60 Minutes

==="The Internet Is Infected" episode and the false hacker photo===
On March 29, 2009, a segment titled "The Internet Is Infected" aired on ''60 Minutes'', which featured an interview with Don Jackson, a data protection professional for [[Dell SecureWorks|SecureWorks]]. Jackson himself declared in the program that "a part of [his] job is to know the enemy". However, during the interview, Jackson showed a photo of Finnish upper-level comprehensive school pupils and misidentified them as Russian hackers.<ref>{{cite news|title=CBS's 60 Minutes airs photo of Finnish children as "Russian hackers" |url=http://finland.fi/stt/showarticle.asp?intNWSAID=21336&group=General |work=NewsRoom Finland |publisher=Virtual Finland, [[Ministry for Foreign Affairs (Finland)|Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland]] |date=April 1, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150214223232/http://finland.fi/stt/showarticle.asp?intNWSAID=21336&group=General |archive-date=February 14, 2015 }}</ref> In the photo, one of the children wears a jacket with the coat of arms of Finland on it. Another one wears a cap which clearly has the logo of [[Karjala]], a Finnish brand of beer, on it. The principal of the school in [[Taivalkoski]] confirmed that the photo was taken at the school about five years before the program was broadcast.<ref name=kaleva>{{cite news|title=Amerikkalaisohjelma leimasi taivalkoskelaisnuoret venäläisiksi nettirikollisiksi|url=http://www.kaleva.fi/plus/index.cfm?j=789464|work=[[Kaleva (newspaper)|Kaleva]]|date=March 31, 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090403070919/http://www.kaleva.fi/plus/index.cfm?j=789464|archive-date=April 3, 2009}}. {{in lang|fi}}</ref>

The photo's exact origins are unknown, but it is widely known in Finland, having been originally posted to the Finnish social networking site IRC-Galleria in the early 2000s. It spread all over Finnish internet communities, and even originated a couple of patriotically titled (but intentionally misspelled) mock sites.<ref name=kaleva/><ref>{{cite news|title=Amerikkalaisohjelma leimasi suomalaisnuoret nettirikollisiksi|url=http://www.hs.fi/kotimaa/artikkeli/Amerikkalaisohjelma+leimasi+suomalaisnuoret+nettirikollisiksi/1135244835194|work=[[Helsingin Sanomat]]|date=March 31, 2009|language=fi|access-date=April 5, 2009|archive-date=April 3, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090403074544/http://www.hs.fi/kotimaa/artikkeli/Amerikkalaisohjelma+leimasi+suomalaisnuoret+nettirikollisiksi/1135244835194|url-status=dead}}</ref> ''60 Minutes'' later issued a correction and on-air apology.{{When|date=April 2009}}
