I hate how every character just pretend like phone lines and text messages are secure, and talk about their plan to defeat the villain, blow shit up, cast magic, or whatever, on their normal smartphone with all the surveillance on it.
And like “Is this a secure line?” WTF is that question? How do you magically “secure” a line? (there’s no magic in-universe btw)
Is there anything that’s accurate to real life?
Mr. Robot is a very accurate depiction of hacking in its era. Everything they use is a real hack available to the public. It does a good job of showing backend corporate structure.
And the weakest link in most chains, the people.
