With all due respect John, I simply disagree. Unfortunately, dishonestly isn't gonna disappear until humans do . With a proper, "secure" network and firewall infrastructure hackers will not likely be successful...but will always keep trying (human nature once again). The corporate sites I worked with were never hacked, but the attempts to do so were pretty sophisticated and the quantity of attempts (daily) was somewhat mind boggling. It certainly can be prevented with proper infrastructure, platforms, monitoring, and policies in place...BTDT. That "might" not be cost effective for Motion's environment, but I'd venture a simple firewall approach with a few rules that block a handful of foreign countries would effectively eliminate "most" of these hacking attempts (based upon what Motion posted earlier). Just my two pennys worth....
