Is it really doable these days? Nearly all procesors have ME-like modules connected to network. So long as that super-hacker connects to the internet, the ME module will sniff on him: gather nearby wifis, send those ids and receive commands. For this reason, a really uncatchable hacker never touches computers, uses snail mail to tell others do everything on his behalf and does boring woodwork as his daytime job. He's also an adept at appearing a simpleton. He even uses a special double-speak lingo in his mails so if he's caught red handed, his letter would contain an advice to his buddy Joe about lumber he should use for his tree house.
