Home Computer Users are Vulnerable

Home users' computers are increasingly becoming cracker targets for a
number of reasons: many home machines are powerful enough to attract
the attention of crackers looking at launch denial of service attacks,
many home machines maintain high-speed, always-on connections that
increase their vulnerability, and home users tend to neglect security
measures normally employed by businesses.
