Nope, it wasn’t evil alien robots from outer space(see transformers), ex-security heads(see die hard 4), the germans, russians or even the stereotype hot-pocket eating WoW playing h4×0r.
It was supposedly the chinese.
I’m really not bothered who hacks whom, I just wish that the movies would stop labeling so many stereotypes as hackers and the various characteristics of hackers and programmers like their immense dislike of using the spacebar and the mouse.
There are countless articles on what code doesen’t do in normal life that it does in the movies, one of my favorites is this article from drivl.
Moreover I predict a slew of novels and summer blockbusters based on Chinese breaking into pentagon digital security. They’ll probably do it using chopsticks and ancient samurai ipv6 protocols.
