password stealing and server hacking is a lot easier then you think.
the bad guys run a script 24/7 spidering one ip after another getting whatever info it can about operating system, scripts or whatever the server has installed. Once the script has that information it goes through what exploits it knows exists for that operating system or scripts. then the attack happens and takes your passwords or whatever it can. all this usually from an exploited server, so they don't get caught. and the owners of the server don't even know it.
