The life of a hacker who achieves cult status.

June 24, 2015, marked the launch date of an enthralling must-watch series, that I discovered by accident, and I have been addicted ever since (now in Season 2).

This is a dark, gritty series and I feel a must-watch for all CSO, and Cyber Security professionals, and even the people who market CyberSecurity software.

"The hacks throughout show are real"

Why is this relevant for the Linkedin community? The majority of my connections in the ICT sector, regardless of their company or title all have 1 underlying commonality and challenge - security.

Mr. Robot delves into the lives, personalties, mindsets and motivations of single and DDOS hackers, working to "Save the world"

Whilst the series is fiction, it certainly mirrors life events and all too close to home activist's sentiments, and what's more, all the hacking techniques shown have been verified by hackers, and leading global experts, in this compelling series.

There has been much debate about whether the hacks are real so decide for yourself by checking out the series or simply the links below. VERIFY THE HACK

I would love to hear from some of my friends and colleagues, who are leaders within the cybersecurity space, about this series and the hacks and how closely they resemble the challenges faced every day by millions of small businesses through to enterprise corporations and government across the globe.
