He Hacked NASA & The Pentagon at 15. By 24, He took his life. (The Full Story)

At just 15 years old, Jonathan James (alias “c0mrade”) infiltrated NASA and even breached a Pentagon weapons system, pulling off a cybercrime that left federal authorities stunned. This cinematic episode tells the true story of how a teenager hacked into some of the most secure systems on Earth in 1999 – forcing NASA to shut down its computers for 21 days and making him the first juvenile hacker ever jailed for cybercrime in the U.S. With an intense, dramatic, thriller-style narrative (think movie vibes), we delve into Jonathan’s mind, his Gen Z-level coding skills, and the wild aftermath of his notorious intrusion.Join us on this edge-of-your-seat journey through real hacker history – from the initial breach to the FBI raid and beyond. If you love cybercrime stories, coding escapades, or just a darn good true thriller, this one’s for you.👉 Like, Comment, and Subscribe for more true cybercrime episodes!🔔 Hit the bell to get notified of our next cinematic tech saga.
