Convenience+ Breach: The Zero Trust Uprising

Hacker Anthology

In a near-future world seduced by the promise of frictionless living, "Convenience+"—an all-encompassing platform merging facial recognition, AI assistants, and urban infrastructure—has quietly woven itself into the fabric of daily life. But when a catastrophic data breach unleashes millions of biometric profiles onto the black market, the illusion of safety shatters, plunging society into chaos and paranoia. As governments scramble to restore order, a shadowy alliance of tech giants and state agencies seize the opportunity to tighten their grip, pushing new laws that erode privacy and redefine normalcy. At the heart of the resistance stands Inti De Culevane, a renowned hacker and privacy crusader haunted by his family's history of oppression. Rallying a clandestine network of hackers, whistleblowers, and sympathetic insiders, Inti launches a high-stakes campaign to expose and dismantle the surveillance regime. As the lines blur between heroism and exploitation, Inti and his team must navigate betrayals, moral compromises, and the seductive power of the very data they seek to protect. With tech CEOs and government enforcers closing in, the fate of personal freedom hangs in the balance—forcing every citizen to confront what they're truly willing to trade for convenience.
