The trait isn't so much about Machine x Biological brain.

I suppose a Biorroid (biological android) could have this advantage, for example, IF his brain is produced in the correct way.

About being hacked and similar, you should be safe if you simply shut down your wi fi inside your head. So, while a technowizard can still "Magic hack" you, a regular hacker cannot do it so easily (unless your net connecting is an always on trait - something very stupid in the case of a free willed AI, pratically mandatory for slave (with slave mentality) machines). Well, technowizardry aint that common (as opposed to "regular" magic) in most settings, and yeah, there are a lot of catches about digital minds (for example, its easier to store your memory in external devices, as a safe guard against brainwashing, or even memory loss - or even as a prevention agaisnt "spilling secrets" - torture me all you wanna, I can tell what I don't know...)
