In episode 34 of Cybersecurity Where You Are, co-host Sean Atkinson and Chris Elgee, a senior security analyst and Core NetWars Tournament design lead for Counter Hack, look back at how Hollywood has portrayed hacking over the years. They cover long-standing crowd favorites like Hackers, Sneakers, and Mr. Robot along with some lesser-known gems. The overarching trend? Viewers are getting more computer-literate, so the way in which Hollywood portrays hacking is evolving in a way that not only satisfies audiences but also raises their awareness of cybersecurity.
