Well, that explains why you haven’t been posting for 2 weeks… and here I just thought you were lazy 😉

Oblivions, there is a big difference between a server and your desktop PC, much akin to a public tore and a private home. A store that has it’s doors open and allows anyone to wander in off the street is going to be much more vulnerable to robbery than your house. All of the vulnerabilities Kelly mentioned only apply if you are using your computer as a server.

Even if it is a small little store in an out of the way neighbourhood. Which might be exactly why they are attacking it Kelly, they figure it’s an easy target to practice on, rightly or wrongly think it has lower security, and they are less likely to get arrested than if they went after a big company with deep pockets.

Other than that… either you pissed off someone, and on the internet that is ridiculously easy to do and you may never even know it – maybe you laughed at someones screen name – or it is because of who you work for and they are foolish enough to think they can get into your work stuff from your personal stuff.

Oh, and last theory … the chinese hacker army needs someone to practice on so it may as well be you 😉

And what frightens me is that in general I do understand what Kelly is talking about and I consider do myself to be completely incompetent *lol*
