Benoftheweek’s current profile picture

Status: Partially Found

On May 2020, YouTuber @benoftheweek posted a video titled hacking preeschool ZOOM classes… in which he shows himself infiltrating and disturbing Zoom classes. A follow-up video was made soon enough titled hacking highschool ZOOM classes posted in Jan 10 2021. The third and last one called “hacking Zoom classes for the LAST TIME” was uploaded as a premire on April 18 2021.These series of videos would later spark controversy amongst users with big media outlets such as CBS covering the topic of these "hacking" ZOOM calls and meetings. Due to this controversy, @benoftheweek had removed these videos from his platform and moved on creating newer content, therefore making these "ZOOM hacking" videos lost to time.

Controversy

On August 27th, 2020, the CBS Channel mentioned these controversy among many more other zoom hacking incidents. Benoftheweek soon made an episode on his podcast "I ALMOST DIED" stating that he would never make any videos of hacking into Zoom meetings ever again, distancing himself from the situation. 25~ months later, he deleted his "ZOOM hacking" videos and soon addressed this in his podcast "Dramamama".

Availability

After the deletion of the ZOOM videos, the only way to view the videos was a reupload of the hacking ZOOM classes... Video. Clips of both videos can be seen in the CBS channel 13 news Sacramento coverage. The rest, remains lost.
