Thirty-one years ago, a film that we all still talk about was introduced to
the world. Some love it, some hate it, but it’s definitely had an impact on
the hacker community over the years. Renoly Santiago played Phantom Phreak, the highly expressive, charismatic “King of NYNEX” who wore stylishly eccentric clothes and brought an energetic, theatrical flair to the
underground hacker scene. Renoly will be part of a panel discussion at this year’s HOPE conference with consultant Emmanuel Goldstein and others who will reveal some of the secrets of “Hackers.” There will also be a tribute to the late Rafael Moreu, who wrote the script for “Hackers” after attending 2600 meetings and doing a lot of research into this community.
We hope you’ll join us. Hack the Planet!
