[QUOTE="virginiafiveo, post: 10881475, member: 39103"] an old hacker friend of mine said there is only one way to not get hacked....he unplugged my computer. problem solved. as he stated it, it only takes a fraction of information about a system or software being run to exploit them, regardless of who they are. yes, this includes the government. all software has vulnerabilities. if you can transmit and receive data from a personal computer, server, netbook, phone, etc. you can be hacked in one form or another. most of these entities are basically a bunch of script kiddies, which is why they will eventually be caught. they have no true understanding of how the full spectrum hacker really works. in other words, most of these are kids who do ddos attacks against front end servers that the public sees. not an incredibly difficult task. many large companies have very vulnerable networks, not because their IT guys are competent enough to minimize risks and fail overs, but because they have to keep things open and available for the never-ending need of the good idea fairy and users. as a side note, as stated above, if some of those who were apprehended are smart enough, they will not server jail time. I have a friend, who in my younger days in high school, hacked into an FBI server. it happened to be a mindless file server with nothing real good on it. but he did it. from a highschool computer using a POS Mac (I'm talking the really old clean colored CRT/CPU all in one) it took the FBI 5 weeks to narrow it down and find him. he served 0 time in Jail. upon graduation from highschool he was employed as an intern after having his way through MIT paid for.
