Скачать или смотреть The Man Who Scammed Google and Facebook for $120 Million! 🧑🏻‍💻

Two tech giants — Google and Facebook — fooled by just one man.
His name was Evaldas Rimasauskas from Lithuania.
Instead of hacking systems, he used something far simpler — a fake company that looked almost identical to a real supplier these companies worked with.
He sent perfectly crafted emails to Google and Facebook employees, saying:
“Please send the upcoming payment to our new bank account.”
The emails looked professional.
They looked real.
And the companies transferred the money — nearly 120 million dollars.
As soon as he received it, Evaldas sent the money to different bank accounts across multiple countries, making it almost impossible to trace.
But in 2017, he was caught.
In 2019, he was sentenced to five years in prison, fined 49 million dollars, and ordered to pay back 26 million dollars.
Still, the companies ended up losing around 45 million dollars.
Lesson?
Never trust an email just because it looks genuine.
