I’m a Hacker, Not Santa Claus
I regularly get messages from people who have lost access to gaming accounts, email, or messengers. Some of them are very young, others are already adults—but they all share one firm belief: for some reason, I’m supposed to help for free. At best, “for a review.”
Let me state my position clearly.
I’m a hacker. Not Santa Claus, not a wizard, and not customer support.
If you contacted official support—wait for their response. That’s their responsibility. I cannot “hack Steam” or any other major platform. These companies have invested billions of dollars in security—both theirs and yours. And yes, it works.
If you voluntarily handed over your login and password to third parties, the same rules apply to you as to everyone else. I can analyze the situation, help assess it, and assist in building a recovery strategy. But this is not magic. And it’s not free.
I work by the same principles as any other professional.
An hour of my time is an hour of work.
For me, there is no fundamental difference between:
- recovering access to an account,
- filing a complaint about a fraudulent Telegram channel,
- training university staff in Uzbekistan,
- conducting a security audit,
- building a website or doing promotion.
In all cases, I spend the same resource—time.
And for that hour, I earn the same money.
I don’t look down on websites, ad campaigns, SEO, or consulting. The core goal of any activity is to make money online. Let’s leave illusions about a “noble mission” to fairy tales.
I’ll be honest and blunt:
I’m lazy, greedy, and I don’t want to work for free. More than that—I don’t want to work at all. I want robots to work. But until they do my job for me, my time costs money.
So please be understanding.
The cost of one hour of my work is 100 US dollars.
