch Dogs 2)

Episode synopsis

Ever wonder what it’s like to be a real life hacker? As someone who works online, it’s one of those things I think about all the time. But it turns out, the truth about hacking is WAY scarier than I could have ever imagined. You know that insane hacking you see in Watch_Dogs and all the bizarre things you can hack like phones, cars, and stoplights? It’s all real, my friends, and it’s just the beginning! For this episode, we brought in two professional hackers to teach us the ins and outs of hacking into a major media company and grabbing data off of their own servers…FOR REAL. This is serious, scary stuff and it completely changed the way I look at the internet and hacking in real life.
