There was an article on TheInquirer.Net yesterday saying that a Mac Mini had been hacked in to and had its website totally defaced. It was running some version of Apache.
Some college nut decided that this was rediculous and decided that he would host his own web server, with all the latest security patches and updates.
Well, after 38 hours, the test closed and there were no successful hacking attempts. Over 4000 SSH logins attempted, and the IPFW log grew ar 40MB/hr apparently.

LOL, I didn't hear about that. So was this Mini running as a server or something?

That's probably why I haven't seen any large Mac servers.
