In the 1995 film Hackers, what is the name of the fictional corporation targeted by the virus plot?

In Hackers (1995), the fictional corporation targeted by the virus plot is Ellingson Mineral.

Ellingson Mineral is a powerful company whose computer systems become the focus of the film’s central crime. The villainous hacker Eugene Belford, known as The Plague, uses a computer worm called Da Vinci to threaten the company and conceal an attempted theft. Dade Murphy and his fellow hackers discover that they are being framed and work to expose the scheme.

Ellingson Mineral is not a real mining corporation created for the film’s story. Its corporate setting gives the teenage hackers a large institutional target and connects their subculture to financial crime and corporate power.

The film uses real-sounding terminology, but many of its visual depictions of hacking are stylized. The plot’s terminology, aliases, and computer graphics helped establish Hackers as a cult cyberpunk film even though its technical procedures are not a realistic manual for computer intrusion.
