“It's a scam! Not everything on the Internet is true”

I've recently started watching “The Middle” (again). While watching the episode in which Brick discovers the Internet (season 2, episode 10 – “Taking back the house”), I realized that there’s an important lesson in it for Internet users: not everything on the Internet is true.

There’s no Nigerian prince that needs your help, and there are no beautiful singles in your area dying to meet you. Whenever you come across offers that sound too good to be true, remember what Frankie said: “It’s a scam! Not everything on the Internet is true.”

Most movies and TV series that involve hackers and Internet crimes are full of inaccurate facts.

Trend Micro is preparing to launch a new web series called 2020. The company says 2020 is designed to show us what the future holds as far as cyber security is concerned and prepare us for what’s coming.

Do you know any movies or TV series that are accurate when it comes to cybercrime?
