This is a joke. This 'tard issued accounts on the machine to anyone who asked. AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, he left SSH open on his machine fir people to login.
This article can be discounted.
Well hell, no wonder people hacked his box. If he'd put up a decent firewall and then someone hacked it using an http or https exploit, then I might worry a little.

I own a MAC and Several PC's....SSH isn't normally left open....for GAWD sake...and I would never set any machine as a server....
The article is out to lunch....and not real world!
