The thing about hackers is they normally don't attack someone to hurt
them, they just do it to see if they can.  For the most part uunless you
are a well-known annoyance or large company with valuable secrets you
dont' have to worry.  Having a good firewall is good though to prevent
nosy folks from seeing what you got.
