*Each documentary is an original production, independently researched, written, animated and edited by our team of humans. All content is created specifically for Cybernews Kernel. Some AI assistance was used to make snippets of code shown at 8:27 and 13:55 historically plausible, since we could not get our hands on the real code used by the hackers. However the code shown at 14:08 is the actual White House password file obtained by ne0h.
