"To show how hard it is to catch a modern hacker, Peill and Dahl followed an American hacker named Donnie to Russia as he sought the source of a relatively simple virus. As it turns out, the former KGB isn't a fan of film crews asking questions about cyber-security and shooting footage of government buildings, even if their visas say "tourist." Peille and Dahl's crew were followed by two mysterious suits from breakfast to their opening shot and eventually right to the airport.
Still, they managed to covertly film a meeting between Donnie and a Russian hacker, in which Donnie gets no closer to the source of his virus but learns that the Russian mafia actively recruits talented young hackers, and that he can buy a virus for $400 to $1,000 and use it to extort cash from other victims. When Donnie implies that such a virus could be used toward political ends, his source is clear that this is not his area of interest.
Yet Russia is the source of the most distinctive cyber-attack on a nation state yet. In 2007, when Estonia removed a Soviet war memorial from the centre of its capital, Russian hackers took revenge by attacking banks, broadcasters, newspapers and government offices, virtually shutting down the highly connected Estonian economy. When Tell Tale's crew reached the site of the former memorial, they were shocked to see four more mysterious suits, "two in grey and two in black," according to Peill. One of their pursuers calmly told them they were Estonian secret police following ex-KGB officers, who in turn were following the film crew."

Хакер это русское слово возведенное в ранг госполитики.
