Hackers. The reason why was at the time I was and had been a hacker for over a decade. A real one not some half assed pretty boi with issues. It sucks so bad. It was so fake.
As someone studying cybersecurity right now and hoping to pivot into red teaming, i would like to inform you that it's since attained cult status. It's so horribly bad that it's actually good. The best way I've heard it described is that that movie is what a hacker (at the time) wished hacking was like. If i could really tap a few buttons and just say "I'm in" or hack the FBI just to fuck with random special agents, believe me I would.
The thing about that movie for me is I started out very young with a home built blue box connecting to computers and BBS's all over the world. I war dialed most prefixes in my region. I did all kinds of things that were to put it plainly, stupid. I learned by reading 2600 magazine, radio and electronics and tons of documents available on those BBS's that changed numbers frequently. By 1995 I was all over the net and it was like the wild west. At the time that movie came out it was worse than a joke. Also by that time I had a job where compromising computer networks was less profitable than being able to maintain them.
So you were in the position of those kids back in the day, except i take it there was significantly less sex, steeze, and roller blading
