The answer is a bit more involved than what your simple statement would
indicate. A target (large or small) sufficiently designed against attack
and intrusion has an upper hand over a target (large or small) that is
not so designed. http://librenix.com/?inode=21
Attack and intrusion are not impossible, but the odds of wide disruption
are slim, and probably will remain so. But believe what you will.
