Nothing beats NCIS in abusing lack of knowledge around computer and software in the general public: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bwUdjeu4C6A (getting hacked through a power cable and fighting with 4 hands on a keyboard)

I had never seen this show before and somehow stumbled across the 4 hands on a keyboard episode. It was awesome inspiring how terrible it was
Rumour is that the script writers tried to outdo themselves in who can slip the most ridiculous tech scenario into an episode.
Nowadays power cables are USB and definitely a threat vector.

NCIS was scifi ahead of its time.
