In the 2014 German film Who Am I: No System Is Safe, what online alias does Benjamin Engel use?

The story behind the answer

In the 2014 German film Who Am I: No System Is Safe, Benjamin Engel uses the online alias WhoAmI.

Benjamin is a socially isolated computer enthusiast who becomes involved with a hacker group. The alias reflects the film’s interest in online identity, anonymity, and the gap between a person’s public life and digital persona.

The title and the alias are closely related, which can cause confusion with MRX, the mysterious and influential hacker figure admired by the group. CLAY is the name of the collective formed by the hackers, while WhoAmI identifies Benjamin’s individual online presence.

Who Am I was directed by Baran bo Odar and released in Germany in 2014. The film is a German-language cyber-thriller that uses unreliable narration and identity shifts as part of its story about hacking, status, and social belonging.
