security -- hmmmm......

yikes... is there is a way to prevent something like this??

On Monday, a Massachusetts court dismissed child-****ography charges
against Michael Fiola, a state employee. It was alleged that the
53-year-old had accessed the illegal material at work, but an extensive
forensic investigation of his computer revealed that viruses and other

So other people could secretly view the ****. Fiola's computer had been
taken over remotely by "botnet" operators...

Yes. It's known as "Safe Hex" informally, and formally as following safe

helpful information.
