Mmmmmm I suck at explaining things like these.... :/ I don't know jack about hacking and how it's done, really, but I know people are sort of trying to find their way into other people's computers to cause whatever destruction they can....normally it's not really done to random individuals. And you can be damn sure people are trying to hack renderosity systems, as RR is a very big and popular website. Most attempts fail, fortunately. I don't know why people get such a kick out of hacking...trying to break through supposedly waterproof security system just for the sake of it seems pretty lame to me. What they're after, why they do it, how they do it, is pretty much beyond me. I don't know an awful lot about those things. Getting a program like ZoneAlarm (which basically works as a firewall) is almost a necessity when browsing the net...I wouldn't want to be without. ~M~
