  • Yale Law and Philosophy Professor Scott Shapiro breaks down some famous on-screen hacking scenes from movies and TV, including 'Skyfall', 'The Social Network' and 'Snowden'. Order his new book Fancy Bear Goes Fishing: The Dark History of the Information Age in Five Extraordinary Hacks here: bit.ly/3ss5kTE
    Why is the internet so insecure? How do hackers exploit its vulnerabilities? Fancy Bear Goes Phishing tells the stories of five great hacks, their origins, motivations and consequences. As well as Fancy Bear, Robert Morris and Dark Avenger, we meet Cameron Lacroix, a sixteen-year-old from South Boston, who hacked Paris Hilton's cell phone because he wanted to be famous and Paras Jha, a Rutgers undergraduate, who built a giant botnet designed to get him out of his calculus exam and disrupt the online game Minecraft, but which almost destroyed the internet in the process. Scott Shapiro's five stories demonstrate that computer hacking is not just a tale of technology, but of human beings.
    Yet as Shapiro shows, hackers do not just abuse computer code - they exploit the philosophical principles of computation: the very features that make computers possible also make hacking possible. He explains how our information society works, the ways our data is stored and manipulated, and why it is so subject to exploitation. Both intellectual romp and dramatic true-crime narrative, Fancy Bear Goes Phishing exposes the secrets of the digital age.

    13:00 The metadata is very useful. Before Turing got to Blechley Park, his boss was using the "metadata" to map the nazi positions. Later he moved to the US and helped the DoD to create a communications system that did not allow for network analysis. Years later he thought "well, everybody knows about the work we did so I'll write a book about that because the people should be remembered". After the book was published he had his US citizenship revoked and had to leave the country.
    A more serious issue is: where is "War Games" and "Codebreakers"???
    Nice video, Professor Shapiro. How about a nice game of chess?

    I saw a lot of videos like this one, but this beats them all off.

    I know less than nothing about coding or hacking, but I found your takes on the various films to be clear, understandable (even to me), and informative. Thank you - that was fun. :)

    In Snowden, Dr. Shapiro asked, "where are the supervisors?" But, here's the thing. Whatever security and oversight was in place, didn't prevent Snowden from obtaining and then revealing all this to the American people (and the world). How it's presented in the movie is irrelevant. He accomplished it. What bothered me at the time was that anyone could do what Snowden did at all. I would think that all this data was deep in some bunker, and nothing can be taken/sent out of there via exit scans and firewalls. The incident was recently repeated by an Air Force Reservist who uploaded classified data to a Bulletin Board. So.....they clearly didn't fix the problem such that another "Snowden" wouldn't ever happen again.

    James Bond succeeds in doing the impossible. That's the premise of the entire series of books and films. And by regularly doing the impossible while face real dangers he gets all of the sex. All of the sex. Computer boy gets a warm laptop on his lap. That is all.

    My man doesn’t look very healthy. I’m sure he is good at what he does. He looks like he hasn’t slept or eaten in a week.

      We learned from Chadwick Boseman that we don’t speculate on others health. Mind your own business
