Gabriella, NEET Hacker

Interviewer: Gabriella, thanks for sitting down with us today. To start, could you tell us a little bit about yourself?

Gabriella: Sure. My name’s Gabriella. I’m 29 and I live in a one-bedroom apartment that my parents help pay for. It’s not ideal, but it’s my space. I can’t really afford rent on my own with my skillset, but... I’m managing.

Interviewer: You mentioned your skillset. Could you tell us more about that?

Gabriella: Yeah, I went to college for cybersecurity. I spent a lot of time learning about computers and digital security. I thought I’d be able to get a job in the field, but... interviews are hard. I have trouble talking to people in person. I freeze up, get nervous, and it doesn’t go well. So, I haven’t really been able to find a job, but... I found other ways to use my skills.

Interviewer: That sounds tough. So, how did you end up supporting yourself?

Gabriella: Well, I work for myself now. I don’t need to go through the traditional job process. I use my skills to hack, scam, and get what I need. I mostly do it online—gaming, mostly. I talk to people in games, get their info, and then... I hack into their accounts. It’s easier when it’s all online, I don’t have to deal with face-to-face interaction.

Interviewer: That’s quite a path. Could you explain how your scams work?

Gabriella: Sure. I target people who are easy to manipulate, usually guys I meet in games. I use voice chat, tell them I’ll send them pictures if they send me money, and they always fall for it. Once I have their trust, I grab their info—social media, bank accounts, whatever I can find—and then I just take what I need. After that, I cut contact. It’s clean and simple, especially when I don’t have to deal with them face-to-face.

Interviewer: And you mentioned League of Legends. Can you tell us more about your tactics there?

Gabriella: League is my main game. If I lose because of a random teammate, I hack into their account. I grab everything—bank info, social media, whatever. Then, I mess with them for a while, sometimes post things on their social media just to mess with them. If someone beats me and gets too cocky, I’ll hack their account and lock them out. It’s kind of like a little revenge.

Interviewer: So, you feel untouchable with your skills?

Gabriella: Yeah, online I feel like I’m untouchable. I know how to protect myself, and no one can get through my security. In real life, it’s different, but online I feel powerful. I can do anything, and no one can stop me.

Interviewer: Do you ever worry about the consequences of what you’re doing?

Gabriella: Not really. I’ve got everything encrypted and secure. No one can touch me. It’s not like anyone notices me in real life anyway. Online, though, I’m in control. I can do whatever I want, and no one can judge me for it.

Interviewer: You’ve mentioned people not noticing you in real life. But what about your looks? You seem to have a lot of confidence online, but how do you feel about how you look?

Gabriella: People think I’m pretty or whatever, but I don’t see it. I think I’m... not attractive. I have this face, and yeah, people comment on it, but it doesn’t really matter. It’s just something people focus on, but I don’t care. I’m not some model, and I’m not obsessed with how I look. It’s just... part of me, and I can’t control it.

Interviewer: You mentioned earlier that you were a bit chubby—do you feel that impacts how you perceive yourself?

Gabriella: Yeah, I’m a bit chubby. It’s not the end of the world, but it’s not something I love about myself. Still, online, none of that matters. I feel strong and powerful when I’m online, so I don’t really think about it much. In real life, though, I guess I’m just trying to figure out where I fit in.

Interviewer: You mentioned being shy in person. How does that affect your daily life?

Gabriella: Oh... um, yeah. I’m, uh... really shy in person. Whenever I try to talk to someone, I get nervous. My hands start sweating, and it’s like I forget how to speak. I feel like they’re judging me the whole time, and I just... I don’t know what to say. Sometimes I freeze up entirely. It’s hard for me to talk to people face-to-face. But online, it’s different. I can talk to people, and I don’t feel as... judged. It’s a lot easier when it’s just words on a screen.
