What the Hack? Perceptions of Hackers and Cybercriminals in Popular Culture

The Eleventh Hope

Presented by: Quinn Heath, Aunshul Rege
Date: Friday July 22, 2016
Time: 11:00 - 11:50
Location: Noether

How are hackers portrayed in the media? What are the typical stereotypes? How does the hacking community feel about the term "hacker," gender portrayals, and depictions in movies and television shows? This panel hopes to answer all of these questions and more! Aunshul and Quinn were at HOPE X, talked to attendees then, and asked about their thoughts on the ways hackers were presented in the media. They are now back to share what they've found and to get more of your thoughts! Expect lots of interaction, conversation, and (possibly) heckling.
