Pft, serious hackers wear black hoodies.

[–]carluoi 105 points106 points  (5 children)

And a Guy Fawkes mask.

[–]AlmostWrongSometimes 77 points78 points  (4 children)

And sunglasses over the mask.

[–]tonefilm 52 points53 points  (1 child)

But the dress shirt is on point. It's a business environment after all

[–]famousxrobot 39 points40 points  (0 children)

He’s a hacker, not a barbarian!

Think I found a new band to listen to! Cheers mate!

Serious Japanese hackers wear a surgical mask and dark sunglasses.

Bonus points if your face is completely obscured by a cloud of darkness no matter the surrounding lighting

That's the wrong sarcastic nerdy webcomic to be relevant!

[–]Schobbish 62 points63 points  (1 child)

Uh how about this one? https://xkcd.com/538/

[–]LichOnABudget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s one for almost everything.

I just want to call attention to the fact that this lesson is an "Advanced Introduction"

[–]Gorignak 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Aka how to make dummies who 'already know all this' to read it

[–]bradfo83[S] 12 points13 points  (1 child)

You should have seen the introductory course...

[–]UkonFujiwara 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Com-pew-turr use ee-lek-tris-it-ee!!!! Ooooooo screeeeeen, click click mouse screen! Com-pew-turr."

-Introductory course, probably.

It's ok, he's trapped in a bubble. He can't hack his way out of it.

[–]azdcf 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That's why he's calling customer service

[–]Antumbra_Ferox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He'll probably just hold cloak and wait for fleet

[–]Kwintty7 21 points22 points  (2 children)

FFS! Can't a guy wear a balaclava in the privacy of his own home anymore? For too long balaclava wearers have been stigmatized. Just because we they enjoy the feel of scratchy knitwear nestling snuggly against our their faces, we they get portrayed as criminals.

This is just another example of a gentleman enjoying his balaclava, while conveying helpful and important IT advice, and being treated like a con artist because of it.

This must stop.

[–]LittleGlaze 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Have you ever tried balaclava cheesecake? It’s to die for.

[–]vampyrlord482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You must be thinking of baklava.

[–]Nochterror 23 points24 points  (2 children)

Why is her notebook upside down? Isn't the phone on the cradle? What is she talking into, then? SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!!!

[–]ETHANWEEGEE 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Her personal phone, that’s red flag number one.

[–]newnewdrugsaccount 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No cables for the monitor....smh

[–]JamesK89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh god my company uses these too. The pictures are always so cheesy. The one that always gets me is the one with the hacker in the hoodie and skimask while hacking the internet on his laptop.

[–]bradfo83[S] 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Good news guys - I defeated the hackers!

[–]Annanondra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey my company uses this training too! Ironically I completed this module today, but I didn’t get a certificate. I feel cheated!

[–]theranger815 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Idk could be a fetish

[–]N0W0rk 9 points10 points  (2 children)

This sub is more and more becomming r/masterhacker

[–]Random_Guy_12345 1 point2 points  (1 child)

There is some overlap between the two so if you only know one, you may as well post it there.

[–]asutekku 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not really, this photo has nothing to do with the sub. This is a sub meant for humorous or awful movie interpretations of code and operating systems.

[–]havenoshittodo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Big Brain SE time

[–]vladimirpoopen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is the the rainbow six recruit engaged in social engineering?

[–]chin_waghing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how kind of him, not wanting to waste too much of her time

[–]Sabata11792 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I get paid to do that. Am I the bad guy?

[–]GrinsNGiggles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. We do this, but smack our heads if the same customers let “Microsoft” do it. (It’s never actually Microsoft. It’s a bad guy.)

[–]saichampa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He obviously prefers 3 holes

[–]ballfun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we talk about the wireless monitor?

[–]Superschoentje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same lame compulsory trainings.....

[–]jakeod27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bring out the gimp

[–]guilhermerrrr 0 points1 point  (1 child)

And he's clearly not Indian

[–]fcktheworld587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flag number one

[–]mitchy93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IT dept would already have your IP address, pulled up your file in the ticketing system and would remoted in already lol

[–]Gathorall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's a pretty good, simple way to get the point across. Being cheesy in fact improves the presentation as the viewer/listener is more likely to remember this information.

[–]Izsimple -4 points-3 points  (1 child)

they are also on the phone

he does not need the hood

why is your workplace the way it is

[–]BRC_Del 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right! OP should've made a joke about that!
