It is normal for a kid whatever his age is to trust a stranger sadly. I didn’t say it was smart but it happens online all the time. Kids can be smart; in this case the writing is what’s screwed up. I mean the cybersecurity company let him hire randomly based off of words and a paper; no background check, no nothing. The screenwriter made him into a jealous and arrogant person though he still has redeeming qualities. Maybe this essential wake up call will make him stop talking to that random person whomever who’s obviously also up to no good.
Something occurred to me last night; considering they’re a cybersecurity company, prior to hiring anyone, they should have run background checks. Seems way too easy and kind of sloppy given their line of work for anyone to just infiltrate them. This series has government approval and something so vitally important was essentially ignored? Weird.
