[iBook] Mac OS X hacked in less than 30 minutes

[Jim Manley]

There isn't any such as a perfect ivory tower.

I do think that most of us don't have top secret data that some  
hacker would go through all the trouble to get at. I always have my  
firewall on as far as that goes. Also, if you have a router then you  
have a hardware firewall.
