December - 2008 Web Warriors

A CBC documentary aired the other day about the dangers of the our world being connected by the internet. The story is called "Web Warriors" and it can be viwed on-line by clicking below.


There is lots to learn about in this 43 minute film, including an interview with the notorious Mafia Boy (Michael Calce), who was only 15 years old when he brought down Yahoo, eBay, CNN and other's web sites.

You'll also meet one computer hacker who journey's to the Russia's cyber underground in hopes of gathering information leading to an arrest in order to claim Microsoft's $250,000 bounty on virus writers.

It's well worth the watch.
