I think that most of the time even if they know what it would look like in the real world, movie creators intentionally make it look silly - I guess mostly for the entertainment value, or as kind of a joke in the lines of "let's see how absurd we can make it before your grandma notices something's not right".

I think also showing real attempts at cybercrime would have a real liability aspect

I doubt it, unless they show something very in depth about a fresh vulnerability on a real system - and even then there are usually months between shooting a TV show/movie and it hitting the screen.
