The upcoming Max docuseries 'Most Wanted Teen Hacker' explores the story of Finnish hacker Julius Kivimäki, notorious for his cyber exploits, including hacking Twitter and the PlayStation Network. The trailer showcases his villainous actions, highlighting a U.S. Air Force alert he triggered and instances of 'swatting' that he committed for amusement. The documentary features testimonials from victims, law enforcement, and Kivimäki himself, who was sentenced to prison in 2024 for his crimes. At just 15, he executed over 50,000 cyber break-ins, demonstrating the alarming skills and lack of accountability that defined his hacking spree.
Kivimäki revealed he had law enforcement sent to the families of FBI agents by making fake emergency phone calls, an act known as "swatting."
The documentary will feature victims of Kivimäki's hacks, fellow hackers, SWAT team members, and FBI agents, providing diverse perspectives on his actions.
