    I worked with a client where their router got hacked, but the site manager insisted that it wasn’t, because he had an “unhackable” Macbook. Like, no, buddy. No. Every Windows 98 client, the Windows NT 4.0 server, and your router are totally, totally hacked, and pointing to Chinese DNS. “UHHH NOOO?? IT’s a MAAAAAC! Hello? Anyone in there, Windows guy? I HAVE A MACBOOK!” With a patronizing chuckle. Then he mocked deaf people accents to re-explain, I guess, to make the point I was retarded.

    Thankfully, his boss fired him on the spot. This was the THIRD time I was sent out there to wipe and reinstall, and my attendance of his firing was a mere formality. He was being hacked by an open Apple AirPort Base Station with no password or encryption that was inside the network, and refused to believe it because it was an Apple product. His boss understood, though.

    Note: this is not meant to mock or deride any Apple product or fans thereof. Just this specific dweeb.
