There are things called BACKDOOR trojans and/or WORMS that can infiltrate your computer while you are online. The likelihood of this happening to you is mostly determined by the lack of any security or antivirus software installed on your computer, latest service paks (see Microsofts site, service paks are free downloads) AND whether or not you are online all day (T1, 3, DSL, etc.). If you have to establish an internet connection (like dial up) whenever you go online, your chance of getting hit are greatly reduced.
Get an up to date Anti Virus program installed, update it (follow their instructions) and scan your computer. If it's a good product, it will detect these worms or at least warn you of the existence of a security flaw on your system, if applicable.
You DON'T have to know anybody from Israel for this to happen, IF it really did.
