You know what else has already happened too? Tycho has been hacked. That's why he instituted email locks on accounts, because a hacker got into his system and changed peoples addresses. Hacked once...

Please, don't tell about what you don't know.
Most (~14) victims of that attack were using same passwords on deepbit and another pool that got hacked, that's how the attacker got them. Also they were using same passwords for mining and main account.

Very well, my apologies for creating such an insinuation, at the time it occured you did not know how it happened and I must have missed it had you shared the information later.

But it still stands to reason that no one is proof against hacking and it's still a potential risk as was my original point.

You are definitely correct regardless, about it being a threat. Tycho himself is likely a target as well. His personal home network, work network, etc. It is the online atmosphere in which he is becoming wealthy from. A serious business like that requires serious security.
