SETI@home Hacked By Aliens!

Well it hasn’t happened yet, but The Guardian Unlimited reports that particle physicist Richard Carrigan has warned that ET and his buddies could use SETI@home to infect Earth’s computers with malicious code.

If ET is out there I’m sure he’s got better things to do with his time like getting his spaceship kitted out with the latest quantum flux capacitor for his next intergalactic jump. What’s probably more likely is some criminal network trying to hack SETI@home to send spam or attack other networks, especially now that the Guardian has highlighted the potential of the network!
