Movies That Can Help You Understand Data Privacy and Hacking 看電影了解數據隱私和黑客行為

約翰·威廉 譯/王慧儀 John William

Science fiction entertainment industry has always been a step ahead of the world of technology and innovations. The reason is not that the directors， story writers or screenplay content creators are smarter than the scientists and entrepreneurs. The reason is， they are not bound and burdened from reality， and imagination has no boundaries. They can create and experiment with the creativity in technology that may not even exist. They make their own world of technology to bring the story together.

However， history is proof that these movies have always become a blueprint for cybercrimes regarding hacking and privacy to take things up from creativity and intelligence. It may sound stupid to many， but the fact is， cybersecurity professionals， learn a lot from having a popcorn bucket， sitting down in front of a screen streaming some really brilliant movies. Below is a list of movies that can help understand data privacy and hacking.

1. War Games

The smash-hit deserves a day off to get a well-deserved appreciation when watched. The movie features Matthew Broderick hacking a military database that activates a nuclear arsenal of the USA that raises a few red flags for the nation.

The movie is the first mass-consumed movie of that decade as a visual representation of the side effects of the internet. It takes the web as a framework and vehicle for the USAs earliest emergence of technology.

Media has focused on a real-life war games scenario after the wakeup call from the movie. The movies high tech hacking and military security concerns led the U.S. federal government to create an internet policy for the first time as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1984.

As the movie pictures a scene showing a computer dialing system to lead a term as War Dialing， an advanced technique was introduced to scan a list of phone numbers and drive a broadcast call to every number as Demon Driving or Demon Dialing.

The plot was also discussed in the congress and was later credited with the enactment of NSDD-145， as the first Presidential directive on cybersecurity.

2. Eagle Eye

Eagle Eye is a scarier version of artificial intelligence than HAL 9000. The story gets your attention with the very first scene， presenting two strangers forced to get into a situation together by strange hacks and mysterious calls. The movie picks up the heat when the Eagle Eye program is set to kill the whole leadership of the USA.

The movie includes the ways to circumvent biometric looks to stimulate a military simulation. The technology is used beautifully to bring the madness of artificial intelligence and explosives together in a trumpet. An armed MQ-9 Reaper is set to smash the whole event while the young man successfully displaces the disaster.

3. Enemy of the State

The Will Smith blockbuster was released in 1998. He played the role of a reputed lawyer， who isnt aware that a videotape in his possession proves a congressman was murdered for opposing surveillance legislation. He then becomes the target of a corrupt NSA personnel and his life begins to fall apart， and he reaches for the help of an ex-intelligence officer.

Back to the 1990s， the movie served as a conspiracy of hacking surveillance devices and to get you creative with planting devices and making shreds of evidence useful without manipulating technology. A classical turn on for data privacy professionals.

4. Skyfall

When it comes to crime， nothing beats the heat， than a James Bond mystery， suspense， and action thriller. The movie franchise features Daniel Craig tracking down the source of a terror attack and fighting against a genius hacker taking down MI6 headquarters.

The picture is an excellent treat for cyber terrorism hungry fellows. The movie gives unbeatable hacking visuals and shows how smartness and knowledge is used to track and take down a terror attack that can destroy a whole city.

5. Snowden

Joseph Gordon-Levitt played the role of Edward J. Snowden， a former National Security Agency contractor， that later become disillusioned with the intelligence community. He takes revenge on the intelligence community by leaking classified data， and becomes the most famous hacker in history， fugitive to the law and a hero to the public.

The biography covers the real-life story of Edward Snowden， showing the use of hacking for a useful purpose.

6. The Circle

This dramatic 2017 story has Emma Watson landing her dream job of being an IT professional at a social media company called Circle. Soon she was forced by the founder and owner into an experiment that took transparency and privacy to a whole new level. The movie is an ideal representation of artificial intelligence， social media and mass surveillance.

科幻娛樂產業總是領先于科技創新領域。這并非是因為導演、作家或編劇比科學家和企業家聰明，而是因為他們不受現實的束縛，可以天馬行空。他們可以創造和實驗也許并不存在的技術創造力。他們自創技術來讓故事自圓其說。

然而，歷史證明，有關黑客和隱私的網絡犯罪憑創造力和智慧得逞，都是借鑒了這些電影。很多人可能會覺得這聽起來很蠢，但事實是，網絡安全專家吃著爆米花，往屏幕前一坐，看一些真正絕妙的電影，就能學到很多東西。以下列出幾部能幫助了解數據隱私和黑客行為的電影。

1. 《戰爭游戲》

這部轟動一時的電影值得抽出一天時間來仔細觀賞。馬修·布羅德里克在本片中黑進了軍事數據庫，激活了美國的核武庫，在境內引起一系列危機。

作為一部用視覺形式展現網絡危害的電影，《戰爭游戲》是1980年代第一部賣座的作品。該片將網絡視作美國最早技術萌芽的框架與工具。

電影敲響警鐘后，媒體開始關注現實生活中可能出現的“戰爭游戲”。該片傳達的對高科技黑客以及軍事安全的擔憂，促使美國聯邦政府首次制定網絡政策，即1984年的《計算機欺詐與濫用法》。

電影中有一幕場景展示了計算機撥號系統，引入了“戰爭撥號”概念。隨后，一項稱為“惡魔驅動”或“惡魔撥號”的先進技術產生，即掃描一串電話號碼并同時撥號。

美國國會也就這一情節進行了討論，后來出臺了第一項有關網絡安全的總統令：第145號國家安全決策令。

2. 《鷹眼》

“鷹眼”是比HAL 9000更駭人的人工智能。影片一開始便牽動人心：兩個素不相識的人遭受異常黑客入侵并接到神秘電話，被迫同陷困境。鷹眼程序將要殺死美國全部領導人時，影片迎來高潮。

影片展現了規避人臉生物特征來激發軍事模擬的方式。該科技被精妙運用，將人工智能的瘋狂和爆炸物集于一只小號。一架武裝MQ-9“死神”無人機即將毀掉演出，年輕的主角成功解除了危機。

3. 《國家公敵》

這部由威爾·史密斯主演的大片于1998年上映。他扮演一位知名律師，不知道落到自己手中的一份錄像帶能證明一位議員因反對監控法案而被謀殺。隨后，他成為國家安全局腐敗分子的追殺目標，他的生活開始分崩離析，于是他向一位前情報官員尋求幫助。

在1990年代，這部電影助長了入侵監控設施的陰謀。影片教人在不運用技術手段的情況下巧妙植入各種設備及讓零散證據發揮作用。電影可以說是一部吸引數據隱私專業人士的經典之作。

4. 《007：大破天幕殺機》

說起犯罪，沒有什么比詹姆斯·邦德系列懸疑動作大片更吸睛了。《007：大破天幕殺機》講述了丹尼爾·克雷格追蹤恐怖襲擊的源頭，并與炸毀軍情六處總部的天才黑客斗智斗勇的故事。

對網絡恐怖主義題材的愛好者來說，這部電影可謂一席盛宴。該片提供了無與倫比的黑客視覺效果，并展示了如何運用聰明才智和知識儲備來追蹤并消滅能摧毀一整座城市的恐怖襲擊。

5. 《斯諾登》

約瑟夫·戈登-萊維特在本片中飾演愛德華·J. 斯諾登，他原為國家安全局承包商，后來對情報界大失所望。他通過泄露機密數據來報復情報界，并因此成為歷史上最有名的黑客，他逃脫了法律制裁，被民眾視作英雄。

這部傳記電影講述了愛德華·斯諾登的真實故事，展現了將黑客技術用于正道。

6. 《圓圈》

這部2017年的電影劇情曲折，影片中，艾瑪·沃森入職一家名為“圓圈”的社交媒體公司，成為夢寐以求的IT專家。然而很快，該公司的創始人迫使她參與一項實驗，將透明度和隱私問題提升到一個新的高度。該片完美呈現了人工智能、社交媒體及大規模監控。
