For you Mac users here is something that you might want to have a look at. The Mac OS 9 has a fun little bug in it that leaves Internet users with "always on" digital subscriber line or cable modem connections, open to hackers. What this type of hacker attack does is place software on to Internet users computer, it does not however damage the computer it self. What it does do is swamp a target web site or server with messages at a given time, and effectively knock it out.
For those of you how are using this operating system, Apple has put up a fix for it.
