    This is basically the plot of Leverage, and part of why it’s such a good show.

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

        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…
