Watch this video and pay attention to the way that movies distort hackers.
In the video, they discuss how movies often misrepresent hacking and cybersecurity.
Filmmakers frequently create misconceptions, inventing terms and scenarios that don’t exist in
the real cybersecurity world. They add flashy words and visuals to create excitement, but these
are rarely accurate. Even when movies use actual terminology, they tend to distort how it’s
applied, making it appear more dramatic or complex than it is in reality. Additionally, the
portrayal of hacking is often exaggerated, with overly futuristic and complicated visuals, making
the process seem far more intense than what cybersecurity professionals actually do in their
daily work.
