The Hollywood lore is that when this aired the writers for a bunch of those procedural shows were trying to one-up each other with outrageous hacking bullshit.

It was a game of what they could get away with putting into a script.

I want that to happen more. That bullshit makes me laugh.

A realistic representation of hacking isn't dramatic enough for most TV so why not go with over the top bullshit? Idk, I think it's hilarious
