We live in an age of smart phones, where users are mindlessly downloading applications and
approving surveillance without even knowing.
For this reason, mobile device users have been subjected to targets by malicious software.
But what if an app you downloaded to your phone turned out to be a malicious entity,
not just malicious software.
Today, life’s biggest questions asks, What if SCP 1471 was real?
Hello and welcome back to lifes biggest questions, the channel that asks the fundamental questions
of life, and occasionally we answer them too.
I’m charlotte dobre, and I’m back at it again with another SCP video, what can I say,
I can see why you guys like these.
If fate somehow helped you stumble across our channel, do us a quick favour and subscribe
for more daily questions, and don’t forget to stick around until the end of the video
where we respond to some of your comments.
Before we can talk about what would happen if SCP 1471 was real, I should first tell
you a little about it.
Here’s what you need to know.
Unlike many other SCPS, SCP 1471 is a free application for mobile devices.
If you search for it in an application store, its listed as Mal Over 1.0.0.
But there is no listed developer for SCP 1471, and its somehow gotten past the application
approval process, heading straight for distribution.
The application is very difficult to delete.
Once you install SCP 1471 on your mobile device, there are no shortcuts or apps for it.
What SCP 1471 does is it sends individual images through text messaging every 3 to 6
hours.
All the pictures from SCP 1471 feature a large humanoid figure with a canid-eque skull and
black hair.
Definitely creepy, and definitely not something you want sent to your phone every 3 to 6 hours.
To make matters even more creepy, after the first 24 hours of installing SCP 1471, the
users mobile device will get images taken at all the locations that that particular
user normally goes to.
After 48 hours, the user will then receive images that were recently visited by that
individual.
And after 72 hours the user will receive images of themselves that also show SCP 1471 within
close proximity of the subject..
Couldn’t get any worse right?
Wrong.
After you’ve been exposed to images from SCP 1471, the affected user will soon begin
to visualize SCP 1471 in their peripheral vision or on reflective surfaces.
If the user experiences continued exposure, they will be suffering from continuous and
irreversible visualizations of SCP 1471.
At this point, there have been reports made by affected individuals that state that SCP
1471 attempts to make contact with them.
The only known treatment for exposure to SCP 1471 is to stop an affected individuals exposure
to it within 90 hours of installation.
But to ease your minds, there has been no documented hostile behaviour toward affected
individuals from SCP 1471.
One has to wonder, what does this SCP want?
SCP 1471 is classified as Euclid.
An SCP is classified as Euclid when its behaviour cant be predicted for 3 reasons.
It’s a sentinent item, it behaves outside of current scientific knowledge, or its nature
is not fully understood.
SCP 1471 has very specific containment procedures.
Any and all mobile devices that have SCP 1471 installed must be confiscated and analyzed
for any potential leads to other possibly affected devices.
After this, all devices that were affected must have their batteries removed, placed
in storage unit 91 at research site 45.
So, now that you know a little about SCP 1471, lets talk a little about what would happen
if it was real.
I would imagine that if an entity like this existed, individuals who came into contact
with it would start to slip into a state of psychosis.
How would you feel if some unknown entity was sending you pictures that show a terrifying
devilish figure within close proximity of you?
Not to great, I would think.
Like with the blue whale game and momo, many of the people who would be affected by SCP
1471 would be children.
Children who are too trusting on social media, who unknowingly engage in contact with malicious
individuals and software.
They are far more likely to click a malicious link and download the app, especially when
they don’t know what it is.
Maybe the app was sent to them via whatsapp by one of their friends as a prank, or by
an individual that they don’t know.
Once SCP 1471 is installed, it is possible to limit an affected person’s exposure as
long as its within the first 90 hours.
Children are often afraid to tell their parents what they are doing on social media.
They would have a hard time making sense of something like SCP 1471, and parents and guardians
would have a long time believing them.
After all, they are just children.
The epidemic would get out of control very quickly.
At first, affected individuals would be behaving very strangely.
Paranoid, anxious--always looking behind them to see if someone, or some thing, is watching
them.
Affected individuals would then seek help from psychiatrists, then sent to psych wards.
The media would get ahold of the story, as they usually have in the past when it comes
to malicious software.
Once the media spreads awareness about scp 1471, there will no doubt be curious individuals
who will look up the app and download it for themselves.
After all, no one knows exactly what SCP 1471 is trying to achieve.
Even though there hasn’t been any documented instances of it behaving maliciously, sending
terrifying pictures to affected users every 3 to 6 hours to make them think that they
are being followed, is malicious.
Who knows, maybe some people would take matters into their own hands and do everything they
could to try to contact SCP 1471 to find out what its after.
Seeing as SCP 1471 is an app that can’t be deleted, its likely that all phones who
have downloaded the app will have to be confiscated.
To limit its exposure, governments will start to ban the download of SCP 1471, and it will
only be accessible on places like the dark web, where it would remain and be forgotten.
Until one day in the future, it all begins again.
But now I open up the question to you dear subscribers, what do you think would happen
if SCP 1471 was real?
Let me know down in the comments.
For now I’m going to respond to some comments from my last scp video, what if scp 1865 was
real.
Hippo platypus – good job on your video.
hey, thank you, any and all compliments are always appreciated.
Dx Gaming – just finished the vid and at the end shes kinda sassy.
Like jerky sassy but noice vid.
I have been known to be rather sassy, but the queen of sass is undoubtedly Rebecca felgate.
Hope Steely – all scps are real.
I certainly hope not.
I think the thing I like most about SCPs is that they are relatable, and they ignite your
imagination.
66 survivor – you did great charlotte.
Why thank you! im glad you liked the video.
