Title: Is the hacker's name in _House of Cards_ Season 2 Episode 17 a coincidence? Post by: mjosephs on February 15, 2014, 07:37:19 AM ... or perhaps a subtle reminder that monkey wrench hacking (http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=34237) can be done with deferred prosecution agreements instead of wrenches.
FWIW, bitcoin was mentioned in episode 16. Title: Re: Is the hacker's name in _House of Cards_ Season 2 Episode 17 a coincidence? Post by: Siegfried on February 15, 2014, 09:37:12 AM It was also mentioned in S02E01 when one dude was explaining to another dude what the "dark web" is.

That's what I meant; for some reason the episode numbers don't reset at the start of the season. And props to the director for calling it the "deep web" instead of the "dark web", although having "bitcoin" wind up in the same sentence as "child porn" was kinda unfortunate.

You can surf web annonymously. Anonymity seems to bring the worst out of people.... Why is this? Anarchy sounds like a very dangerous unstable world... Yet the powers that be seems rob and loot everything already.. |
