Um, I think this has gotten just a [i]little[-/i] off topic.
OK back on subject. Who thinks bnet is hackable? I think it is pretty secure. I think halo2sucks has been brought down before, but I've never seen bnet go down. Looking at Zanzibar I think there are a lot of people who would like to bring it down.
Strictly speaking, any site is hackable (unless it is powered off).
It's mostly a matter of how attractive is the target, what are the potential gains from success (sometimes it is simply to gain access to another connected system). Then it is a matter trying to keep the potential vulnerabilities out of reach of the likely attackers.
I'd be confident that Bungie.Net is isolated from the game studios internal file servers (a really fat and juicy target) and that most of the information on this site is what nearly anyone can see by browsing it. So other than a tagger or someone who was looking for bragging rights, there are much more attractive targets on the Net.
I would imagine that there are still plenty of attempts and incidents however.
I'm sure you could ask valve software all about that!! Lol.Bunch of smegheads!
BTW off topic again to british words no one mentioned the cockney rhyming slang 'berk'.
