The main problem with the SETI_at_home program is that it has security holes.
The SETI site has been broken into at least 7 times in the past year by
hackers, giving them potential access to all of the SETI_at_home programs
installed around the world.

These security issues are further amplified in light of the recent
terrorits attacks.
