My Mom reads so much that she often sends tips to stories I didn't know about. Last night, she goes, Hey I heard you're in a new HBO documentary. I was like, uh....really?

I'd forgotten that I sat for an interview with some filmmakers from Finland who were working on a series about Julius Kivimaki, a Finnish cybercriminal "who rose to infamy after forcing a U.S. passenger plane to make an emergency landing, shutting down PlayStation globally, and orchestrating several dangerous SWAT attacks – including one targeting the family of an FBI agent."

Looking forward to seeing the series, which apparently includes interviews w/ Allison Nixon, Joe Tidy, and Mikko Hypponen. Debuts on HBO Max Sept. 5.

Max Original Documentary Series MOST WANTED: TEEN HACKER Debuts September 5 On HBO Max | Pressroom

@briankrebs I'm surprised that stealing the patient data of 40 000 therapy company customers didn't make the trailer. That's what Finns know him for.
@sammallammas @briankrebs And not just stealing but he also tried to blackmail the patients - hard to go lower than that. Although, the blackmailing failed miserably through his incompetence making him a laughing stock at the same time.
@sammallammas I'm fairly certain that is a major focus of their series, at least from the questions they asked.
@briankrebs Goes from Billy Joel to Brian Krebs over there on HBOMax
