One major thing I have noticed and this video had somewhat highlighted is how in media we show these hackers and agents having almost superpowers. In the real world if someone is hacking or doing intelligence they are just normal people who either have the skills or do it for work. We tend to think of people like their “Jason Borne” and can do so much when in reality many of these people live very normal lives. In the video the process of hacking is much faster and usually shows someone typing for a few seconds and then they can see information. This is almost never the case as there is encryption and firewalls in place and most data leaks come from human error rather than someone being remote hacking in.
