'John Wick' is a fictional character played by Keanu Reeves in a Hollywood movie of the same name. The film is a three-part series and follows the story of an ex-hitman who comes out of retirement to track down the gangsters that killed his dog and took everything from him.<br />
<br />
The first part from the series released in 2014 followed by 'John Wick: Chapter 2 in 2017, and the recent 'John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum' in 2019.<br />
<br />
The series further highlights how Wick was an orphan taken in by the Tarasov Russian Mafia and raised as an assassin.<br />
<br />
Interestingly, the name 'Elliot Alderson' has been used by several hackers in the past. The name is borrowed from the popular show 'Mr Robot' where Rami Malek plays a hacker but it is rather unusual to see a hacker used the name 'John Wick' considering the character has got nothing to do with cybercrime and is in fact a assassin in the film.</p>

<p>In July, several celebrity Twitter accounts had been hacked. Unidentified hackers had gained access to Twitter accounts of technology giants, politicians, celebrities and major firms in what seemed like a Bitcoin scam.<br />
