The hacking was believable in this movie. Hollywood seems to learn and do their homework.
Some things were fiction, but one can imagine we’re probably not too far off in the future for such technologies.
Trinity did it first in The Matrix
That's true. Also the exploit she is hacking was a real exploit although it was patched a long time back
Actually, when she used the exploit, it was around the year 2000 in the matrix. And this exploit was discovered in 2001 in the real world. So it would not have been patched yet as it was a zero day.
