Not sure how I missed this, but on Sept 25th a new webseries was released via Yahoo Screen. The creator is CSI's Anthony E. Zuiker, and this new series indeed has Hollywood production values we have not seen on the web yet.
The 9 (mini) episode story is about an FBI agent (easy-on-the-eyes star Missy Peregrym) who is framed for a massive zero-day virus attack that threatens to shut down most of the Internet.
This is by far the most expensive Web series up to now at $6 million, triple the $2 million spent on Tom Hanks Electric City. They translated it in 10 different languages and it was released in 25 countries. They hope to get 20 million hits over time, as this thing has a long shelf life. It has not gone viral yet, but for techies like us it's fun to watch, and you will recognize a lot of security terms that for a change are correctly used. Must be that Symantec's malware warriors had a hand in the script. I spend a pleasant Sunday Morning watching this. Here are the trailer and links to the episodes:
