Another example...

of how script writers and directors are completely lost with anything IT and computers that goes deeper than "this is how you turn on a computer." They obviously believe that the internet is something run by magic. It seems that they are all like Jen in the IT Crowd.

Come on. It's 2016. Nobody magically "hacks" a machine and changes playlists but leaves all logins unmolested. Nobody ever gets actually "hacked" anyway. People have incredibly idiotic passwords for their online life (seriously, go google "worst passwords 2015"), click on every link that pops up (while running no firewall and antivirus), have ludicrous password recovery options or are actually dumb enough to hand over the login information to others.

That's how it works in reality. Phishing and ID theft are the way to go and they work because users are stupid, but not because some 1337 h4xx0r presses magical buttons and gets full access to your device.

Trying to play realism and shocking while completely messing up the entire premise is neither realism nor shocking. It's on the same level of stupid as that one NCIS episode where Abby and McGee fight off a hacker while typing on the same keyboard simultaneously.
