1. Computers getting compromised because people:
   a. don't realize they're putting up a server and/or
   b. don't realize they need to maintain a server and/or
   c. don't have the resources to maintain a server and/or
   c. they are exposed to the Internet when they don't need
      to be and/or
   d. they are interested in academic pursuits unrelated to
      computer maintenance and security so cutting down the
      exposure lets them concentrate on what they are interested
      in with decreased risk.
