VICE's video: I Stop Multimillion-Dollar Cyberattacks Super Users

Kurtis Minder is the middleman between hackers and companies with a lot to lose. He liaises with criminals, either for the release of data that’s being held hostage, or for assurances that the bad guys won't release sensitive information – including trade secrets, or personal information about high-ranking employees. In this episode, we get a glimpse into the false urgency these criminals enforce, how they work on the dark web, and the real-life impact of their hacks as they target businesses, charities and even healthcare – putting lives at risk in the process. In our series Super Users, VICE World News explores the latest technology being used to fight crime, trafficking, climate change and social injustice.
