Question regarding IP address access.?

...
Would it be reasonable to assume that a SLANT EYED asian could transmit a trojan to your computer that disconnects your ip address to your internet provider? If so, Can the SLANT EYED asian be sued?

..
Answers:
Yes and Yes!
1. Remove the racist remarks from your question. If a person of ANY ethnicity can do something, then a person of any OTHER ethnicity can do it.
2. Place your question in Computers %26 Internet Security category.
I tell you this ... any dope who connects a computer to the Internet without good security, will soon not have a computer ... also person who connects a computer to the public utility electric system without electrical protection will eventually no longer have a computer, since the hardware will get fried.
There are inexpensive ways to protect our computers from hackers, spyware, viruses, spam, etc. etc. etc.
We live in a world in which humanity seems to delight in NOT protecting itself from obvious threats, then railing against people who exploit those threats. I guess it would be a dull world if we had nothing to complain about.
So, yes you can go around the world wearing a big KICK ME sign on your back, then sue anyone who does it. In the Internet world it can be an exercise in expensive futility to try to find the person who kicked you, and if you do find them, the amount of money that you can win in a law suit may well be a tiny fraction of the cost of locating them, and paying your lawyer.
But if you want to spend your life exposing yourself to people kicking you, and spend all your money providing it to lawyers, that is your privilege.
Me, I have a triple layer of types of firewall and other protection on computers at home and at work ... what one layer fails to stop, the others do. When something is able to get through, it is because computer owner management has judged that some trade-off is worth the risks.
I get my jollies not by having people e-kick me, then me complain about it, but by reading novels, solving problems, and engaging in certain romantic fantasies. Also I have some addictions, like ice cream and chocolate.
