I have ten thousand script-kiddies running "crack" on your box who disagree
vehemently to the sound of sustained laughter.

If you think your 24/7 DSL-connected WinBox is secure, that's either because
nobody has discovered you, or they think you're totally uninteresting, or
they own you completely and are just letting you think you're secure so that
you can be crashed or mined when it will do the most damage.

My money's on the last choice, about 90 to 10.
