Hacking is a "temporal" problem.  It is very easy to find out the
telephone numbers of millions of faxes around, so why those guys are not
wasting miles of thermal paper by dumping electronic trash for hours at
every fax installed?  simply because this is to old, a kid's game, too
easy and do not challenge them...  It is exactly as winning the easy
entry level of a Nintendo game. Are they disrupting satellites yet?  Of
course not, why they would ruin their game vehicle?  In the future evil
would be eliminated. There is not evil in electronics. "Resist is
futile"... :)
