Watch the full-length documentary video “Hackers in Wonderland”, a film focused on elite Computer Hackers in Britain. The video also goes into details about the history of hacking, and the different types of computer hackers including Black Hat and White Hat.

Most people don’t realize that the majority of hackers are white hat, which are good computer hackers that are legally hired to protect businesses by testing their security and then fix the vulnerabilities. This film helps illustrate how important the need for white hackers are, and that we should fix the problems with the holes in the computer systems.

“Hackers in Wonderland” 47minutes 40 seconds.

“We could wipe out Cyber Crime tomorrow, simply be legislating due diligence standards for corporations. We are allowing the Bill Gates’s of the world. We are allowing the Internet equipment manufacturers the computer manufacturers to sell equipment that is not good enough. Companies are stealing us blind by protecting their formulas, by not protecting their intellectual property, by not protecting your bank account, by not protecting you from identity theft.
