			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://itacidentityblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/TheNet.jpg" alt="TheNet" title="TheNet" width="92" height="143" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1012" />Did you know that there is a list of the <a href="http://netforbeginners.about.com/od/hacking101/a/hackermovies.htm">top 20 movies</a> that involve hackers and cyber crime?  Well, it turns out that Hollywood has been cranking out hacker-related movies since 1974 when <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071360/">The Conversation </a>came out &#8211; which takes on the theme of surveillance and the violation of people&#8217;s privacy (although there are no computers in the movie).   </p>
<p>From that point on Hollywood has been developing such popular films as <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084827/">Tron</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086567/">War Games </a>and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089886/">Real Genius</a> &#8212; all the way up to more recent films like <a href="http://movies.about.com/od/livefreeordiehard/Live_Free_or_Die_Hard_2007.htm">Die Hard 4</a>.   Of course, how could we all forget Sandra Bullock who plays a software engineer who loses her identity to digital thieves in the 1995 film <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113957/">The Net?</a></p>
<p>So, the reality is that all of these films are a bit dated and cliched about cyber crime.  We wonder if we will see more films that involve the truth behind cyber security:  a hero fighting an unseen organized crime group, or hackers from a rogue nation?  Eitherway, Hollywood always has an interesting &#8212; if not somewhat out-of-touch with reality &#8212; take on things.  But who are we to judge?  Perhaps Hollywood is helping raise more awareness around this issue?  We welcome all thoughts, comments and feedback!   </p>
