Did you know that for WARGAMES… President Reagan watched the film and asked his staff, “Could something like this really happen?” A week later, the response was, “Mr. President, the problem is much worse than you think.” The first anti-hacking law was passed shortly thereafter.

i didn't listen to the story at all but was that the actor who played ferris bueller?
Wonder if Reagan thought this movie was real. He was known to talk about his past roles in movies as though they were things that happened to him in real life. He once watched a documentary about the Holocaust and then later told the Israeli Prime minister that he had been at the camps and personally shot the footage used in the documentary. This was while he was still president in 1983.
Reagan was a legend! How many times has he saved the US?
Is passing a law going to prevent an individual from hacking or attempting to hack? Answer is no…
Yeah, it was worse. For almost 20 years the launch code for all Minutemen rockets in the US was 00000000.
This happened after they made the first Purge too.
“Let’s play thermonuclear warfare” 😀
I did know this because we learned it in Fundamentals of Information Security lol
Reminds me of Dr. Strangelove being so accurate on how things can escalate out of control that the US Air Force changed their nuclear bomb policies.
If President Biden watched the movie, he would think that it did actually happen.
To be fair at this time PCs we’re a new thing and the internet was in its infancy nobody really understood cyber security
Reagan probably thought Wargames was real
One of the best movies ever
This
This right here
This is why you don’t connect your war calculator to the internet, even a power line cause that could be dangerous too
That’s why he’s my favorite president.
Because iron man learns from his mistakes
I… I never knew how much these movies change our world.
Worst president ever – trashed Jimmy Carter's reputation to get power. Led to a lot of the problems we have today.
Yep
"Anti-hacking laws…" So, what, anyone with the notion to hack suddenly thought, "Oh, well I guess I won't be doing that, there's a law." That's worked out great.
The law was implemented in such a ridiculous way that almost everyone using a pc could be persecuted. It would be de facto legal but they use it as more of a way to just go after people the state doesn’t like now. Like the kinds of people who point out that government websites are exposing the personal information of their employees.
My dad showed me this movie and I loved it
Pretty much exactly the same thing happened with Doctor Strangelove
President Biden watched White Chicks & said the same thing.
🤣🤣🤣 well they used to practice hiding under desk, so I'm pretty sure they didn't think things through!
oh yeah i remember reading an article about that
i wonder what percent of "mr. president, it's much worse than you think" is actually true, and what percent was them thinking "You know what? I think we could do with more funding"
Thank God this can never actually happen due to the fact that every single nuclear silo is on its own seperate, self contained grid. Literally the only way to contact those who at them is via a special telephone with a line directly to the presidents redphone. This was done to prevent anyone from being able to hack a silo from the outside and launch one or all of the missiles.
Hmm..
Hey I watched this in school and forgot what it was called thanks
I was expecting after “could something like this really happen?” Was “mr president this is a movie” 🙄
Always neat when art can inform peoples decisions because they normally wouldnt learn some information in less popular forms
I remember learning this in my high school film class
"Could this happen?"
"Sir, it's based on true events…"
Illiteracy yet so so salary
Wow! Yep…glad he thought to ask the question, because anything can be hacked now
Back in the day when a president had the gall to confront real issues and his staff had the balls to give him a real picture.
and the problem has only gotten worse since then. THE END!
Well now "we know"
Good movie
Imagine asking such a serious question and the staff leaves you waiting for a whole week before saying “so uh, about that…”

Don't worry Mr Reagan..Omegamon will kill Diaboromon easily
Is it a good movie?
Also, he asked if NORAD actually looked like that, but it turned out the movie set looked so much cooler that the real NORAD quickly upgraded their main room to match it.
I love you virus came into picture
Tfw the western seaboard of America could literally be hacked into because China has direct access through the energy companies that run the plants
Laws don't solve problems. Because guess what the Government gets hacked all the time
I love this movie. It's cool to know something came of it.
That was before Ferris Bueller lost all motivation to go to class
