This season's showrunners are so lazy, just re-using the same old plots and antagonists.

after his computer was infected by a trojan after he torrented a porn video.

when you are going to lie, lie obviously. He coulnd't even lie about it being a video game (which has actual executables etc).

You think infection only happens through executables? Awww cute

when you’re so proud of finally passing your CompTIA Security+ you mistake a quip about how obvious it is when Martin Shkreli lies for a fucking exam question

It gets even more amusing in the way that .scr files are also just executable, and that is what Shkreli said he downloaded. (not that the distinction of executable matters in anyway, my point was more that you need to be very not your own security team to fall for a .scr porn torrent vs a game half of which go 'just turn off your virus scanner due to false positives' etc. (Not that .scr crypto stealing stuff doesn't exist of course, but iirc those tend to be a bit more targetted than just a porn file (not that I I know what those porn exploits have for payloads but the scr trick is older than lesswrong))

our quality control AI has marked you for deletion, so sorry!

Thanks, but yeah lol Shkreli really expects us that he fell for a .scr torrent 'hack' in 2022.
