Documentary Description
This alarming program reveals the daily battle
between the Internet’s outlaws and the hackers who oppose them by
warding off system attacks, training IT professionals and police
officers, and watching cyberspace for signs of imminent infowar.Through interviews with frontline personnel from the
Department of Defense, NYPD’s computer crime squad, private detective
firm Kroll Associates, X-Force Threat Analysis Service, and several
notorious crackers, the program provides penetrating insights into the
millions of hack attacks that occur annually in the U.S. – including one
that affected the phone bills of millions and another that left
confidential details of the B-1 stealth bomber in the hands of
teenagers. The liabilities of wireless networks,
the Code Red worm, and online movie piracy are also discussed.
