Pretty handy overview of hacking by nations against other nations. We start with USA hacking an Iranian nuclear project destroying the machines. Iran then responds by hacking casinos owned by a billionaire Jew in USA for 1 single comment he made. Losing him $40m. We jump to Russian, North Korean, Chinese hacking. All presented in a short format with maybe 1 interviewee saying a few things and then a few videos of some items. It's a very shallow overview that just scratches the surface. You really could make a 3 hour doc on just Petya and NotPetya where the Russian government hacked Ukraines tax paying systems. These viruses are a giant project and wiped out billions in profit all over the West. Single companies lost hundreds of millions. Yet in the doc it's not even explained. They just mention it, say it was big, then move on to other Russian attacks. Of course largely focusing on Hillary and her emails and how Trump kinda worked with the Russians.
So the doc is a fine overview of country hacking anno 2020. We even get the Sony hack presented. But overall I'm not quite satisfied with this meager level of depth. It just feels like you are learning about names and events only. There are many docs and podcasts on the single hacks that are endlessly more fascinating. This is a dry overview to jump into much more engaging stuff. The doc is just not fun as such. It's interesting, but many interviews are with the known Democrats who act like leaders of USA like Podesta and Hillary. Not really people I care for or people that are experts in any way. They just have their political point about how Trump is bad and what happened to them. The DNC hack of course plays the biggest role in the doc. And it's indeed engaging. But yet again it feels hollow. They don't really explore Trump, Wikileaks, Russian hackers, revenge tactics. It feels like a full-length news segment on hacking. I would rather watch single docs on specific hacking events that then also present a short overview.
