And the Oscar for the Best Cybersecurity Movie Goes To... - Ep 59

Reimagining Cyber - real world perspectives on cybersecurity

Did you think the Oscar ceremony was over? Not quite. In this episode of Reimagining Cyber Extra! Stan & Rob are handing out the awards to the best cybersecurity movies ever made. What are they? You'll have to listen to find out, but here are a few clues:
- "The first movie I recall that was really focused on cybersecurity & hacking."
- "They sort of come upon this capability of decrypting anything and flash forward to our era or maybe 10 years from now when we're potentially able to use quantum computing to be able to crack any of the existing crypto algorithms, maybe it's not that far fetched."
- "He hacked into the school computer system. He changes his grades, his attendance records. He's figured out the little loophole on how he can actually have a day for himself"
- "There's a sequence of knocking down different parts of the critical infrastructures in the US, and the Feds are running around having no clue as to how to stop or fix this. They're always behind the curve. Which could be realistic unfortunately."
- They're embezzling the money back out of the system. So they're “Hey, we're gonna slide under the radar. We're gonna take a little bit of the cash, pull it across and then we're out" But the worm goes out and spreads further, so much money that they now have a bigger issue to deal with."
- "The NSA gets involved and there's all these thugs that steal a laptop, et cetera, et cetera. She comes across as somebody who's very resourceful, whether it be on a computer or physically and again there's lots of great action"
