Did anyone catch this on WBGH last night? It will be on NHPTV tonight at 11pm.
"Hackers" - Designed to facilitate the free exchange of ideas, the Internet has become
home
to confidential information from virtually every nation in the world. Financial
information, national infrastructure, even state secrets can be accessed via the
complex
computer network that is the World Wide Web. But how safe is that information if
computer-literate teenagers - hackers - can break into top-security computer systems,
infect them with viruses or steal sensitive documents? The role of hackers is examined
and
their exploits highlighted to reveal the insecurities and virtual threat of the
internet.

I thought it was very informative, especially in light of the recent security
discussions
on this list.
