The thing is: Macs are used to write viruses for PCs… and vice-versa. Macs traditionally have more vulnerabilities because they’re less tested – but hackers don’t bother writing viruses for them since their market share is smaller than you’d think. Was a misconception for a long time that “Macs don’t get viruses” – the truth is simply that they don’t get viruses for Windows.
Even so, creating a blaster worm was quite brilliant of Cooper. Always smart to ask an electron like Craig.

I never understood how Cooper knew how to write a virus.
He doesn’t. Craig (the electronics guy) does.
I don’t think he knew how to write one just where to get one.
