Uncover the riveting story of Hieu Minh Ngo—aka “Hieu PC”—a notorious hacker who (thankfully) turned his life around to fight cybercrime. Hieu’s story begins in Vietnam, where he got his first computer at 13 and quickly found the world of hacking. His skills evolved as he exploited vulnerabilities at his university in New Zealand. This escalated to ultimately selling massive amounts of stolen data online, causing $65 million in financial losses, mostly in the U.S.
Hieu’s hacking career came to an end in 2013 when he was arrested in Guam. Surprisingly, Hieu chose cooperation, aiding U.S. authorities before being released early. Back in Vietnam, he made a dramatic pivot, using his knowledge to fight cybercrime and human trafficking across Southeast Asia. His redemption highlights the lasting need for cybersecurity tools like SaferNet, which keeps companies safe through its VPN, virus protection, and web filters.
