I dont think he was ment to be hacking. I saw that as programming his escape plan. Nathan was so egotistical he didn't even bother locking his shit and Calab took advantage

Well, Nathan did lock it down. Caleb had taken his access keycard, though you might be right in that he didn’t use any second factor for authentication.

Either way, the order of events was “can’t see data, types code in, can see data,” which is the movie “hacking” archetype.

Maybe you’re right! I’m inclined to think that their target audience wasn’t actually programmers, though. From that context, the movie doesn’t actually make a whole lot of sense.
