Billion Dollar Heist: Advance Screening and Conversation
August 14, 2023 @ 7:00PM — 8:00PM Eastern Time (US & Canada)
Join FOLCS for a Film Series discussion on upcoming cybercrime documentary, Billion Dollar Heist!
The incredible true story of the most daring cyber heist ever.
With technology advancing at an unfathomable pace, support for regulation is rising as global trust in the digital world falls. Cybercrime has made everyone connected to the internet vulnerable to attack.
Cybercriminals embraced new technology early, manufacturing devious and ingenious plans to harm people's security, finances, networks, and data. And while the technology is not widely understood, the human vulnerability that it generates is as old as time. Over the past decade, cybercrime has evolved into its own business -- a $1.5 trillion industry with an infrastructure that makes it look like a collection of legitimate organizations.
Global, dynamic, and eye-opening, Billion Dollar Heist tells the story of the Bangladeshi Central Bank theft. This feature documentary traces the origins of cybercrime from basic credit card fraud to the wildly complex criminal organizations in existence today, supported by commentary from highly regarded cyber security experts.
RSVP for FOLCS' Conversation on Billion Dollar Heist with cybersecurity journalist and broadcaster, Misha Glenny, who appears in the film. The first 50 registrants will receive a link by email to view the film in advance of the Conversation.
Billion Dollar Heist will be available to rent and own beginning August 15th. FOLCS is proud to present this event in partnership with Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.
