Well, I don't know, just because it has not been hacked does not prove that it can't be. Watching industry trends shows that many of the custom solutions are worse than the more popular generic versions.

But if you don't have the necessary files (application, data, whatever) on your machine, they get downloaded from a download server. These are now distributed, and in the coming days we'll add at least one more.
