Remote login from Finder
Authored by: Jay D on Oct 18, '02 07:30:49PM
Well, i certainly care if i send my ip address, username and password in the clear on an open network. who could ask for a better invitation to screw with you? seriously, it's not about what you're using it for, but how you use it. i suppose if there's nothing on your machine that you care about, fine, but the "nobody's interested in my data" argument will get you every time. as a personal example, i connected a linux server appliance to the world, with nothing on it save the os at that point, and it was broken into the next day.

Out of curiosity, how were you able to tell that this had happened?
