Hackers

I was talking to my wife about the hacking of the pipeline control equipment. I keep thinking this is like a James Bond movie. Someone trying to corner the market on gold, or stealing a nuclear weapon or making biological weapons and then demanding ransom from the world.

And then it hit me. This is almost the exact plot to the worst movie in the world: "Hackers". A guy creates the "Da Vinci Virus". The virus is affecting the controls on oil tankers. The hacker demands money or the tankers capsize.

All we need now are the terrible/awful/fake visuals on how computers work.

Here is a gratuitous terrible picture of Angelina Jolie
