WYTM - "but what if it was true?"

[Allan Liska]

It is most likely a hoax:

As to your second question.  There are several options available to you 
depending on your level of paranoia:

1. Run a personal firewall (assuming you can find one that doesn't have 
a trojan that talks back to the manufacturer:cough: zone alarm  
:cough:).

2. Monitor and review all traffic that flows from your ethernet card 
using Ethereal, TCPDump or some other program.

3. Use an on-screen keyboard.
