Why the fuck would someone use the GUI instead of the terminal during remote access.

This stinks of BS.

What do you mean?

Usually, a hacker will use a series of programs to exploit a particular machine... get access via a series of terminals that allow them to run scripts in the background. That way, you can siphon off data/images/files/view stills of the webcam/etc... without so obviously raising alarms.

I don't think Jake M. is one to lie however, and hacking via remote access in the GUI (the Graphical User Interface that the average person sees while operating their PC) is certainly possible. Messy. Cumbersome. Risky. But possible. Particularly if you are working from a background/location that cannot be traced.

they would do that in order to try and intimidate & harass someone. they are definitely sending him a message.

Wow. I put an update. He just bought new tires and had another blowout. His computer was under attack again last night. I posted the video.

Poor Jake... why the hell are they targeting him so aggressively? What does he know? What has he said that others haven't that has them so spooked/willing to attack him like this?

If I were him I'd rig some serious surveillance equipment, and drink a ton of coffee, then wait near the door closest to my vehicles with a 12 gauge. For legal reasons he could always put up a sign that states "Trespassers will be shot on sight" all around his perimeter.

I know! Since my last update, someone was trying to change his Facebook password. So him and his family are going away for a day or 2. I can’t imagine that feeling. Horrible. Oh, he was asking his viewers for advice on a good camera system and he’s buying it this weekend.
