Max Original Documentary Series MOST WANTED: TEEN HACKER Debuts September 5 On HBO Max
The Four-Part Finnish Max Original Documentary Series Tells The Unbelievable True Story Of A Boy Once Named By The FBI As One Of The Most Dangerous Hackers In The World
The four-part Finnish Max Original documentary series MOST WANTED: TEEN HACKER will debut FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5 on HBO Max, with new episodes debuting weekly on Fridays throughout September across Europe, the U.S, Latin America, Australia and South-East Asia.
Directed by award-winning documentary filmmaker Sami Kieksi and co-written with Joni Soila, the series follows the illegal exploits of Finnish hacker Julius Kivimäki (now known as Aleksanteri Kivimäki), who rose to infamy after forcing a U.S. passenger plane to make an emergency landing, shutting down PlayStation globally, and orchestrating several dangerous SWAT attacks - including one targeting the family of an FBI agent.
Produced by Aller Studios for HBO Max, the documentary uncovers for example how the FBI tracked down the then-15-year-old hacker at a casino in Las Vegas. The series includes compelling interviews with FBI agents, SWAT team members, cybersecurity experts, Kivimäki's victims, internationally recognized hackers, and Kivimäki himself - currently serving a prison sentence.
Sami Kieksi, director, says: "This is a story that could not be more topical. The consequences of cybercrime can be very serious and substantial. I hope that the documentary series provokes discussion about cyber security and how seriously it should be taken. It has been an honor to have such world-renowned, esteemed information security experts and journalists, such as Allison Nixon, Brian Krebs, Joe Tidy and Mikko Hyppönen on board. Their well-versed insights bring an in-depth, international perspective to the series."

[02/26/26 - 02:46 PM] Netflix Declines to Raise Offer for Warner Bros. "The transaction we negotiated would have created shareholder value with a clear path to regulatory approval. However, we've always been disciplined, and at the price required to match Paramount Skydance's latest offer, the deal is no longer financially attractive, so we are declining to match the Paramount Skydance bid," said co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters.
