Breaking in to Home Computers

from the crackers-with-a-mission dept

Oddly enough, Todd and I were discussing this very thing last night. Very few people realize how vulnerable their computer is to outsiders. Salon today is running an article on a guy with a cable modem who discovered someone had broken into his computer. In his case the cracker got pissed off at him for looking at some soft core porn (a moral cracker).
