The hacker flick Blackhat definitely uses the language of cybersecurity, real terms like: malware, proxy server, zero day, payload, RAT, edge router, IP address, PLC, Bluetooth, Android, PGP, bulletproof host, and USB, to name just a few. But how real is the plot of Blackhat, with its malware-induced scenarios of physical and financial mayhem?
I went along to a screening of the film with some of my ESET colleagues to find out if there were any useful lessons to be learned from this latest contribution to the hacker movie genre (for a review of this genre from the security expert’s perspective check out Hacker Movies We Love & Hate on Dark Reading).
Blackhat: Lessons from the Michael Mann, Chris Hemsworth movie?
