Computer spies have broken into the Pentagon

I sit and watch iftop every now and then and it amazes me how many chinese and russian robots hit my IP addresses.

Also, there is no concept of 100% security. Any system can be hacked. The chances of any system being hacked are a function of two variables:

a: how bad the hacker wants in
b: the skill differential between the admin and the hacker

Most porn sites are only hit by dumb robots, but a skilled hacker could root any porn site if he had reason to spend the time trying. IOW, dont piss off hackers.
