Heh... I gave up caring if anyone got into my system years back.  But I did 
have a friend with files of software on his system he was developing.  He 
and his company were pretty concerned about security, and worked out some 
protection.  But I've never known much about this sort of thing, and always 
wondered just whole secure his system was.

I just find it intriguing from a hacking perspective just how systems can be 
compromised, and I guess how easily... and try to pass the info on to people 
who do have serious security issues.  The whole Eschelon thing is pretty 
intense though... talk about Big Brother keeping an eye on everyone!  I'm 
guessing some of the best hackers out there probably get recruited by 
companies developing their software.

Matt
