  • "Summary: "In 1989, two Melbourne teenage hackers known as Electron and Phoenix stole a restricted computer security list and used it to break into some of the world's most classified and supposedly secure computer systems. So fast and widespread was the attack, no-one could work out how it had happened - until one of the hackers called The New York Times to brag. Ten years after their arrest, this dramatised documentary uncovers not only how they did it but why. It takes us headlong into the clandestine, risky but intoxicating world of the computer underground."--Film Australia."@en
  • "Melbourne in the 1980s was the centre for computer hackers. This is the story of 2 hackers, known as Electron and Phoenix, who broke into some of the largest computer systems in the world, including those of NASA, Citibank and the CSIRO. The program explores their motives and traces the events that resulted in the first trial dealing with computer crime in Australia. This is also a detective story. It looks at how the Australian Federal Police Computer Crime Unit located and caught the hackers, and brought them to trial. Issues concerning the security of infrastructure that is controlled by computers, for example water supply, are also discussed."@en
  • "In the late 1980s, Melbourne was the hub of the computer underground in Australia, if not the world. The hackers who formed the underground were not disgruntled computer professionals or gangs of organised criminals. They were disaffected teenagers who used their basic home computers to explore the embryonic Internet from inside their locked, suburban bedrooms. From this shadowy world emerged two elite hackers known as Electron and Phoenix, who formed part of an alliance called The Realm."@en
