How this Pinoy Cyberspy Earns at Least $12,000 Every Month Legally

Calamba City | “Bingo”, a web expert and software engineer from Laguna shared his recent hacking success with The Philippine Pride, and how he managed to earn at least $12,000 a month by doing his job legally.

For an ordinary Internet user, the term hacking always means something fishy and envisions negativity, but for professionals, there are major exceptions. Hackers and web experts like Bingo help online companies, and even individual customers in many ways.

Hacker’s jobs ranges from recovering passwords, testing cybersecurity, testing software, and even recovering important documents. Even government agencies like the Military, especially intelligence agencies employ a number of hacking experts. Bingo is one of them.

Bingo’s dominance in hacking started when his former girlfriend’s email account was hacked. It took him 8 hours to figure out and recovered everything. As an IT specialist working with modern and high tech servers, he focused more on breaking codes and programming.

It was February 2014 when Bingo joined the neighborhoodhackers.com – a freelance site for hackers offering hacker services like scrubbing embarrassing pictures from search engines, removing unwanted posts from social media, testing security, “hack for justice”, and other related services.

Bingo, for his first project received an offer from a US hosting company asking him to try to hack one of the websites hosted in their dedicated server for $500. Bingo did not fail the company and after a day of analyzing the problem, he was able to break the codes in three hours. The company gained his trust and he became one of their regular testers earning him at least $800 a month.

His success did not end here. In every month since July 2014, he receives at least 15 customers. The majority of these people asks removal of unpleasant and damaging information from social media and community sites like forums and message groups. Some of this information can harm his customers personally or business-related.

The creation of hackerslist.com last October only expands his hacking activity. Last month was a major breakthrough for him when he got two customers through the new freelance site that netted him almost $15,000.

Hacking can be a very profitable skill when used legitimately and legally. Facebook for example has paid more than $300,000 to friendly hackers who find its security bugs.

There are millions of online companies who are willing to pay someone who finds their security holes.

More than a year later after Bingo resigned from his job and focused on paid hacking, the 25-year old fatherless breadwinner has already built a 3-million pesos mansion for his mother and two younger sisters. He also owns a 2014 Honda Civic, and 2009 Toyota Hilux – his first car.

The mentioned freelance sites strictly prohibit hacking that can cause harm to other people or businesses. If your plan is contrary to their TOS, you are destined to fail.

Bingo, not his real name in order to protect his identity – advises young aspirants to stay away from destructive hacking and focus only on paid hacking for profits.
