YouTuber Max Fosh who you might know from other extraordinary videos like when he cooked a frozen ready meal on top of an active volcano, always goes all in with his outlandish videos.
And this one is no different. In the YouTube video which now has 12m views, Fosh had a private investigator follow him for a whole month to see what sort of info would be gathered on him.
The results of the video did not disappoint as viewers continue to be floored by the revelations.
Fosh first had to find a private investigator, which proved to be quite the challenge in itself. To ensure he didn’t have any idea what to look for, Fosh asked a friend to be the middleman and hire the PI.

The next part was simple. Fosh continued to live his life as normal, until he met up with the private investigator a month later.
Meeting up with the private investigator was already nerve-wracking as Fosh had never seen him before. So when he began reeling off personal information like his full name, address, parents’ names and more, his jaw dropped.
Fosh was shocked even to just see footage of himself playing football with friends, shopping in the supermarket and other mundane activities that you don’t usually watch yourself do.
There were days’ worth of footage, showing every move of Fosh’s had been monitored.
But it’s when they reviewed the investigator’s other discoveries that the real surprises came.
The private investigator being used in this video is used to monitoring cheating spouses or disloyal business partners, so monitoring someone like Fosh was pretty simple.
One of the most shocking revelations was that the investigator knew Fosh’s home Wi-Fi password, something that would allow him to get access to Fosh’s network really easily.
That’s not all for passwords either, the investigator also knew Fosh’s Instagram password which would give him access to Fosh’s account with over 310k followers.
Commenters were just as shocked as Fosh as well, taking to the comments section.
One viewer wrote: "I think everyone needs to have this done to themselves. People are just too lax when it comes to ones own personal privacy."
Another commented: "This was incredibly creepy to watch yet very entertaining."
Feeling freaked out about your passwords now? Not to worry, the investigator gave one piece of wise advice when it comes to password protection — “use a password manager”.
It’s not rocket science, but a huge number of people have never used one of these. These services help you to encrypt your passwords and use different ones for every website or app you log into. And the best part? You don’t have to know each and every one by memory.
