This is the story of the longest, strangest, and most lopsided war in video game history. Watch as a decentralized swarm of anonymous hackers, armed with nothing but free time and a refusal to lose, systematically dismantles the security of a multi-billion-dollar corporation. From poisoned save files and weaponized photographs to a Spanish ghost who out-coded an entire engineering team, discover how one modified battery brought the whole fortress down.
