Can't hack a mac, that's another reason why NASA uses them.

Actually, most IT people figure the system is safest when it can't be used.

Years ago, I did a probing hack on the DND and the Pentagon. Can't remember which one I got into, but the other one responded within a moment with a script that said "Hello "user", on computer "number" in building "name", room number "xx". I shut down and left the building. (I learned to hack on other people logging into public computers and leaving them while still logged on.)

My point is that was ten years ago. Most router software can detect, block and track probes. If they shut down a whole intranet for more than an hour because of a probe then they probably screwed something up when they forced the shut down.

A probe and a virus event are two different things.

Oh well, hope it's up and running soon.
