Computer security =/ publicly-accessable server security.

A linux box, layered in encryption and not plugged into any network = damb secure.

A network-connected linux box with a hardened OS, firewalled, acting only as a file server, given regular updates and 24/7 monitoring = less likely to be "hacked" than struck by lightning.

A hard drive with its power supply physically switched off = 100% secure from external attack.

Not a joke. The keys for editing the world's most important files, the root zone, are kept on no-power drives in air-gapped safes. They have yet to be hacked.
