Speaking of Malwarebytes.

Had to explain to this moron Malwarebytes isn't programed for cookie detection.

I know someone who used to be convinced that your computer didn't need to be connected to the internet or any other kind of network for a hacker to get into it.

Like, if they break into your house, insert a linux cd and removable usb harddrive, then, after a mount, run a “$ dd if=/media/windowsdrive of=/media/hd/y.iso” command? And maybe they take that image home and do whatever they want with it? Is that what he meant?
Maybe he's one of the most successful hackers of all time because he doesn’t mess with firewalls. :P :P

This video is worth an entire post.

The sad thing is I have actually met people in person that are exactly like that in real life.

The knowledge that people that dense really do exist makes me wanna cry.
