texte = I've been hacked twice since 1997. Once was on a SCO Unix box. The hacker got in through a security hole in sendmail. The only reason he got in was because I was too lazy to install the security patch. I had the FBI involved and all to try to catch the guy.The second time was with my Windows NT server. No matter what I tried the guy kept getting in anc changing the home pages on all of my web sites. Again, it was due to a security issue that was public knowledge and I was too lazy to install the security patch.Needless to say I try to stay on top of my security patches since 2000. Otherwise I get DOS attacks very frequently, and then I just call up AT&T (my internet provider) and have them block the DOS IP address.Matt PerosiAlan White wrote:> On a more serious note how many people on the list have actually had > serious hacking incidents happen to them?
