Interesting discussion, especially because the media are so focused on virii, trojans and those oh! so pesky script kiddies but don't focus on the real threat (to an unpatched, unfirewalled system):...

I greenied Jinxy for this post because you will have to forgive me if I sound like I'm spontaneously channelling the spirit of Catch, but post after post after post I've seen in my brief time here...
