Great... Now we know you are running Kazaa with minimal
security. Stop - just stop! - telling the world what your
systems are running!

Andrew or anybody else... how about an article on SOHO security?
 

I know what I'm doing for security at home. But I'm not telling.

Andrew Plato posted an excellent warning about not revealing too
much
about your OS, Systems, etc., as hackers oftemmine this
information. I
may be a victim,and if so it's my own fault.

This weekend I was downloading MP3 of Kaazaa, and I came back to
find
that someone was downloading my tech writing samples. Since I
believe
KaaZaa only scans the files you elect to share, I assume someone
was
hacking...I can't think of why someone with "Evil" in their
screen name
would want a document called "Administration of ******
Portal.pdf"

Thoughts or comments?
