Journal Entry 8

After watching the video, I noticed how much the media is in cybersecurity. Movies and TV shows sometimes exaggerate hacking, making it look very flashy and instant, but in real life, it usually requires patience, skill, and knowing what you are doing, which requires a lot of knowledge. In movies and shows, usually the hackers are criminals or heroic geniuses that show they know a lot about cybersecurity. This can make hacking seem exciting; it could spread misinformation about how real cyber threats work. People might either underestimate the risk or believe hacking is unstoppable. If movies and the media show people accurately hacking, it could help raise awareness about online security and encourage better people who want to pursue the cyber field. Overall, the media has a huge influence, but it should make it more realistic.
