By day, he worked for the Canadian government as an IT specialist. By night, he worked as a hacker extorting companies and others around the world as a part of a criminal ransom ware gang, amassing millions of dollars in bitcoin by threatening to expose the private digital information of victims who didn’t pay up. We reveal how Sebastien Vachon-Desjardins did it, the digital trail of destruction he left and how he was finally caught. Piecing together details in a seamless bilingual English/ French production, host Marie-Maude Denis introduces the victims who were ensnared by someone they knew only as ‘User 128’, and the police who eventually tracked the hacker back to an unassuming street in a quiet city. The documentary has a distinct visual style, which was established at the beginning of production and allowed for a seamless shoot over many months. It had its genesis when the teams at The Fifth Estate and Enquete realised both were independently interested in the story of Vachon-Desjardins who was facing 20 years of prison in the US for his online extortion. There were story elements in the U.S., English Canada and Quebec. Both versions, had a similar look, while each differed editorially with excerpts and framing that would best serve their respective audience.
