I think that an article needs to be written for the internet mag concerning computer security and security habits. I am contemplating writing it myself, but I am really just an informed layman on the subject. Is there anyone out there who is well qualified on the subject who would like to write one (calling all professional network admins). It should definitely touch on the concepts of social engineering in security breaches (phishing, etc.). As internet poker has become more popular, I think that hackers and such have come to realize that internet poker players are a rather tasty target group, since quite a few of them have sizeable sums of money protected only by a few passwords, and online poker rooms are a perfect environment for transferring it. If you got someones password and were able to log on to their account, think how easy it would be to log as the victim on one PC, then piggyback your neighbors poorly protected wi-fi with another to log in on another account and play the two accounts in a HU match. Chilling.
