Abstract

This paper represents a sequel to the 2008 ICITST Conference paper "Hackers and Hollywood: Considering Filmic Cyberthreats in Security Risk Analysis". That paper looked at how hackers are represented in the movies and how that representation may impact a range of fields, including; in the education of computer students, organisational computer security, and in the behaviour of the general public when using computers. This current paper undertakes that same analysis but with respect to the depiction of hackers on television. Thus this research will examine television shows that feature characters (either regular characters or guest characters) that are hackers so as to identify any common themes that emerge from these television shows in their representation of this issue.
