      If only the would depict IT a tad more realistically… never seen a more hilarious hacking than in this show.

            Apparently they purposely made their hacking scenes sillier to see how far they could go (I think they were in an informal contest with another show’s writers). That scene is their masterpiece.

            I love that character. I don’t even know her name, but my mom watches NCIS on repeat, and sometimes I watch with her just for that character

            She’s such a mall punk

            Allegedly, NCIS and CIA had a sort of informal contest as to who could get away with the worst computer/technology scene. That’s how this scene came about.

            Nah they pulled the power cord not the monitor cable.

              Power cord to a monitor. Not that it would matter if it was the PC power cable though since I kind of doubt they would have “the entire network” on one system

                I mean both cords look the same soooo, also as dumb as that scene is the whole point was the hackers were targeting her system not anything else so shutting off that one system was good enough

        Oh absolutely. I work in information security, and I definitely have a good amount of “but that’s not how it works!” when I watch it.

        But hey, it’s entertaining, and it’s not like other shows get it much better.

        Watched Nerve last night. They said because the game is open source, then can just make changes, submit them,then use a botnet to vote the changes into effect to crash the game… All within like 2 hours…
