I don't have any comment on the rest of your post, but (and I'm frantically
knocking on wood as I write this), I don't think I've ever been hacked in the
33+ years I've been connected to the Internet or predecessor online systems.
What I use is a router with NAT between the modem (of whatever flavor) and any
of my systems. Back in the day, I had to do some gymnastics to play some
games -- I don't know if that is still an issue, but, to the greatest extent
possible, I recommend that everyone consider a router with NAT between their
computers and the Internet.
(And, as I close, Just knocking on wood a few more times... ;-)
