Rising Tide/Promotional Campaign

Prior to the premiere of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D./Season One a promotional website was released on 12 May, 2013. This in universe website was created by a group of hackers called the Rising Tide. Containing secretive video's and information about superheroes and S.H.I.E.L.D., they were determined to reveal the truth.

When S.H.I.E.L.D. was closing in on the group of hackers, they all went dark, including the website, where they left a message to return when S.H.I.E.L.D. was least expecting it. During the Pilot episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. it was revealed that Skye was one of the hackers behind the Rising Tide.
