Hey all,
This is something which came up for me a while back. A comp-sci graduate friend of mine suggested that using uPnP was a good way to get hacked. I thought he was probably just exaggerating, the way he usually does so I forgot about it.
Anyway today while I was browsing The Register (any other reg fans?) I came across an article on the subject. I gave it a read and while I didn't understand ALL of it, some of it made sense. And I wondered what other people out there make of it? Is is such a big deal?
Before XBMC, I had never heard of uPnP.
