The series follows Elliot Alderson, a young man living in New York City, who works at Allsafe, a cyber security firm as a programmer. Elliot has social anxiety disorder, but connects to people by hacking them and acts as a cyber vigilante. He is recruited by a mysterious social-anarchist known as "Mr. Robot", and joins his team of hackers, known as "fsociety". One of their missions is to take down one the largest corporations in the world, E Corp (known as "Evil Corp" by Elliot), a company that Elliot is paid to protect.

Time.com reports that hackers identifying themselves as the Impact Team seems to have begin leaking (very) personal information of users on the Ashley Madison website, which is for married people looking for action outside of their (perhaps not-so-perfect unions).
