no matter what the game when it comes to online there's always the  posssibilty of ''host booting'' which in simple terms is flooding an ip  address that your in contact with using ''bots'' which is a collection  of viruses that hackers spread on random peoples comuters through  torrent downloads which allows the said hacker too use these bots  (peoples computers) to flood the ip address of the victim and the more  the hacker has spread them the more bots he has in his arsenal. so in  heads up you should only have to ip's yours and the opponents which you  can get by using a ip sniffer which is widely available. Whether or not  this is known and counteracted by the sites is unknown but i too have  been playing heads-up and have had my internet interfered with but i  quickly reset my router and rejoined and still won :) but the moral of  the story is that it is possible to do this as it has been happening on  xbox live for many years and people have been doing this to close small  web sites connection as well and its not the hardest thing to do so its  quite common :s

By the way I'm by no means trying to condone  this action or trying to scaremonger I'm simply sharing my experience in  this pathetic cyber crime :)
