Yeah, it can happen in a g'zillion different ways,
which is why folks do it.
In my own circumstances, though, it's definitely
not an 'inadvertant' thing. I've been watching it
unfold for more than a decade. My inet machine
is under continual attack - all Malicious - all heart-
breaking, because I'm just working to lift folks
up out of the ignorance that's ravaged Humanity
since the Beginning.
Some of the 'hackers' that have attacked my
inet machine are =very= 'sophistocated', but
all of the attacks have one thing in-common:
my machine gets hacked by folks who can't
think for themselves, so they steal my thinking.
Which is Hilarious.
I give it away, anyway.
It's what's so Savage about the 'hacks'.
The folks who do it are 'seeking-advantage' in
a way that constitutes an attack upon those who
Suffer.
I can think of little that's more-disgusting than
this sort of thing is.
The biggest thing about it, with respect to me,
is that it's Hard to continue working when I see
all of this happening.
It 'dirties' my work-space - like being raped, and
having to, nevertheless, return to the scene of the
rape to continue working, thereby, re-experiencing
the rape, interminably.
Sometimes, as is the case currently, I can only sit
at my machine and watch the hacks doing their
stuff.
To me, what it amounts to is a Condemnation of
what 'america' has become - a Nation in which
such intrusion is not only Officially-Sanctioned, but
Officially-Sponsored.
It's alarming.
I see 'america' running head-long into an abyss.
Led there by Jackasses.
