00:00From the bedroom to Silicon Valley, the incredible journey of the Brazilian hacker who challenged Steve Jobs.
00:06Just imagine the scene, you, a technology enthusiast, being mentioned by none other than
00:12than Steve Jobs at a worldwide press conference. And all this because of a simple
00:17blocked cell phone. It sounds like a movie plot, right? But this is the real story of Brazilian Breno
00:23Mazzi, a self-taught hacker who became a global reference. The hacker who exceeded expectations.
00:30Breno Mazzi gained worldwide prominence for being the first to unlock the iPhone 3G,
00:34surpassing even the renowned Gel Hot. In a publication on the website Click Petróleo e Gás,
00:40It is revealed that Breno came from a humble family, with a taxi driver father and a saleswoman mother,
00:45which made it difficult to access a computer. Your gateway to the digital universe
00:50were foreign magazines and the few online forums available. That's how he started
00:55his self-taught learning journey. It was all self-taught.
01:00He read, tested, broke, fixed, recalls Breno.
01:04His first experiments were with a remote-controlled car. On the first day,
01:09I had already dismantled everything to try to increase the radio's range.
01:13I wanted to drive the car from the window of my fourth-floor apartment, he said.
01:17From helping the elderly to entrepreneurship.
01:20Breno began his professional career helping the elderly and housewives to set up
01:24printer networks. At the age of 17, he had already founded his first company, developing
01:30software for laundries, bakeries and pharmacies, at a time when the computerization of these
01:35business was rare. With his company up and running, the opportunity arose to spend some time in London.
01:42That's when fate intervened. When he returned to Brazil, he brought a blocked cell phone with him.
01:47By researching forums, Breno learned how to unlock devices and quickly identified
01:51the potential of this market niche. The challenge of the iPhone and Apple's invitation.
01:57In January 2007, Steve Jobs introduced the first iPhone to the world.
02:02For the first three years, the device would be exclusive to the American operator AT&T.
02:07In the United States, iPhone activation required connection to the carrier's network,
02:11which made it useless in Brazil. Breno did not give up and created an operator network
02:17fake, tricking the system into activating the cell phone outside the United States.
02:21Shortly after, two foreigners appeared at his office seeking to unlock a
02:26iPhone. What Breno didn't know is that one was from AT&T and the other from Apple itself.
02:31Days later, a formal invitation from Apple took him to the company's headquarters.
02:36At the meeting, surrounded by lawyers, Breno was presented with a still secret project,
02:41the future App Store. There, he signed an agreement and officially began working as a developer.
02:46His company, Fingertips, has created more than 550 apps for major brands such as Itaú,
02:53Santander, Banco do Brasil, Porto Seguro, UFC and Formula 1.
02:58Steve Jobs' historic quote
03:00During the iPhone 3G launch press conference, a journalist asked Steve Jobs about
03:06the security of the device. Jobs' response was remarkable, now the real race begins
03:11of cat and mouse. I want to see hackers like GeoRot and Breno Masi try.
03:17Breno found out about the quote, bought an iPhone and, within a few hours, managed to break it
03:22the protection of the device, well before GeoRot, the legend who unlocked the PlayStation 3 and,
03:27later, consoles 4 and 5.
03:30A new phase in your career
03:32After the episode with the iPhone, Breno decided to change the direction of his career.
03:36Instead of focusing on hacking, he, after signing the contract with Apple, directed
03:42its energy to develop software, consolidating its expertise in the technology market.
