It's worth noting that a lot of attacks that seem hard to pull off get sooner or later packaged up in ways that people with remarkably little knowledge about computers much less computer security can use them.

An old roommate of mine had a friend that found it funny to change my wallpaper while I was out of my apartment. I didn't find it as funny so I set login passwords.

At some point it started happening again, and I eventually figured out my system had a bootkit on it that made it always accept a certain password. This wasn't a guy who knew what a bootkit was, conceptually, but managed to find one and instructions for how to install it.
