The media portrays cybersecurity as a world of only randomized numbers, which are keys and combinations that hackers use to access anything from anywhere. Like the movies, the media portrays cybersecurity as unrealistic and has to be top-secret government files. At the same time, it can be as simple as breaching your wifi or connecting to the wrong network.

Also portrayed as

• Some numbers-filled world which is simple to understand breakdown 
• Making code that would take a lot of time for a supercomputer to handle, while a man handled it in seconds
• Something that happens overnight (realistically, the process is a lot longer)
