Thumbs ranking
Griffin is designed to be shot in six different countries (a country per episode) - but what are these countries? Pick your favourite and also tell us where we should shoot it - and most importantly, why.
After we've closed the countries we want to shoot in, we'll start looking for the crew from these countries, so stay tuned!
Wreckitup!
From the last news: The suspects weren't brilliant hackers but had underworld contacts who helped them build and operate the botnet,
Spain: Good contacts with organized crime. Possibly war between the suspects fighting for the botnet.
http://pandalabs.pandasecurity.com/mariposa-botnet/
1. China - Government sponsored cracking, espionage, piracy.
2. Russia - Organized crime via the Internet.
3. United States - Scams, famous crackers, source of 2nd most attacks.
4. Romania - New generation of crackers.
5. Sweden - Piracy
6. Nigeria - Poorer countries and the great equalizer, the Internet
so if any Griffin fans happen to be around, come say hi;-)
1. Huge Linux community
2. One of the best European Cybercrime police squad
3. Malware Fighters (volunteers community)
4. Nice locations, CARNet (Croatian Academic Research Network), SRCE (University Computer Center), various IT corporations
5. A huuuge bunch of IT enthusiasts
6. 2008. World Grand-prix for the Crew of Computer study Middle school from Zagreb
and finally
7. Err....one of the first European internet radio started 1997 in Croatia :-)
Benefits for the film crew:
Cheap accomodation...well, in European point of view, not Croatian
If the criteria is cybercrime my suggestion are as follow:
1. Stockholm, Sweden. Head capital of piracy.
2. Tokyo, Japan. Need I say more? Ghost in the shell will do it fine...
3. Hong Kong, China. Like Tokyo its=cybercrime ...
4. Moscow, Russia. Most of viruses, trojans or worms are written by Russians.

I just thought about this city, stuck within the EU but still under the rule of Russia.
Wiki article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaliningrad
Kaliningrad is geographically isolated from Russia and its citizens do have some sort of advantages when it comes to travel because they have to cross EU/NATO Land to visit Russia. According to Wikipedia, the Kaliningrad Oblast might turn to be the Russian Hong Kong one day, even though the corruption still complicates business relationships. Apart from this, the European Union is strongly supporting Kaliningrad economically.
I think it might be an interesting place because it could give Russians or Ukrainians hackers the opportunity to stay close to EU targets.
... I also admit it's a cliché (Russians and Ukrainians might not be the best hackers, are they?)
China - Example of state-led information control and cybercrime (see hacking to Dalai lama's computers). Also a country where mafia (triad) and organized crime controls the production and sale of pirated material.
Russia - State approved cyber attack on Estonia during the statue controversy shows the potential of cyberwarfare, though on a small scale.
Estonia - Where aforementioned Russian attack happened.
Sweden - Rich liberal country, home of piratebay and lax piracy laws (at least until now). Place where rich, high middle class end users see the most positive and shining side of cybercrime - free access to pirated material. Conversely country of Spotify - fully legal replacement for piratism.
Home of any middle-aged or elderly victim of cybercrime in any country - How you can become prey because of ignorance.
Seconding Riku Pyhälä's suggestions:
US, Silicone Valley - Home of many of the state-of-the art computer firms that have to tackle cybercrime every day.
Lagos, Nigeria - Where the letters come from.
You are planning to film the episodes of this series in different countries, but how are you going to do this in practice? Is the actor of the leading role going to travel to all these countries, where the local crews shoot the episode, or will the main character be played by several actors? If so, how are you going to make that work, if the actors from different countries speak English with different accents?
