WebApp Sec: Re: Hacking/security in main-stream media

[Lucas Holt <luke () foolishgames com>]

I don't think sandra bulloc is in Hackers.  The female hacker was played 
by Angelia Jolie.   She married the male lead in that film as her 
(first?) husband. 

Sandra Bulloc was in "The Net."  They showed that stupid virus that 
allowed you to hit "pi" and randomly get into hospitals or government 
agencies.
