Though apo.org doesn't look like something that someone would be dying to hack. I have to say that its more likely to be hacked for the use of file serving than you think. I work for a university. When I first started working in our IT department I thought that no one would care to hack us. But hey, in the 2 months we were without Web Security personnel we were hacked 5 times (3 of those crashed us completely, 2 just took up monstrous amounts of space that was hard to get rid of.) So don't underestimate what hackers are looking for. Plus, some will use your address for things like viruses and the like.
