A 1972 BBC archive clip showing security expert Guy Parker demonstrating how early mainframe computer systems could be exploited.
The crime of the future will be computer crime. A few weeks ago, Guy Parker stole a considerable sum of money from a company, without arising any suspicion from its employees. Guy Parker is not a criminal, he is a computer security expert - and he is going to show Tomorrow's World precisely how he stole £34,563.28 using nothing but a smart suit, a pen and the inherently trusting nature of computers. Originally broadcast, 28 March, 1972.
