Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2003-05-15

The average American moviegoer taking in the Matrix Reloaded this weekend will likely be wowed by the elaborate action sequences and dazzling special effects. But hackers who've seen the blockbuster are crediting it with a more subtle cinematic milestone: it's the first major motion picture to accurately portray a hack.

As quoted in the article: "But then, the film does take place hundreds of years in the future. Is Zelewski surprised to see unpatched SSH servers running in the year AD 2800?"

Haven't seen the movie but if the hacking took place while within the "Matrix" as opposed to the characteres relative real time, then it's the Late 20th century. Perhaps the 90's. As an avid user of nmap, I would love to see that. Going tonight as a matter of fact.
