100% guarantee these are going to be insanely easy to hack.

Assassination by bored script kiddie is going to be a thing that happens.

It's a guy in a suit. I guess you could hack him by offering more money? But a guy not encumbered by a huge cosplay suit would probably make a better assassin.

I've always wanted to see a realistic movie about hackers where the only tactics they need are 1) An email saying "This is the CEO, please reset my password" and 2) bribing disgruntled employees.

For a while the method China was using to "hack" US firms was poaching people and asking them grab as much IP as they could on the way out.

I think I'm kind of on Epic's side here.

Don't get me wrong, they're every bit as lovely as Apple (well, Apple might be worse wrt sweatshop labor) but I think the outcome of Epic winning and dealing a blow to Apple's 30% take has to the potential to be better for smaller developers and consumers than Apple winning and strengthening that. I know that's not why Epic is doing this, but I think maybe they're the lesser evil in this fight.

Is there any possible way they could both lose?

The movie Blackhat had Chris Hemsworth stealing software from the NSA by spoofing a higher up's email and sending an infected PDF about password security. Not an especially realistic movie on the whole though.

When I was younger the family PC got hit by some hefty malware but teenage Splicer had already hosed up the windows install so badly from screwing around that the malware just threw a bunch of errors and crashed.

I went to a seminar once from a Chinese research group that had a system like this except the reverse - a healthy (poor) person would wear a motion capturing exo skeleton that would one to one translate their movements to a motorized exoskeleton thereby allowing a disabled (rich) person to have movement restored. this was preradicalization but even at the time it was incredibly obvious who the tech was for

The trick is to lure him around a corner with a coin then knock him out and wear the suit yourself.

It's not always that simple! Sometimes the magnets need to spin.

Or you can shim the lovely latch they attached the lock to I guess.

In The Man from Nowhere, a pretty good Korean action movie, the cops catch on that the protagonist is a former secret agent, so they ask the Korean government for his file, and get told it's super classified and they can't see it. So they make a dummy email address with the guy's name on it and email the White House saying "MR PRESIDENT I AM COMING TO KILL YOU" and almost immediately get a request from the Secret Service to investigate the dude, then send that to the Korean government and get the file released.

I read Kevin Mitnicks book. 95% of the hacking he did was calling the NOC or whatever telco equivalent and saying "Hi, I'm a tech on a job, and I need admin access"

that poo poo is no joke

i never did anything as stupid as “lol heres your new password” but i was a DBA and analysts/developers were _constantly_ direct email/chatting me to get extracts of data including Personally Identifiable Information that they werent cleared for

one quick cc to their boss and mine and they didn’t email me again

e: cleared in the sense that we had a shitload of elementary to middle school student info that was held safe, nothing tom clancy or whatever

Art of Deception? Yeah he did a good job of demystifying hacking. Hell I recall it wasn't just stories of his own stuff, like the biggest bank 'hacks' he described were all social engineering, and even had far more on site scoping and physical work than someone typing furiously into the command line, or designing some virus.
