This fits in nicely with the general narrative. At one point they portray this guy who they say cost the NASA JPL half a million dollars, whereas he said he merely hacked their email server and asked for a job. My suspicion is that hacking damages are stated in "cop dollars", a wildly arbitrary unit of non-currency. Worth mentioning in this context is also the guy who complains about sitting in a max sec prison for hacking Hillary Clinton's email account, a judicial measure the reporters justify by claiming the damage was so great it plagues Clinton still in the 2016 presidential campaign. I think this is mostly a social failure. You have this group of moderately skilled young people who do this basically to make ends meet. The majority of them would probably rather take job offers from the companies they compromise. However, the film also details a lot of low-skill, traditional wire fraud like eBay scamming - which is tangentially related because it's also computer-enabled crime, but happens on an entirely different level that has nothing to do with hacking at all. The most obnoxious part of the film for me were the priest's soundbites, especially the thing with the bees. Less than nothing was accomplished by adding these weird religious statements to something that is apparently supposed to be a documentary.
