Althogh it is possible, i would not belief it until someone is proofing
this. To hack or spy a Mac OS 7-9 special knowledge and software
is required. The common Windows virus/trojans wont do the job.

I tend to say there is one Mac classic in a million connected
compuers out there on the net.

If i where a hacker, i would not care about "fishing" in such a small
pool. Would you ?

I am working for an ISP and there was only one case of virus on
a Mac cassic in all those years. An this was a destructive virus 
and not a trojan horse.
