Trivia
Apparently CBS has lost the masters for the TV series, according to someone who spoke with one of the key people behind the show. This is the reason why there is no streaming version or DVD version of the show. There is a French version of the show that has 12 of the 18 episodes on DVD, however they are at 25fps and have some quality issues.

I think the network intentionally scuttled it

Another reviewer mentions having trouble following the show because it kept being preempted and moved around.

Considering the flack this got for having teenage hackers doing whatever they wanted, I suspect the network either intentionally sank it or at least didn't seem to mind doing things that would harm any new show.

It's basically Wargames for TV. It leans more into fantasy at times, but much of the hacking shown was reasonably accurate.
