[dba-VS] [AccessD] Visual Studio and source control

It is a simple matter of keeping it off the internet.

I have never EVER seen ANYTHING on the internet not subject to hacking.  
If it is on my own server then it is behind my firewall. In the 8 years 
that I have been running VMs on my 2008-R2 VM Server, none of which ever 
touch the internet, I have never been hacked.

If it is not public, why put it in a public place?
